Usage

This template combines several talk page banners (generally two or more) into a nested shell. It is designed to contain WikiEd course/assignment banners and will only work reliably with such templates.

The first (unnamed) parameter is required, either as | or |1=, after which the WikiEd banners are listed.

Basic syntax

{{WikiEd banner shell|
 {{FirstWikiEdBanner}}
 {{SecondWikiEdBanner}}
 ...
}}

All parameters

{{WikiEd banner shell |collapse=yes |
 {{FirstWikiEdBanner}}
 {{SecondWikiEdBanner}}
 ...
}}

Optional parameter

  • By default, the template collapses display of the banners (also explicitly specifiable with |collapse=yes), since the purpose of it is to save space at the top of the talk page. Adding |collapse=no (or any other typical negative value like false, 0, or off) will cause the outer table to be be un-collapsed, showing all the banners. This is generally undesirable except on a page where a WikiEd activity is currently ongoing. These banners are generally not otherwise of any immediate interest either for experienced editors or for readers coming to the talk page to raise an issue. Reduction of top-of-talk-page clutter is the very reason for the existence of this and similar banner wrappers.
