 | Please do not post your requests or questions on this page. If you have questions about using Wikipedia, please ask at the help desk or the Teahouse. For questions about subjects and topics, please use the reference desk. Volunteers at these locations will respond to your questions as soon as possible. |
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}}
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 templates}} 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
See also
- {{Wikipedia editor navigation}} an amalgamation of navboxes that includes this navbox.
