Template:Footer Infobox/doc
This is a template documentation subpage for Template:Footer Infobox. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used on 200+ pages. Please, avoid large scale disruption and edit with extra care. |
This template must be invoked on the bottom of every article, which is a game object. This generally refers to any article, which starts with the usage of any of the Infobox templates.
In other words, all items, machines, etc. must contain this at their footer.
Such a structure allows to mass-edit important (but uniform) parts of articles, without the need of manually editing each of them one by one.
Examples of what this template automatically takes care of:
- Paragraphs related to usage within trading system (this is planned, not constructed yet).
- Recipe fetching and drawing (see Template:Recipe fetch and Template:Recipe draw).
- Footer navigation boxes.
- Technical checks (example Template:Footer Cargo).
Undergoing mass edit
Currently, we are in a process of transitioning to this template. Work is not finished.
If you are willing to help to transition to this template from the old article structure, please use this general guideline:
- If an article you are editing contains ==Recipes== header, it must be deleted.
- If an article you are editing contains {{Recipe define}} calls, line breaks between them must be deleted (watch Assembly (Manual) as an example).
- If an article you are editing contains {{Recipe fetch}} call/calls, they must be deleted.
- If an article you are editing contains {{Footer Cargo}} call, it must be deleted.
- If an article you are editing contains {{Navbox/Machines}} call, it must be deleted.
- THIS template call must be invoked at the bottom of the article instead. It will replace and extend all the above functionality.
- Save your edit as a minor, reason should be "Footer Infobox".
- Purge page cache (optional).
Use Assembly (Manual) and Oxygen articles as an already edited example.
