Guide:Game Making Tools Wiki/Templates

Templates are small pages that can be inserted into other pages. They can be handy syntax shortcuts, can be used to fill gaps in the Wikitext syntax, and are useful for any elements that will be used on multiple pages.

This page summarises this wiki's templates. You can go to their individual pages for more information.

If you have ideas for more you're welcome to experiment, or open a discussion on the talk page.

Templates

Block Quote

※ Template:blockquote

For in-line quotes the <q> element should suffice, but for blockquotes you should use the blockquote template:—

{{blockquote|quote|source}}

—where you replace 'quote' with the text you're quoting, and 'source' with the name and location (URL, etc.) of the source.

Jargon

※ Template:jargon.

For inserting jargon terms. Will link them to their entry in the Glossary.

{{jargon|link|term}}

—where you replace 'link' with the way the term appears in the glossary (it's case sensitive, so capitalisation is required), and 'term' with the word as you want it to appear on the page.

Nota Bene

※ Template:nb.

For inserting notes that need to stand-out a bit.

{{nb|note}}

—where you replace 'note' with the note you wish to highlight.
