Does anyone know a step by step on how to add a template to a page please? I've tried and all I'm doing is messing up. Oh rats, I think I put this in the wrong category. --LadyVader (talk) 14:50, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
- Moved to Senate Hall. Depends on what template you're trying to add. In general, the template code is this:
{{templatename}}
So if I wanted to place the {{Force Exile}} template on this page, I would put in this code:
{{ForceExile}}
To generate this result:
| Force Exile Series | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note that some templates (such as {{Quote}}) have additional fields that need populated, such as
{{Quote|Come have some cake.|GlaDOS}}
Come have some cake.
—GlaDOS
You can usually find a description of what fields are necessary on the template page (go look at {{Quote}} if that's the template you're looking at, for example).
Otherwise, it depends on what you template you want. Infoboxes are a bit different. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 17:23, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! I'm wondering: What would someone do if they don't know or can't find the original source of an image? Would they just tag it with a copyrighted screenshot/fair use template? I found some good images, but I don't know their sources. --LadyVader (talk) 13:37, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
