Tutorial: Templates
Templates are a quick way to put a preformatted piece of wiki code into any wiki page. There are several templates available in this wiki and you can create your own if you want to. You can find a list of the most-used templates.
Example usage
This page describes how to use some of these templates.
Former employee
This is an infobox that you can put at the beginning of a user's page after they have left the institute.
It is one of the easier templates to use. You just enter
{{Dead Box}}in the wiki code. Beware that template names are case-sensitive! The preview of this box looks like this:
Bitte beachten: Dieser Benutzer ist nicht mehr am IMT angestellt.
This user no longer works at IMT.
Side note: We are somewhat sorry for the name of this template. It was picked a while ago and it is now impractical to change it.
Outdated device
For devices that no longer exist you can do the same as for emplyees:
{{Dead Device}}
This will create a box like this:
Bitte beachten: Dieses Gerät ist nicht mehr am IMT verfügbar.
This device is no longer available at IMT.
Keywords
You can add keywords or search terms (german: Suchbegriffe) to any page. This facilitates finding the page with the search function. To add keywords that don't appear in the page's content but might prove useful, add a box at the end of your page like this:
{{suchbegriffe|keyword1, keyword2, ...}}
This will create a box like this:
| keywords |
|---|
| keyword1, keyword2, ... |
Infobox Arbeitsanweisung
This infobox is only inteded for usage on Arbeitsanweisungen pages. You have to supply AA and revision number as well as a date and editor name:
{{Infobox AA|aa=123|revision=01|stand=02.11.2017|bearbeiter=Mustermensch}}
This creates a box loke this:
| Arbeitsanweisung | 123 |
|---|---|
| Revision | 01 |
| Stand | 02.11.2017 |
| Bearbeiter | Mustermensch |
Note that it is automatically right-aligned and text floats around it. It is intended to be used at the beginning of the page.
