Help:Templates/es

Si tiene textos que quiera incluir en varias páginas, la plantilla MediaWiki característica entra en juego (como la etiqueta encima de la cual se incluye en las páginas de la Ayuda de nombre). A diferencia de las extensiones y archivos de media, no hay repositorio central para plantillas. Las plantillas pueden ser recién escritas o para guardar trabajo duplicado ya hecho, exportado desde otra wiki (por ejemplo, Wikipedia), y luego importado a la wiki objetivo.

Creación
Las plantillas son páginas wiki estándar cuyo contenido está diseñado para ser transcluido (embebido) en otras páginas. Las plantillas siguen la convención de que el nombre está prefijado con el término " ", asignándolo a dicho namespace. Por lo demás, puedes crearlas de la misma forma que cualquier otra página wiki.

Un ejemplo sencillo del uso de una plantilla es crear una página llamada "Template:Welcome" que contenga:

¡Hola! Bienvenido al wiki.

¡Has creado tu primera plantilla! Si luego insertas el código:

en cualquier otra página, cuando se visualice esa página aparecerá el texto "¡Hola! Te damos la bienvenida al wiki" en lugar de. El contenido de la plantilla se "transcluye" a la otra página, es decir, se integra en la página.

Puedes insertar  en cualquier punto de cualquier página donde desees dar la bienvenida a alguien. Supongamos que se usa en 100 páginas. Si cambiases el contenido de la plantilla a:

¡Buenas! Bienvenido a este maravilloso wiki.

y revisas cualquiera de las 100 páginas donde se usa la plantilla, verás el nuevo texto en lugar del original. De esta forma, has cambiado el contenido de 100 páginas sin editarlas, porque la plantilla se transcluye a estas páginas.

Este es el mecanismo básico. Hay varias características adicionales de transclusión que enriquecen este mecanismo y hacen que las plantillas sean muy útiles.

Uso
Las plantillas son páginas wiki que se pueden usar en otras páginas de tres maneras:


 * incluye el contenido de la plantilla en el momento que la página que la contiene se descargue "Template:Name".
 * inserta el contenido de la plantilla en el código de la página, en una forma que se pueden editar normalmente "Template:Name" después de que haya guardado su texto.
 * — this was introduced to allow for substitution that doesn't break transclusion, see w:en:Help:Substitution.
 * cuando la página que contiene es descabellada, incluye la plantilla de una forma que lo muestra como la sintaxis del wiki en bruto, como.

In fact, an ordinary wiki page can also be used as a template, simply by specifying the namespace it resides in, so:


 * includes
 * includes
 * includes
 * replaces itself with the contents of

If no such namespace exists, the full title is assumed to be a template:


 * includes

Parámetros
To enrich the mechanism of transclusion, MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to a template when it is transcluded. Parameters allow the template to produce different contents or have different behaviors.

Suppose you wish to insert a little thank you note in the talk page of other users, such as:

La nota de agradecimiento tendrá una razón (en este caso, "todo tu esfuerzo") y una firma ("Yo"). Tu objetivo es que cualquier usuario sea capaz de agradecer a cualquier otro usuario, por cualquier razón.

So that the note will look similar everywhere it is used, you can define a template called, for example. Although the note should look similar whenever a user thanks another user, its specific contents (i.e. the reason and the signature) will be different. For that reason, you should pass them as parameters. If we ignore the remaining elements to format the box and place the image, the core content of the template will be this:

Notice the use of  and. This is the way to identify, within templates, the parameters that will be passed in when the template is used. Note that, within the template, each parameter is surrounded by three braces:. This is different from normal template name usage.

When using the template on a page, you fill in the parameter values, separated by a "pipe" character. MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to the template in three ways: Anonymously, Numbered, and Named.

