Template:Fix

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This meta-template can be used to create in-line tags with clean up messages which can be used to tag article issues on a line-by-line basis. Many templates are based upon it, like {{Citation needed}}.

It should not be used directly on articles by itself — instead, use one of the pre-existing derivatives if at all possible. Should there be no suitable derivative already, new ones can be created using the syntax that follows:

Usage

{{Fix
| subst     = <includeonly>{{subst:substcheck}}</includeonly>
| link      = <!-- Page which text should link to, without brackets --> (default = BattleTechWiki:Cleanup)
| text      = <!-- Text to be displayed for the link -->
| pre-text  = <!-- Optional text to print before the linked text -->
| post-text = <!-- Optional text to print after the linked text -->
| class     = <!-- Class(es) to set text to --> (in addition to the default ones, "noprint" and "Inline-Template")
| title     = <!-- Tool-tip text to display when mouse is hovered over link -->
| special   = <!-- Optional replacement for text, link, title, pre-text, and post-text - allowing user to define a non-standard format -->
| date      = <!-- Optional date parameter to be displayed at end of 'title' and/or in cat-date -->
| cat       = [[<!-- Category name to include page in -->]]
| cat-date  = <!-- First part of category name to include page in; there is an optional date parameter -->
}}

Categories are ignored if the template is used on a talk page or on any other non-article page.

• The value specified via |cat= must be in wikicode, including square brackets.
• The value specified via |cat-date= is used as part of a category name. It must be specified without square brackets, but with a "Category:" prefix. The full category name is obtained from the cat-date value, the word "from", and the date value.

  The |date= parameter is not normally pre-filled by any template using {{Fix}} or {{Fix-span}} as a meta-template; rather, it is coded in those derived templates as |date={{{date|}}} so that an editor provided date is passed through (or null, otherwise).
