Templates

What’s the thing, where you can make a title of a page, say something that is not it’s real name? It’s something like {{SHOWTITLE}}.

Also, how do you use it.

I have a problem with this navbox template here. I'm still working on expanding it, but as you can see, there's this part where the content under "Episodes" gets moved over to the left with a blank part for the rest of the row.

I would like for the content to fill the entire row and for the dark green part to be removed, but I don't know how to do that as I am not very good with tables.

I used to have a custom cursor. Since the update, it has largely disappeared. I tried to add the original code to Special:MyPage/common.css. That's not coming up anymore. "MyPage" just leads to my personal profile. The CSS receives the code but freezes with a "finger" instead of the cursor I selected. What am I doing wrong? I bypassed my cache and it still isn't showing. Thanks for assisting me everybody.

I first added this code with a PNG file. Then I added with jpg. I've resized the image to 18px.

/*** Custom cursor ***/
/* Global cursor */
body {
  cursor: url('Bratzhands_adobespark_(1).png'), pointer; 
}
/* Link cursor */
a:hover {
  cursor: url('Bratzhands_adobespark_(1).png'), pointer; 
}

/*** Custom cursor ***/
/* Global cursor */
body {
  cursor: url('Bratz-Logo-PNG-Image-Background 6.png'), pointer; 
}
/* Link cursor */
a:hover {
  cursor: url('Bratz-Logo-PNG-Image-Background 6.png'), pointer; 
}

/*** Custom cursor ***/
/* Global cursor */
body {
  cursor: url('_____'), pointer; 
}
/* Link cursor */
a:hover {
  cursor: url('_____'), pointer; 
}

I'd like to make something similar to the Connect box Community Central has on their main page because it's nice. I looked at the code and got the Connect part and Staff part down but it doesn't look right..

Is it something I'm missing or something I have to insert on wiki code (like JS or CSS), idk.

What's the cause and how do I fix it? It's showing on the doc page, but not on the template page's doc (bottom) section.

Template:MessageBox

Example Page

Two other problems are:

1. The MessageBox not appearing on mobile (but it does on the template page).

2. Its Category:Under Construction link staying red (?action=edit&redlink=1) unless I re-save the pages the MessageBox was used on since the category was only created after the template was created and added to those two pages. Is this a bug that I should report or expected?

Hi! I have issues catching some parameter values with DPL and was wondering if someone had any idea.

I made a short test case with text explaining succinctly how it's set up, what's the problem, and one supposition as to the cause of the problem.

I have no supposition to make regarding a solution though =)

If you could check out the test case I linked to above, it'd be helpful. Thanks!

Hi! I'm scratching my head a bit trying to find the right syntax (if any) for passing custom arguments into phantom templates when using DPL.

The following works:

<dpl>
category=Something
uses=Template:Example
include={Example}.dpl|phantom_arg=Works
format=,,\n,
</dpl>

But since I want to use the phantom template with templates other than Example, I'd like to get the other include phantom syntax to work:

{Example|Phantom template}

I tried various ways to pass phantom_arg but to no avail.

Ideally, I'd rather have it work with {{#dpl:}} than <dpl>, but I'll go with whatever succeeds.

Thanks!

How would I go about adding an "edit" button to the header of a given template, like a navbox or a table? It's done on Wikipedia, their navboxes have "V T E" in the left corner of the header, for View, Talk, Edit.

It makes it easier to edit a table from the article itself, rather than having to go to the separate "Template:Whatever" page.

I used to see it more often here back during the Wikia days, but like I said, it's quite common on Wikipedia.

Basically, does this work? The template source code is for a character infobox, the former is for hiding spoilers.

Hello everyone, i'm kinda new in here and still learn how to proper writte templates for the wiki https://pokemon.fandom.com/pt-br/wiki/Pok%C3%A9P%C3%A9dia.

Specifically, I've been having trouble with the preview mode, when I edit this template: https://pokemon.fandom.com/pt-br/wiki/Predefini%C3%A7%C3%A3o:Pok%C3%A9monInfobox,

See the example:

How it should look (preview mode).

