Zhen Lin: Templates moved to FrathWiki:Templates

= What is a template? =

The [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software used by FrathWiki has support for templates. This means standardized text chunks (such as [[Wikipedia:Template messages|boilerplate]] text) can be inserted into articles. For example, typing <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> will appear as "{{stub}}".

==Instructions==
To create a new user message, you need to make an article under the name '''Template:TEMPLATENAME'''.

Messages can be used in two ways: <nowiki>{{subst:TEMPLATENAME}} and {{TEMPLATENAME}}</nowiki>. <tt>subst</tt> copies the user message into the text of the article you are working on. Without <tt>subst</tt> the text of the user message is retrieved from the template space each time the article is opened. <nowiki>{{msg:TEMPLATENAME}} does the same thing as {{TEMPLATENAME}}</nowiki>.

If you create a new user message, please keep the list below updated.

= Templates on this wiki =

== ABC ==
This [[Template:ABC]] replaces the table of contents with links to the headings of an alphabetized list such as a vocabulary. To insert it type <nowiki>{{subst:ABC}} </nowiki> at the top of the edit window and save the page, then create headings named
<pre>
== A ==
== B ==
== C ==
</pre>
etc.

<center>
[[#A|A]] - [[#B|B]] - [[#C|C]] - [[#D|D]] - [[#E|E]] - [[#F|F]] - [[#G|G]] - [[#H|H]] - [[#I|I]] - [[#J|J]] - [[#K|K]] - [[#L|L]] - [[#M|M]] - [[#N|N]] - [[#O|O]] - [[#P|P]] - [[#Q|Q]] - [[#R|R]] - [[#S|S]] - [[#T|T]] - [[#U|U]] - [[#V|V]] - [[#W|W]] - [[#X|X]] - [[#Y|Y]] - [[#Z|Z]]
</center>

There's also [[Template:widetoc]] which does similar.

== Work in progress ==

To show that a page is under construction, under revision or otherwise incomplete you can type <nowiki>{{Workinprogress}}</nowiki> at the top of of the page and it will appear as the following boilerplate:

"{{Workinprogress}}".

Equivalent code is <nowiki>{{WIP}} or {{Wip}} or {{wip}}</nowiki>.

== User page template ==

This [[Template:Userpage]] is a ripoff of [[User:Chlewey]]'s elegant user page.
You can use it as a help to create your own user page. To include it in your own page type <nowiki>{{subst:Userpage}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears. Replace the text in UPPERCASE with information relevant to yourself.

== Language template ==

This [[Template:Language|template]] was designed by [[User:WeepingElf|Jörg]] as a base for your language descriptions. It contains a box in the upper right corner with basic language data (location, timeline/universe, number of speakers, genealogical classification) modelled after the similar boxes found in Wikipedia language articles. To include it in your page, type
<nowiki>{{subst:Language}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open the edit window again and edit the table that now appears.

== Swadesh template ==

This template, adapted from the [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Swadesh template|Wiktionary:Swadesh template]] can be used to demonstrate the vocabulary of a conlang. It can be seen [[Template:Swadesh|here]].
To include it in your own page type <nowiki>{{subst:Swadesh}}</nowiki> into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears.

== IPA transcription ==

I have made a template [[Template:IPA]] to select fonts for displaying special characters correctly in Internet Explorer. It will also display a tooltip saying "IPA transcription". See [[Template talk:IPA]] for usage instructions.
