Template:Extension/doc

This template should be added to all extension pages on this wiki (but only the main page). It will add a useful infobox (see below) and will automatically add the extension to Category:All extensions, along with the appropriate status and implementation type categories.

Usage


Content parameters
This section describes parameters that govern infobox content. For help with templatemode and other control parameters, please see Control parameters.

Control parameters
e, thanks! This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:

Fixing documentation
If you would like to fix documentation, please be aware that documentation and code is split into two files:
 * Template:Extension/Doc - stores all documentation.
 * Template:Extension - stores only the code for the template and a small amount of non-included material (category links, transcluded documentation link).

In addition, Template:Extension/Sample stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters. It needs to be kept in sync with Template:Extension/Doc.

The Create extension button
To improve the create extension button behavior:
 * Template:Extension/Sample: The boilerplate extension that is preloaded into newly-created pages.
 * Template:Extension/CreateExtensionInputBox: An input box that can be inserted wherever you want users to easily create extensions. For documentation on the   tag, please see Extension:InputBox.
 * Extension:MyExtension: - Defines a placeholder, in case a user accidentally hits the create button without changing the extension name.
