Usage
Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse
To set this template's initial visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
|state=collapsed
: {{Wikipedia technical help|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar|state=expanded
: {{Wikipedia technical help|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible|state=autocollapse
: {{Wikipedia technical help|state=autocollapse}}- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbar}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page
If the |state=
parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default=
parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse
.
Purpose
This is a navbox of the main technical help pages on English Wikipedia.
It doesn't list them all as there are too many, but these should be the most helpful ones of a technical nature.
Additional help
Some of the links are also on the {{Wikipedia help pages}} navbox. Other helpful navboxes for technical matters include:
- {{Wikipedia template messages}} for an index of templates
- {{Wikipedia referencing}} for referencing templates
- {{Botnav}} for bot page navigation
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility/Navigation menu for accessibility
- Wikipedia:User scripts/Navbox for user scripts
Also, look at template documentation (such as Template:Navbox/doc), the text of which should also be found in a green section on the template page itself (which for the previous example would be Template:Navbox).
Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates is a good comparative overview, and helpful categories themselves include:
- Category:Wikipedia help and its subcategories such as Category:Wikipedia how-to, Category:Wikipedia image help, Category:Wikipedia interface help, and Category:Wikipedia link help
- Category:Wikipedia information pages
