Templates used on this site

This is a list of templates we use for MediaWiki. They can generally be accessed through this website (http://laussy.org) by entering Template:NameOfTemplate as the last part of the URL.

Arguments are passed to template with {{{1}}} (2, 3, etc. for several arguments).

List

anchor

{{anchor|anchorforanchor}} Puts an anchor to refer to this spot. One can then refer to [[#anchorforanchor|the anchor]] the anchor like this within the same page or [[Blog:Sandbox/buggy#anchorforanchor|for another page]] for another page.

arXiv

arXiv:2402.14010 {{arXiv|2402.14010}} gives a link to an arXiv reference. Ideally it should retrieve meta-data, but that is for later.

cite

A cite template to quote in a way similar as you would do with $\mathrm{\TeX}$ and bibTeX is described in this blog post. Can also be done inline with {{onelinecite|delvalle12a}}.

contactme

Puts whatever should read when I need someone to contact me:

{{contactme}}

doi

{{doi}} displays the DOI passed as an argument with a link to the resource itself, e.g., {{doi|10.1002/pssc.200304064}} produces [DOI: 10.1002/pssc.200304064].

done

{{done}} puts a little "checked" marker, like this, while {{done|that was great!}} adds a wz-tooltipthat was great!. Or severalreally great!and as many as we wantquite cool.

gpx

Offers to "Download the gpx file for this track." {{gpx|Media:AbedularCanencia-27Oct2013.gpx}}

Grok

This one is funny as it's one I made with Grok itself (although it couldn't do it wholly by itself):

{{#vardefine:HumanUserIs|Fabrice}}

Pass a custom user input (parameter 1) and Grok's response (parameter 2):
{{Grok|Question|Answer}}

Human: Question

rok: Answer

Note that if HumanUserIs not defined, then the interaction is with "Human".

Puts a logo

pdf

{{pdf}} puts an icon like this and {{pdf|File:myfile.pdf}} links to it .

see

☞ {{see|Fabrice}} is pointing on Fabrice (used with pages shortcuts).

sic

stretch

Give the distance and/or time between two localizations, such as [[Tres Cantos]]{{stretch|20min (22.3km)}}[[Soto del Real]]Tres Cantos⮰^{20min (22.3km)}⮱Soto del Real. It can also take two arguments, in which case it separates them with a comma. We use it to plan trips.

stub

{{stub}}

TeX

$\mathrm{\TeX}$

thisday

Provides the clickable date of a given day, e.g.,

{{thisday|30|September|1977}} 30 September (1977)

See also {{thesedays}}.

thesedays

This can take 4 or 5 arguments, and the final argument (year) can be left empty in which case it is not displayed:

{{thesedays|15|June|15|July|2024}} 15 June–15 July (2024)

{{thesedays|15|June|15|July|}} 15 June–15 July

{{thesedays|15|17|July|2024}} 15–17 July (2024)

{{thesedays|15|17|July|}} 15–17 July

If the years are different, then two {{thisday}} calls should be made (and maybe a † has to be featured somewhere?!)

today

To be used with "subst:" to provide the clickable date of today, e.g.,

{{subst:today}}

gives 31 December (2023).

update

Indicates an {{update}} possibly with a date 16 July 2023 {{update|16 July 2023}}.

hour

Gives the local hour (shortcut for {{LOCALTIME}} or {{CURRENTIME}}; still have to fix timezone issue), e.g.,

{{multicol}}

{{multicol-break}}
