Help:Tab view

Tab view gives an easy way of combining pages into one page with a tab for each sub-page. This can be an attractive and useful view for organising content.

Using tab view
To use this feature, just list the pages you want to include inside the special tabs:

Page for tab 1 Page for tab 2 Page for tab 3

This will give you:

To change the text on the tabs, add a title separated from the page name with a pipe (|)

Page for tab 1|Tab 1 Page for tab 2|Tab 2 Page for tab 3|Tab 3

This will give you:

If a page is showing very frequently updated information, you may want to force the tab to check for new content on each page load. This can be done with a second pipe. This should be used sparingly

Page for tab 1|Tab 1|false Page for tab 2|Tab 2 Page for tab 3|Tab 3

The last variable chooses which tab is open when the page loads. By default, all tabs are closed, but you can choose an open tab by using a third pipe

Page for tab 1|Tab 1|false Page for tab 2|Tab 2||true Page for tab 3|Tab 3

As you can see in this example, any variables you don't need can be left blank. For example, if you want to have the third tab as the active tab on page load, but not to set any other variables, you would use:

Page for tab 1 Page for tab 2 Page for tab 3|||true
