Template:Help button/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage[edit]

This template is used to create a "help button" that links to WP:Help button. It is also used to create the buttons in WP:Help button and its subpages, including a "back" button. The template uses {{Clickable button 2}}.

As a help button[edit]

Without any parameters, the template creates a help button. This button can be placed anywhere that might be helpful, such as on a user talk page, welcome template, or other appropriate location.

Code:{{Help button}}

Result: Help!

As a navigation button[edit]

With parameters, the template can be used to create buttons for WP:Help button and its subpages.

Format: {{Help button |[target page] |[button label] |text=[accompanying text]}}

Example: {{Help button |Main Page |Wikipedia's main page |text=Click this button to go to Wikipedia's main page}}

Result:

Click this button to go to Wikipedia's main page

As a back button[edit]

With parameter |back=, the template can be used to create a specially-styled "back" button. A target page must be specified.

Format: {{Help button |back |[target page]}}

Example: {{Help button |back |WP:Help button}}

Result: ← Back

Color and other styling[edit]

Default styling is contained in the {{help button}} template code, but it can be overridden. This ensures that all buttons using {{help button}} look the same throughout the WP:Help button tree of subpages, while still allowing custom styling when needed.

|class= specifies one of three accessible colors used by {{Clickable button 2}}:

  • |class=neutral creates a gray button
  • |class=destructive creates a red button
  • If no |class= is specified, the default is |class=progressive, which creates a blue button

|style= can specify a CSS style. For more information, see the documentation at {{Clickable button 2}}.
