Overview

This guideline summarizes the functions of commonly used templates in this wiki.

Section one will give you a brief overview about wiki templates and when you want to use them. The second section deals with some common tasks in the DetectiveConanWorld (DCW) wiki and introduces helpful templates. The usage of the discussed templates is illustrated by examples. In the third section common used templates are tabulated by name and by usage.

If you are new with the subject just follow this articles given structure. In case you want to learn more about the provided templates for a specific kind of articles, go on reading the respective paragraphs in section two. Should you already be familiar with this wiki and just want to check out a particular template or its usage, you can directly go to section three.

Section 1: Wiki templates

[text: was sind vorlagen; warum vorlagen]

Templates usually are stored separately from articles, in namespace #10, and their talk pages in namespace #11. In the DCW wiki the prefix for template pages is called 'Template' and 'Template talk' for their talk pages respectively.

• To include a template in your article, simply write the templates name in doubled curly brackets, e.g. {{SomeTemplate}} if the templates pagename is called .../wiki/Template:SomeTemplate.
• If the template accepts further specification of variable content, you can add parameter. Parameter are separated with vertical slashes. If the variables are named, you can specify the parameter with the variables name.

E. g. {{SomeTemplate|hello|world}} will identify the parameter with the templates variables in the given order. Therefor the output of {{SomeTemplate|hello|world}} may not equals {{SomeTemplate|world|hello}}, whereas the output of {{SomeTemplate|first=hello|second=world}} equals {{SomeTemplate|second=world|first=hello}} if the template contains the two variables called 'first' and 'second'.

• There are two different ways including a template:

1. Including a template 'by reference' maybe is the most common one. Here you only write the templates name in doubled curly brackets, as shown above.
2. Including a template 'by value' (substitution) will copy the whole contents of the template replacing the variable contents with the given parameters. You have to add the keyword 'subst' when including the template, e.g. {{subst:SomeTemplate}}.
