User:N8wilson/Pin FAQ
 | This page is still in development and very likely to change. Questions or comments can be directed to User_talk:N8wilson. Until the content has been moved out of userspace, please do not use this content on other pages. |
Todo:
- Determine if {{DNAU}} is necessary (presumably required if bots process parsed content rather than sourced database content).
Usage
[edit]Just put {{pin FAQ}} at the top of a talk page to include content from the /FAQ subpage of the same talk page.
This template generates a new section so it can be seen on the mobile interface. To avoid being confused for an on-going discussion, the template removes and replaces edit or reply links for the section with more appropriate messaging. This template should not be used with the old-style {{FAQ row}} templates; it is designed to work with a newer FAQ system. See {{new FAQ}} for details about converting to the new system.
New FAQ Plan
[edit]This template is part of a new system of templates for handling frequently asked questions (FAQs) on talk pages. The goals of this new system are:
- Make FAQs visible in mobile views for reading. (FAQ editing on mobile is neither included nor excluded as a possibility.)
- Allow editors to include the text of a single question+answer within an active discussion for reference.
These are the planned system of templates:
- {{FAQ item}} - Structured record of consensus on a frequently asked question or frequently discussed topic.
- {{subst:new FAQ}} - Create a new {{FAQ item}}. Also used as a drop-in replacement to convert older {{FAQ row}}s.
- {{pin FAQ}} - Placed at the top of a talk-space page to pin the FAQ to the top of the discussion area.
- {{see FAQ|x}} - Includes text of a specific question and answer in a discussion.
