| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Intro to. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Script error: No such module "Uses TemplateStyles".
Usage
This is a general purpose template for the "Introduction to x" tutorial series. Using this template ensures consistent formatting for all pages in the series. Similarly, editing this template controls the formatting of all pages in the series. On a mobile device this page reflows to place the tabs bar above the contents.
{{Intro to
|contents = main content of tutorial page
|exercise = a worked example displayed as a collapsed template at the bottom of the page
}}
Additional requirements
In order to function, the template looks for the presence of certain subpages:
/#: Each page in the series should be saved as a numbered subpage, e.g.Help:Introduction_to_x/1. The template automatically links to the next numbered subpage. If the next numbered subpage doesn't exist, it links back to Help:Getting started/tabs: You must also create a/tabspage to contain the information for the left hand tab bar (See Template:Intro to/tabs for details)/base: You may additionally create a/basepage to contain a consistent bottom section to be shown on all pages in the series (See Template:Intro to/base for details)
Tables
Due to technical limitations, tables have to be written in a separate page (usually a /table subpage) and transcluded into the template.
For example: Help:Introduction_to_talk_pages/3 transcludes Help:Introduction_to_talk_pages/3/table 1
