This template creates an employees gallery that you can include on portal pages, for example.

Importing the template

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

On the page Special:Import follow these steps:

1. Select file and choose HW-Employee.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:Employee
• Template:Employee/styles.css

Creating the employee gallery

You can add each individual employee card as a template. Alternatively, you can add a "batch" of employees directly in the source mode of the page.

1. From the Visual Editor Insert > Template menu, add the template "Employee".
   

   Select the Employee template
2. Provide the necessary information in the parameter fields.

Adding a "batch" of employees

To speed up the process, you can quickly add the template multiple times directly in the source editing mode. This also allows you to add a colored grey wrapper around the gallery:

<div style="background:#e9e9ee">
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
{{Employee|title=Title|image=|name=Employee name|department=Department|username=}}
</div>

Available parameters

	Element	Value	Description
1	title	text	Job title
2	image	file name (without naemspace prefix)	Name of the uploaded user image (e.g.: lastnamefirstname.png). If left empty, the template looks for the profile image of the user.
3	name	text	Name of the employee
4	department	text	Department of the employee
5	username	username (without namespace prefix)	If the user exists in the wiki and the user name is provided, the employee card links to the user's profile page.
6	employeepage	name of a wiki page	If the employee does not exist as user, an employee page can be created anywhere in the wiki. If a page name is provided here, the employee card links to that page.
