Misc Syntax

  • use: {{subst:PAGENAME}} instead of {{PAGENAME}}
  • If "the infobox box" winds up on left -- check the value of "disambigpage" = actual page name. Best to use |disambigpage = {{Subst:PAGENAME}}
  • {{Reward | Item name | amount}}
  • Syntax for color and font size:
  • This: {{Color|orange| done) }} produces this: done)
  • So does this: {{TextColor|done)|orange}} produces this: TextColor|done)|orange
  • <div style="font-size:150%"> <span style="color:red">'''Volume III: Book II: Ride of the Grey Company'''</span> </div>
Volume III: Book II: Ride of the Grey Company
  • <span style="font-size:125%">'''Volume III: Book II: Ride of the Grey Company'''</span>
Volume III: Book II: Ride of the Grey Company

Signature

Standard signature as used on Preferences page for ~~~~ insertion --

A couple of signatures full of markup from Media-wiki talk pages.

  • — A. di M.  <span style="background:#00ae00;white-space:nowrap;color:black;font:600 1em 'Gentium Book Basic', serif">— A. di M.</span>]]

Assorted talk page boxes and graphics

Some interesting ideas From: Help:Using talk pages

Quotations

Sometimes it is necessary to display a sentence or paragraph from the article on the talk page so that other editors can easily understand what is being discussed.

The following template was never implemented on LOTRO wiki, but comes from the main Wiki site. : An easy way to do this is to use the {{tl|Quotation}} or {{tl|Quote}} templates. Write <tt><nowiki>{{quotation|Quoted passage from the article.}} to produce Template:Quotation</nowiki>

{{Quotation|quoted text| Who said it| Source}}    (Creates the above box.)
{{Quote|quoted text| Who said it| Source, page ___}}    (Indented with no box, make Source in italics.)
{{Quote|quoted text| Source, page __}}    (Indented with no box.)

References

  • Instead, use <ref> ...</noref> and <References/>

Citations

See: Help:Citation

Boxes – general

Plain box (can also be used in article):

<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="attention" style="background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 2.5%; padding: 0 10px; border: 1px solid #aaa;">'''Put material here.'''</div>


  • Colored box (green – talk page only):

<div class="boilerplate" style="background-color: #efe; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px dotted #aaa;">'''Put copied and pasted quoted text from article here.'''</div>

  • Make a <pre> box wrap text
  • <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; color:red;"> 
This long sentence is used to demonstrate text wrapping. This additional sentence makes the text even longer. And so does this additional sentence -- make the text even longer still. Son of bugbear -- I've been looking for how to do this for ages!!!

Talk page graphics:

Note: not implemented on lotro-wiki!

Encoding

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:URL

As best I can see, only these characters require encoding:

sp ! " , ' ; < > ? [ ]
%20 %21 %22 %2c %3a %3b %3c %3e %3f %5b %5d

For example, contrary to documentation, the caret does not need encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/^

The apostrophe really applies to sequential use, as it gets parsed as wikimarkup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12345

The pipe automatically gets encoded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%7C


Partial (selective) transcludes

Source Document:
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|SECTIONNAME}}}|SECTIONNAME|
End each such transcludable section with:
}}</onlyinclude>
Destination document:
{{PAGENAME|transcludesection=SECTIONNAME}}
<noinclude>, <onlyinclude>, and <includeonly> are tags in the wiki software that let us control what information gets copied. In the case of The Shire, most of the article is between <noinclude> and </noinclude> tags, meaning that all of that information won't get copied into Eriador, just the introductory paragraph.

From Sethladan

noinclude/includeonly/onlyinclude definitions This page contains various notes, both for my own use and in preparation for compiling a more thorough guide to wiki editing on Lotro-Wiki. The information here may or may not make sense to anyone but me! No promises that anything will actually work as written.

Transclusion

  • noinclude: The content is displayed on the original page only but not transcluded to other pages.
  • includeonly: The content is not displayed on the original page, but is transcluded to other pages.
  • onlyinclude: This is the complicated one - if a page contains onlyinclude, then ONLY content within those tags is considered for transclusion (although multiple sets of onlyinclude will all be considered). Content inside onlyinclude will still appear on the main page.

Thus: noinclude and includeonly are mutually exclusive, while onlyinclude limits what can be transcluded.

<table height=11px><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black; font-size:60%">HELLO WORLD</td></tr></table>

To create a box (table) to outline a quote use:
style="border: 1px solid black;"
  • For boxing quotes use:
:{| style="border: 1px solid black;"

<div style=" display:block; height:150px; overflow:auto; border: 1px dashed gray; padding: 10px 5px 50px 10px;">

To make a box of text, surrounded by a dotted line, with a scroll bar use the html division code above. Don't forget </dev> at the end of the text.
