This template is used to create a list of frequently asked questions with collapsed answers.

Usage

  • |heading=no; if set to no, then the edit link, question mark image and header text are supressed; this is useful when stacking multiple templates
  • |title=title text; defaults to Frequently Asked Questions
  • |header=header text; defaults as shown above
  • |q1=question 1
thru
|q20=question 20
  • |a1=answer 1
thru
|a20=answer 20

Creating the FAQ page

The best practice is to create the FAQ as a subpage of an article talk page, such as Talk:Foo/FAQ. The subpage can be created and preloaded by:

  • Edit the main talk page or any section
  • Insert {{FAQ2/c}} anywhere
  • Click on Preview
  • Click on Create FAQ
  • The FAQ subpage will open in edit mode with the preloaded template
  • Fill in the template and Save
  • Browse back to the main talk page and include the FAQ by adding {{/FAQ}}

If the /FAQ page already exists, it will be opened for editing but not preloaded. The preload code at Template:FAQ2/Preload can be copied and pasted as needed.

Examples

Simple FAQ
{{FAQ2
|q1=Question 1
|a1=Answer 1
|q2=Question 2
|a2=Answer 2
}}

|title=First set of questions
|q1=Question 1
|a1=Answer 1
|q2=Question 2
|a2=Answer 2
