Welcome to the Help Pages

Templates are called by encasing the template name in two curly brackets. For example the template 'toplink' is called by writing {{toplink}}. Some templates simply call predefined images or text, while others accept variables to create advanced wiki pages without the requirement for extensive knowledge by the end user.

Below is a list of templates that are of use to the average WikiVet author. The pages below page describe the templates function, how it is used on WikiVet and an example.

-Templates are a command used whilst editing a page that results in a predetermined box/graphic on the final article. Below are discussed the main templates that are used throughout WikiVet.

-===Toplink===
+[[Help:Merge|Merge]]
-The toplink is the coloured bar at the top of every page that is used throughout the wiki as a navigational tool. The following link describes how to use it; [[Template:Toplink|toplink]]. For an explanation of its deployment across the wiki see [[Help:Toplink Deployment|here]].

-===Under Construction===
+</b></big>|logo =help-logo.png}}
-The under-construction template is the next most important template. This is the first thing that should be written on a newly created page to show that page is still under construction.
-If you type <nowiki>{{unfinished}}</nowiki>
-The following will appear on the final page:
-{{unfinished}}
-Once a page has been finished the under construction sign needs to be replaced with a review sign. This indicates to wiki users and admin that the article is finished but has not yet been peer-reviewed.
-To create it type <nowiki>{{review}}</nowiki>
-The following will appear on the final page:
-{{review}}
-The final template that is used is one that the admin will use to show that the article has been reviewed but just needs some images uploaded to the page. This appears as:
-{{no pics}}
-===Clinical Pages Templates===
-When making a page on the clinical section of the wiki, it is important to flag up graphically what species you are dealing this. Hence we have developed some templates which will put up the section logo in the top right hand corner of the page. Below we show what to type in to create each image:
-  <nowiki>{{dog}}</nowiki> results in: {{dog}}
-  <nowiki>{{cat}}</nowiki> results in: {{cat}}
-  <nowiki>{{horse}}</nowiki> results in: {{horse}}
-  <nowiki>{{cow}}</nowiki> results in: {{cow}}
-  <nowiki>{{pig}}</nowiki> results in: {{pig}}
-  <nowiki>{{sheep}}</nowiki> results in: {{sheep}}
-  <nowiki>{{camelid}}</nowiki> results in: {{camelid}}
-  <nowiki>{{lizard}}</nowiki> results in: {{lizard}}
-  <nowiki>{{chicken}}</nowiki> results in: {{chicken}}
