| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Help desk searches. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{Help desk searches}} is a navigation template that links to several {{Google custom}} searches that enable Help desk volunteers to answer questions on the Help desk. The template may also be useful to anyone who edits Wikipedia and wants to look up help pages, guidelines, and instructions from various locations.
The template is suitable for adding to at least these locations:
- Help desk instructions pages, such as Wikipedia:Help desk/How to answer
- user pages of Help desk volunteers.
The template takes no parameters. To add it to a page, use the code:
{{Help desk searches}}
Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse
To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
|state=collapsed:{{Help desk searches|state=collapsed}}to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar|state=expanded:{{Help desk searches|state=expanded}}to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible|state=autocollapse:{{Help desk searches|state=autocollapse}}
If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse.
Do not use in articles
| Do not use this template in articles (as Google search links are not appropriate in articles). The template is only for user pages, talk pages and other process pages (Help desk, WikiProjects, etc.). |
