Vorlage:Asbox/Doku

This is the asbox or article stub box meta template. It is the standard template used for creating new or updating existing article stub box templates. It supports most, if not all, stub template styles.

Basic usage

{{asbox
| image     = just the name of the image, e.g. Image.png - will be sized at 40x30px
| subject   = given before "article", e.g. "this *biographical* article is a stub"
| qualifier = given after "article" e.g. "this article *about a musician* is a stub"
| category  = just the name of the category to place tagged pages in, e.g. History stubs
| name      = the full name of the stub template itself, used to reference itself internally
}}

This simple usage should suffice for a great many stub templates. Additional parameters are described below for advanced use.

| image     = Ambox style.png

Examples

Using image

Based on {{Østfold-geo-stub}}:

{{Asbox
 | image     = Østfold_våpen.svg
 | pix       = 30
 | subject   = [[Østfold]] location
 | category  = Østfold geography stubs
 | tempsort  = *
 | name      = Template:Østfold-geo-stub
}}

appears as:

Using icon and category1

Using icon allows more flexibility in some circumstances than image and pix, since it can be used with templates. Based on {{Wales-footy-bio-stub}}:

{{asbox
| icon      = {{Soccer icon|Wales|50}}
| subject   = biographical
| qualifier = related to Welsh association football
| category  = Welsh football biography stubs
| tempsort  = * 
| name      = Template:Wales-footy-bio-stub
}}

Whatlinkshere

The page here should have a complete list of all templates using this template. This list can be compared with existing list of stub templates to identify new stub templates created out of process. The last entries will also be the most recently created items.

Navbar

This template contains:

{{navbar|{{{name}}}|mini=yes|style=position:absolute; right:15px; font-size:smaller; display:none;}}

allowing a user to specify with css that three links regarding the stub template are shown (see [1]). A side effect is that a non-existing talk page of the stub template may show up on Special:WantedPages.
