| This page is an FAQ about the corresponding page Template:FAQ page. It provides responses for certain topics repeatedly brought up on the talk page. Providing similar answers each time a topic is brought up uses up many editors' time and energy. The FAQ addresses these common concerns, criticisms, and arguments, and answers various misconceptions behind them. These FAQ answers reflect the decisions found in the talk page archives. Please feel free to change them in light of new discussion. |
This page-top banner template is for Wikipedia-internal FAQ pages.
Usage
For a stand-alone FAQ page: {{FAQ page}}
For such a page with shortcuts: {{FAQ page|WP:SC1|WP:SC2}}
For a FAQ that is intended to be transcluded into another page: <noinclude>{{FAQ page}}</noinclude> (this will suppress display of this banner in the transcluding page, but preserve it and its auto-categorization on the FAQ's own page).
This template categorizes pages into one of the following categories, depending on the namespace the template is used in:
- Category:Wikipedia article FAQs (when used in the "Talk" namespaces)
- Category:Wikipedia FAQs (which used in the "Wikipedia", "Wikipedia talk", "Help", "Help talk", and many other functional namespaces and their talk sub-namespaces)
- Category:User essays (when used in the "User" or "User talk" namespaces)
It will not be categorized at all if mistakenly put into a namespace that should not contain such a page, e.g. the main (article) namespace, "Module", "File", "Mediawiki", and some others. It might be best if the template threw a big red error in such a case, but it is not presently coded to do so.
