This template creates a page banner that you can include on portal pages, for example. You can see an example here in the Helpdesk on the topic pages, e.g, quality assurance.

Importing the template

The import file is included in the archive file HW-transclusion-en.zip. Unpack the zip file first.

On the page Special:Import follow these steps:

  1. Select file and choose HW-transclusion-en.xml.
  2. Enter an Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required, simply add hw (for hallowelt).
  3. Keep the selection Import to default locations.
  4. Click Upload file... .

The template is now available in your wiki.

Pages included in the import

The xml import creates the following files in your wiki:

  • Template:Transclusion
  • Template:Transclusion/styles.css

Using the template

  1. Add the template from the VisualEditor insert-dialog.
  2. Fill in the form fields as needed.
Note:If, after importin the template to your wiki, the input fields are not displayed when you first integrate it into a wiki page, you need to open the template in the template namespace, make a change (e.g. insert spaces) and save the template. The input fields should now be displayed correctly.