How it end up looking (specifically on this page: https://pokemon.fandom.com/pt-br/wiki/Charizard).

And it's not hte first time something like this happend. On the first versions of this template, every time I used an '{{#if' something like the example above would happen. How can I prevent this from happening? Shouldn't I trust on the preview mode? Is there any tool I can trust to proper preview it?

Edit: Oh gosh, i don't know even how to link wikis correctly.

Hello, I am trying to give a new look into the main page of my wiki, but the thing is that, I am trying to make a main page kinda like in this wiki, but the thing is when I put the code they use such as this:

{| align="center" style="text-align:center;"
|-
| [[File:MasatoYoshino.jpg|133px|link=Category:Wrestlers]]
| [[File:JonMoxley2020.jpg|130px|link=Category:Gaijin]]
| [[File:Utami Hayashishita.jpg|140px|link=Category:Joshi]]
|-
| '''[[Category:Wrestlers|Wrestlers]]'''
| '''[[Category:Gaijin|Gaijin]]'''
| '''[[Category:Joshi|Joshi]]'''
|}

The result is this:

How can I fix this issue?

Thank you for your time

Hello. SpoilerBlur is a css customization that editors can use to blur spoiler content in wikis. I added it to a wiki I'm an admin on, and it works fine, except for in mobile, as it turns out css customization doesn't work on mobile (by customizations, I mean customizations to Common.css or Mobile.css). So readers on mobile don't see any blur, while desktop viewers do.

My question is, is there something else we could use to create a similar effect for both desktop and mobile viewers? It would probably have to be a template, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to create one. And what I want is something that will hide text with minimal effect (so no collapsible box). Thank you in advance.

Hello again.

I recently made a new template on my home wiki called StudioIcon, which is meant to just be a bunch of icons for something.

However, for some reason, whenever I use this icon inside of a list, it causes the list to just bug out, as the icon makes the list go to a new line. I have no idea what's going on.

Here's an image of what the problem looks like.

(This can be found here)

I would like to see why this infoicon causes lists to do stuff like this. All the other infoicons on the JToH Wiki work completely fine, so I don't know what I did wrong here.

Hello,

I have set up AWB with a bot account and was successfully able to find and replace text in over 400 pages based on categories.

I want to make several changes to pages that use a specific template

https://anthem.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Cortex

All pages using that template fall under a category called Cortex.

I wanted to know if the following were possible and how to do them, for both pages using templates and the ones that don't:

1. Remove repetitive newlines using regex. (I tried finding \n\n and replacing it with \n but it did not work when trying on a page. However, it did work in the Regex Tester).

2. Replace double/triple spaces

3. Remove unnecessary newlines between template parameters. A lot of pages when checked have somehow gotten a new line between parameters. I have no idea how that happened

4. Add newlines before the pipe character of each template parameter.

5. Append only the end of a line that begins with a certain string pattern with some other form of text. (I want to append all lines that begin with the parameter |entry_image = with a .png at the end because not having an extension that is affecting DPL'ed pages. The template is designed to provide the extension because I did not think it through, as I had to add over 1000 pages.)

My plan is to add a new line between each template field name before a pipe character (because some pages have no new lines between multiple/empty parameters and are clumped together; don't know how that happened), then first use the bot to remove any triple newlines from all the pages, then again remove any remaining double newlines. I think with that all unnecessary multiple newlines should be stripped away.

Example that has a lot of unnecessary empty newlines between sentences: https://anthem.fandom.com/wiki/Cortex_Entry:_The_Anthem_of_Creation_(3)

I would like to create a blue box template with some text that can be collapsed, and an image. What is the code for this? Here is an example image:

Can you please respond?

I just went to create a template, and it's only letting me use source mode. Can't switch to visual editor, even if I have that set as my preferred edit mode.

Normally, I do edit using source mode, especially for complex things. But I just need a pretty basic table, so I wanted to try it in the Vis Editor.

Is this something new with Fandom Desktop, or has it just been so long, I've forgotten how to "trigger" visual editor for the template namespace?
