Template:Banner holder

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

To group multiple banners, such as merge histories, into a box, and optionally collapse them into one banner to save vertical space.

Basic syntax

{{Banner holder |1=
  {{First banner}}
  {{Second banner}}
  {{Third banner}}
...
}}

All parameters

{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=Some text here |image=someicon.jpog |size=48 |1=
  {{First banner}}
  {{Second banner}}
  {{Third banner}}
...
}}

The |1= at the end of the first line is not optional and must be included.

Optional parameters

1. Adding |collapsed=yes will cause the outer table to be collapsed, hiding the banners. Adding |collapsed=no (the default) will cause the outer table not to be collapsed, showing the banners.
2. Adding |text=some string... will cause the collapse bar title to be altered to some string. If left blank or not used, the default string is Other talkpage banners..
3. Adding |image=file name (not including the 'Image:' or 'File' prefix) changes the puzzle piece to the specified image.
4. Adding |size=number changes the size of the image icon to the number of pixels specified.

Examples

This example shows a banner holder grouping multiple {{Copied}} and {{Translated page}} templates, with an altered image icon:

{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=This page contains text [[WP:CWW|copied]] or [[WP:TFOLWP|translated]] from other articles |image=Merge-arrow-3.svg |size=36 |1=
  {{Copied |from=SRC |from_oldid=rev |to=DEST |to_diff=dest-rev |to_oldid=prev-rev |date=DATE}}
  {{translated page|de|ICE 1|version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}}}}
}}

and generates:

Choosing banners to collapse

The choice of which banners to collapse is left up to editors' discretion. Some banners have dedicated collapse headers, such as:

• WikiProjects  – {{WikiProject banner shell}}
• Wiki Education assignments – {{WikiEd banner shell}}
• Redirect categories – {{Redirect category shell}}
• Translate attribution templates – {{Translation attribution shell}}
• {{On this day}} templates – self-collapsing