Parámetros anónimos
To pass in anonymous parameters, list the values of those parameters sequentially:

En este caso, la plantilla  recibe los parámetros   y , produciendo:

The order in which anonymous parameters are passed in is crucial to its behavior. Reversing the order of the parameters, like so:

produciría este resultado:

Plantilla con parámetros numerados
To pass in parameters by number, identify each parameter when passing it:

Esta vez, la plantilla  recibe los parámetros   y , aunque hayan sido provistos en el orden inverso, y produce:

Plantilla con los parámetros nombrados
The third way of passing parameters is by name instead of numbers. In this case, the template contents would be changed to:

Un pequeño agradecimiento... por. abrazos,

Within the template, we use  and   to identify each parameter, instead of a number. To pass these parameters by name, identify each parameter when passing it:

In this case, template  receives parameters   and   and produces:

Named parameters are case-sensitive, so:

produces:

The advantage of using named parameters in your template, besides also being flexible in the order parameters can be passed, is that it makes the template code much easier to understand if there are many parameters.

Valores predeterminados
If you transclude a template that expects parameters, but do not provide their arguments, in this way:

in the numbered parameters example above you would get the following:

Since no arguments were passed in, the template presents the parameters themselves, instead of their respective values. In these cases, it may be useful to define default values for the parameters, i.e. values that will be used if no value is passed in. For example, if the template contents are changed to:

then  defines that if no argument is provided for parameter , then the value   will be used. Similarly,, defaults parameter   to value. Now, transcluding the template again without passing any argument results in the following:

Order of evaluation
With a few exceptions, template parameters are fully evaluated before they are passed to the template. So if one of your parameters is a call to another template, what is actually passed is the expanded parameter.

becomes before it becomes:

In a few circumstances, this order of evaluation makes a difference from the alternative. (The alternative being to check the results of the template call to see if there are additional templates to be expanded.)

First, the name of the template can be expanded at the same time and in the same way as the parameters.

Thus might expand to So that a template called  could display the thank you in the preferred language (however that was determined.)

Secondly, the template being called can't construct a template from pieces to be called later. A template that took the form would not work if was and was.

Thirdly, the parameter being passed is expanded only once, rather than every place the parameter is used in the template. This is more efficient on the mediawiki server.

Finally, the template being called can't stop the parameter from being expanded altogether. Even if a template only uses a parameter in some circumstances, it will always have been expanded before the call was made.

Exceptions to the order of evaluation
In a few circumstances, template parameters are not evaluated before being passed to the template.

Parameters to a  expansion are not evaluated, but are passed literally.

Some magic words are not evaluated as parameters. Their evaluation is delayed because they have side-effects. For example, would not


 * 1) evaluate
 * 2) change the display title of the page and
 * 3) call   with parameter 1 being blank

instead


 * 1)   would not be evaluated (yet)
 * 2)   would be called with parameter 1 being
 * 3) only if   is evaluated in , would the display title of the page be changed.

Which magic words are evaluated late like this has not been fully documented. Known ones include:

Recursion in templates
Including a template in itself won't throw MediaWiki into infinite recursion. MediaWiki will stop the recursion with the template's name in bold. For example, if the content of "Template:Aaaa" is " ", it'll show as "Template:Aaaa" and display Template loop detected: Template:Aaaa.

Inclusión de Control de plantilla
By default, a template's content is displayed in its entirety, both when viewed directly and when included in another page. However, Puede controlar la inclusión en la plantilla de la utilización de,   e.

Cualquier cosa entre  y   serán procesados y sólo aparece cuando la página se está viendo directamente, no estará incluido en el resultado de la plantilla cuando esta sea usada. Las posibles aplicaciones son:


 * Adjudicando Categorías a las plantillas
 * Interlanguage enlaces a las plantillas similares en otros idiomas
 * Texto explicativo acerca de cómo utilizar la plantilla

Lo contrario es. Texto entre  y   serán procesados y se mostrará sólo cuando la página vaya a ser incluida. La aplicación es evidente para añadir todas las páginas que contengan una determinada plantilla a un categoría, sin poner la propia plantilla en esa categoría.


 * Categorizing pages which include the template. Note: when changing the categories applied by a template in this fashion, the categorization of the pages which include that template may not be updated until some time later: this is handled by the . To force the re-categorization of a particular page, open that page for editing and save it without changes.
 * Ensuring that the template's code is not executed when viewing the template page itself. Typically this is because it expects parameters, and its execution without parameters has an undesired result.

Everything outside  and   is processed and displayed normally; that is, both when the template page is being viewed directly and when the template is included in another page. The focus is on what is inside these two tags.

Everything outside  tags is discarded in the transclusion. Even sections tagged includeonly are discarded in the transclusion unless they are also tagged as onlyinclude. The focus is on what is outside this tag.

