This template creates a link that is styled as a button. It can be inserted into a wiki page via the VisualEditor Insert > Template menu.
Importing the template
The import file is included in the archive file HW-ButtonLink.zip. Unpack the zip file first.
On the page Special:Import follow these steps:
- Select file and choose HW-ButtonLink.xml.
- Enter an Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required, simply add hw (for hallowelt).
- Keep the selection Import to default locations.
- Click Upload file... .
The template is now available in your wiki.
Important!The input fields for the template parameters are usually not automatically available after importing the template to your wiki . You have to open the imported template file and make an edit (e.g., add a space and then save the page) to activate the template data functionality. The input fields should now be displayed correctly when you use the template on a page.
