Global Template Users Guide  

Remember that the wiki does not care about case when referring to a page or template name, so although the following shows the names properly cased the wiki does not care if you use proper case, all lower case, or even all upper case when calling a template!

If Bludwyng has missed any, they should all be in Category:Global Templates

Generic Wikibase Templates

  • AdminNeeded - Used to call the attention of an Admin to the page, usually to address a conflict or to update database links.
  • DBError - A more specific template to draw an admins attention to a Wikibase page that needs a correction to the database.
  • Merge - Tags pages that need to be merged with another page.
  • Stub - Marks the page as a Stub in need of some loving!
  • OoC - Out of Character. Use this for notes that reference real-world things that relate to the in-game information. This can be the title of a movie or song that a quest name is a reference to, or links to Wikipedia for notes on real-world mythology for things such as Dragons or Unicorns.
  • Trivia - You might use this to link an EQ2 page to the EQ1 lore it came from.
  • Typo - Use this to note something that is misspelled in game, to show that we KNOW it is misspeled but we have to keep it this way.
  • DevQuote - This is for direct quotes from a game dev that are relevant to the subject. An excellent example is Filling the Bottomless Belly.
  • Wikify - put this on a page if you don't know how to fully wikify it, so that a more knowledgeable editor will come along and clean up your information.
  • BigThumb - Displays a thumbnail image but with total control over size, position, and caption (Default:250px, right, no caption), and with a link to view fullsize.
  • WIP - Work-in-Progress. Use this to display a box at the top of a page you are working on, asking other editors to refrain from making changes until you are done.
  • Clear - Clears all page formatting to that point. Can be used to force a break between one section and another, making the pieces start lining up again. Very helpful when images start stacking on each other.

Game Tags

The following templates are for tagging a non-db page with one more more game categories so that the search engine will know what game(s) they belong to.

Global Quest Templates

  • LangReq - Displays a message that this quest requires a given language to start or complete.
  • series - Navigation Bar for a quest series. Provides links to the previous and next quests in a series, and to the Quest Series page.
  • NavBar - Called by series to display the actual box, provided here in case you need to create a navigation bar that is not a quest series, or is for a game that does not have DB namespaces.

Miscellaneous

  • Raid - Right-floated info box with basic stats about a raid. Can be used on a Zone or Quest page, or a standalone page.
  • Instanced - Very similar to Raid, this displays zone level, intended party size, and info about any lockout timers.
  • MobTitle - This just displays the single parameter in bold text and inside <>'s for use on mob pages to display the title under the mob's name.
  • Beta - Displays a right-float box explaining that the information on this page was gathered during Beta and should not be considered authoritative until confirmed in the Live game.
