Fallout Wiki:Templates

Here's a handy list of all templates available for use in articles. Simply place the text listed under "How to insert" in the appropriate place.

Some templates use parameters (seperated by | from the template name and each other). If the template has parameters, do not forget to specify those as well.

Article creation

These templates should be inserted at the top of every article.

Name of template	what it is used for	how to insert	options	link to template
Game/source	Marking which Fallout game(s) the information in an article comes from or relates to.	{{Games|game1|game2|game|etc}}	see Template:Games	Template:Games

Article management

	Example: Article management template This is an example for the look of an article management template.

These templates are used if you notice that something is out of order with a certain article or section and want to bring it to the attention of other editors or administrators.

They should generally be placed at the very top of an article, the exception being the Stub template which should be at the bottom of a page.

These templates automatically place a page in the appropriate maintenance Kategori (usually named like the Template itself, e.g. Kategori:Stub for the Stub template).

Source templates

	The following is based on Example and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

These templates are to be inserted into articles (or sections) where it is important to make the reader aware of the presented information's source. Usually this means that the info comes from cut content, its canonicity is disputed or that it is a spoiler (note however that only information relating to upcoming games or add-ons should be spoiler-tagged).

Source templates are generally added to the top of an article, just below the infobox (if there is any).

Name of template	when to use it	how to insert
Fallout design documents	if information originates from early Fallout (1) design documents and contradicts the final game	{{FO1concept}}
Fallout 3 cut content	if the information is based on cut content of Fallout 3	{{FO3CC}}

Infobox templates

The Vault character Vault sysop race: Ghoul location: The Vault's Wasteland appearances: The Vault quests: Editing pages

Infobox templates have the function to present basic facts about the article in a consistent way. They are to be placed at the top of an article. Infobox templates are used in a slightly different way then most templates, as they are called using parameters. Each stat template has different parameters which need to be defined when calling it. Find the template you need from the list below and refer to the template's page to see what parameters are required. If there are multiple templates of a certain type, use the most specific one.

Please note: If multiple infobox templates are added to an article they may sometimes sit next to each other rather than one below the other. To fix this, add {{clear}} between the two templates.

The table is sortable; just click on one of the symbols in the table header row to order the content according to your preferences.

Navboxes

Navboxes are used to ease navigation between a certain group of articles.

They should be inserted in all articles of that group at the very bottom of an article, just above the categories. Exception to this rule are sidebars, these should inserted close to the top of an article.

For existing navboxes, see Kategori:Navbox templates.