Nesting of these tags is also possible.

The three partial transclusion tags enable all possible combinations of what is processed and rendered. Comments also fill a role.

Organización de plantillas
Para que las plantillas sean efectivas los usuarios necesitan encontrarlas y ser capaces de utilizarlas. Una técnica simple es incluir un ejemplo es la página de la plantilla.

Para encontrarlos, los usuarios pueden:
 * 1) Hacer clic en ' > '
 * 2) En la lista ', elegir Template y hacer clic en '.

To give usage information, include an example like this one on the template page:

Usage
Welcome users:

Enlace a una plantilla
A template page can be linked to like any other wiki page. For example, the link is generated using the wikicode.

On many wikis, Template:Tl can be used to provide a link to a template formatted in a way that shows the "double curly-braces" wikicode necessary to transclude the template without actually doing the tranclusion. For example, the code  may be used to create the link Navbar.

This construct is commonly used in template documentation, on help pages, and on talk pages when referring to templates. The same effect can be achieved by using, but the tl approach involves much less typing. On any given wiki the Tl template, if it exists, may or may not render the text in a "code" element, as shown here. If not, another similarly named template may do so. See, for example, the "See also" section of the documentation of en:Template:Tl at the English Wikipedia.

Copying from one wiki to another
Templates often require CSS or other templates, so users frequently have trouble copying templates from one wiki to another. The steps below should work for most templates.

Código de MediaWiki
If you have import rights (Specifically importupload) on the new wiki:


 * 1) Go to Special:Export on the original wiki, and download an .xml file with the complete history of all necessary templates, as follows:
 * 2) * Enter the name of the template in the big text box, e.g. "Template:Welcome". Pay special attention to capitalization and special characters — if the template name isn't exactly correct, the export may still occur but the .xml file will not have the expected data.
 * 3) * Marca la opción "".
 * 4) * Desmarca la opción "".
 * 5) * Haz clic en "".
 * 6) Go to Special:Import on the new wiki and upload the .xml file.

If you don't have import rights on the new wiki:


 * 1) Go to the template you want to copy from the original wiki. Go to the edit page, and copy all the wikitext
 * 2) On the new wiki, go to the page with the same name as the template you copied. Hit create/edit and paste the wikitext you copied. In the edit summary of each template, link to the original page for attribution.
 * 3) Back in the original wiki at the edit window, below the edit box, look at the list of "Templates used on this page". For each template listed follow these instructions. Also do that for any template used by any of these templates, and so on.

This will copy the entire code necessary, and will suffice for some templates. If it doesn't work also check for red links listed under "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page:", below the edit box. If there are any repeat the above steps for these as well and also copy the code in the modules.

After successfully importing the template and all its linked templates from the other wiki, edit it to change customisations to suit your wiki. For example to change a logo, remove redundant categories or red links.

Extensiones
An extension often used in templates is ParserFunctions. Visit page and check if any of the functions listed there are used in the templates you've copied. If so, you have to install the extension. To install it, you'll need system admin access to the server of your MediaWiki installation.

Another dependency that may be used in templates, especially those on Wikipedia, is Lua. Having   in template code is a good sign for it. In case it's used, you need to install the extension and system admin access is required too. See that page for more instructions about installing and using the extension.

Código CSS y JavaScript
Besides MediaWiki code, many templates make use of CSS and some rely on JavaScript to work fully. If the copied templates are not behaving as expected, this may be the cause. To copy the required CSS and JavaScript to your wiki you'll normally need to have admin privileges, because you'll be editing system messages in the "MediaWiki:" namespace.


 * 1) Look for the use of CSS classes (text like  ) in the template text. If those classes appear in "MediaWiki:Common.css" or "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" on the original wiki, copy those classes to "MediaWiki:Common.css" on the new wiki and check if the template is now fine.
 * 2) If the copied template is still not working as expected, check if there is code in "MediaWiki:Common.js" or "MediaWiki:Monobook.js" on the original wiki. If so, you can try copying it to "MediaWiki:Common.js" on the new wiki. Normally, it is a good idea to only copy code from trusted sources, and first browsing the code to identify and select the parts that are relevant. You may find comments that can serve as clues to identify the functionality of each part.
