List of Templates | List of Geological timescale templates | The basic taxon template | List of taxon templates



The following is a (still incomplete) list of templates that we have made for Palaeos org. Eventually every main subject will have its own template. To use a template on a page, just include the name in curly brackets.

All the templates used on a page can be accessed by clicking the edit tab for that page, then scrolling down to beneath the edit screen. There will be - right at the bottom of the page, alist of hyperlinked templates. Click on any to go to that template, and if you want to edit it select the edit tab on the template page.

List of templates:

Root pages

Fields of science:

Geological timescale:

See the Geological timescale templates page for links to all the geological timescale templates.

See the Timescale color templates page for (Palaeos.org) standardized setting of time segment colors.

Systematics:

Phylogenetic taxa (taxon templates):

See the List of taxon templates page for links to templates pertaining to specific taxa.

Chemistry and physics

See the Chemical templates page for links to templates pertaining to chemistry.

Text formating

  • Template:info {{info|long descriptive text|short text}} for text with a mouse-over popup text: point mouse onto this text!
  • Template:abstract {{abstract|very very long abstract text}} for initial bigger text
Template:sub textsubscripted texttext text{{sub|subscripted text}}text
Template:sup textsuperscripted texttext text{{sup|superscripted text}}text

Image layout

Page layout:

  • {{parent}} - goes at top of page, just above parent taxon template, introduced that template.
  • {{parentbasic}} - the same, but for a general menu rather than a phylogenetic taxon
  • {{child}} - goes at middle or near the end of the main text of page, just above the template for the taxon the page is named for, and which contains the subtopics. Briefly introduces that template.
  • {{childbasic}} - the same, but for a general menu rather than a phylogenetic taxon

Credits and acknowledgments:

Discussion, stubs etc.:

  • {{stub}} - for pages needing (more) text, graphics, or anything else, for stubby pages in general
  • {{inaccurate}} - for pages needing fact content discussion,
  • {{format}} - for pages needing formating, niceifications, images, bells and whistles,
  • {{placeholder}} - for pages that are still only placeholders, and need to have material added
  • {{addgraphic}} - place this where a centered graphic should go
  • {{addtext}} - for pages needing (more) text. Add this where the text should go (or anywhere on the page).
  • {{wikify}} - for pages needing to be wikified; that is, they need to have links, subheadings, etc added. Add this at the top of the page but under the parent menus.
  • {{wikifytree}} - for phylogenetic trees that need to be wikified; that is, the various taxa listed in this tree needs to have a [[wikilink]] added. Add this just above the tree in question.
  • {{addmorereferences}} - for reference sections that still have an incomplete listing of references. Add this immediately under the "References" subheading.
  • {{palaeos_com|href|link text}} - for reference sections that still have an incomplete listing of references. Add this immediately under the "References" subheading.

Experiments

As yet unused templates for Palaeos community evaluation. Also an area for technical experiments easing the development and support of Palaeos.

Using templates

Generally, the template for the parent page (the one in which the page is listed a sone of the topics or taxa) should go at the top of the page, and the template with the same name as that page (hence listing all the daughter topics) should go near the bottom, but before notes, links, references, credits etc. But if this doesn't feel right, feel free to experiment.
