One-Punch Man Wiki

There are many templates in use on this wiki; these are only a subset, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

  • Category:Templates should include all templates in this wiki, categorized into the various subcategories.
  • The Template namespace (found from Special:Allpages) always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are templates?[]

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. {{stub}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:

  1. a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
  2. the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
  3. the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

Article management templates[]

Nominate an article for deletion[]

{{delete}}

Disambiguation articles[]

{{disambig}}

  • If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterward. For example:
The Prince <-- disambiguation page, with links to:
The Prince (frog)
The Prince (human)

References needed[]

{{ref needed}}

  • When a page lacks a sufficient amount of references, add this template to the start of the article. This template will include the page in Category:Articles that need referencing, which is used to list which articles need references and citations.
  • For more information, see the referencing guide.

Missing Information[]

{{missinginfo}}

  • When a page has missing or incomplete information, this template can be used. This template will include them in the Category:Articles with missing information, which is used to list which articles need to be completed.

Stubs[]

{{stub}}

  • When a page has little or no useful information, then it is likely a stub. This template will include them in Category:Article stubs, which is used to list which articles need expanding.
  • For more information, see Help:Stubs.

Category templates[]

General category template[]

{{category}}

  • This can be added to categories to add general categorizing details. Use in cases where it may be useful to point out to users how to categorize, such as popular categories.

Template category template[]

{{templatecategory}}

  • This should be added to any template-related categories, to list template-specific categorizing details, which differ from those of normal pages.

General wiki templates[]

Clear[]

{{clr}}, plus {{clrl}} and {{clrr}}

  • This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code <br style="clear:both;" />. Its use should generally be avoided.
  • You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
  • You can also use {{clrl}} or {{clrr}} to clear only left or right floats.

For[]

{{for|<name>|<link>}}

  • Use at the top of articles as a simple "for x see y" template.

Main article[]

{{main|<main article>}}

  • Use at the start of a section to link to the main article on it.

See also[]

{{see also|<additional page>}}

  • Use at the start of a section to link to an additional page.

Right-aligned Table of Contents[]

{{tocright}}

  • This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

Sandbox[]

{{sandbox}}

T is for template[]

{{t|<template>}}

  • This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

Welcome[]

{{welcIP}} and {{welcome}}

  • The first (with longer version "welcomeIP" for those of you who like typing more) is to welcome new non-vandalistic contributors who are "anonymous", identified only by their IP number; it encourages them to register.
  • The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
  • The above two templates are very suitable for having "subst:" prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about "how to edit".

Wikipedia[]

{{wikipedia}}, {{wikipedia-deleted}}

  • Wikipedia-related templates. Use {{wikipedia}} for articles taken directly from Wikipedia, and {{wikipedia-deleted}} for articles deleted from Wikipedia.

Templates for use in articles[]

Infoboxes[]

Infobox templates display an infobox at the start of an article. To see a complete list of infobox templates and acceptable parameters, see Category: Infobox templates.

Spoiler warnings[]

{{Webcomic}}

  • Add this template to the start of an article that mainly consists of webcomic spoilers.

{{Webcomictext}}

  • This template displays spoiler warning text to head collapsible spoiler elements.

{{Char}} and {{Org}}

  • These templates are for use in icon list tables.

Navigation boxes[]

Navigation boxes at the bottom of pages allow for easy navigation to other related pages in this wiki. To see a list of navigation box templates, see Category:Navboxes.

Where you may find more templates[]

  • Wikia Templates
  • Wikipedia; may be copied with the proper acknowledgment, but some need tweaking to work properly on Wikia, so use a Wikia one if possible.

Questions?[]

Please discuss them to an administrator, either by leaving a message on his/her message wall, on a policy talk page, or on a forum. We all recommend signing up, and comments from random IP addresses are of less priority. Furthermore, comments from better received and more active users will be taken more seriously than comments from less active users.
