This is the Asbox ([A]rticle [s]tub [box]) metatemplate. It is the standard template used for creating new or updating existing article stub box templates. It supports virtually all stub template styles.
Usage
image
Filename only and no prefix, e.g. "image.png" (without quotemarks). Image will be sized at 40x30px.
subject
Placed before the word "article" in the template (e.g. "biographical", producing "This biographical article is (...)").
qualifier
Placed after the word "article" (e.g. "about a musician", producing "(...) article about a musician is (...)").
category
Name only of category to which pages where this template used are added (e.g. "History stubs").
name
Full name of the stub template itself (used for internal reference).
This simple usage should suffice for most stub templates. Additional parameters are described below for advanced use.
Full syntax
{{Asbox
| image = Ambox style.png
| pix =
| subject =
| article =
| qualifier =
| category =
| tempsort =
| category1 =
| tempsort1 =
| note =
| name = {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}
}}
Parameters
icon or image
If the image is called with an icon template, icon is set to the full syntax of the template; that's the name of the template, plus any arguments (separated with | ), including the {{ and }} around it. Icon can also be used to provide the full image markup (include the opening and closing square brackets), if special image settings such as "border" are to be used. If the image is called explicitly image is the name of the image. pix will likely be required as well, the default value for pix is 40x30.
imagealt may be used to override the default alt text which is set to "Stub icon".
pix
The size of the image in pixels (no need to append px). Only required if image is used and this image requires a size different from the default maximum of 40x30 pixels. (Note that in the interests of standardising the formats of stub messages, images of size 40x30 are much preferred.)
subject and qualifier
This subject article qualifier is a stub ...
Examples:
- This geography article about a place in Rohan is a stub ...
- This elementary physics article is a stub ...
- This article about Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer is a stub ...
Other parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| category | The stub category the articles should go in. |
| tempsort | If exists the stub template [?] (and any other templates) will be put in its own category sorted as " " (space) followed by tempsort, otherwise it will be sorted with the value of " " (space) followed by the template name.
|
| category1 | An optional second stub category the articles should go in. |
| tempsort1 | If exists the stub template [?] (and any other templates) will be put in its own category sorted as " " (space) followed by tempsort1, otherwise it will be sorted with the value of " " (space) followed by the template name.
|
| category# | Since the release of Asbox's module, this template now supports an unlimited number of categories. Just replace '#' with a number, e.g. |category2=Normal stubs, |category99=Over-categorized stubs, etc. Traditionally, category2 was the max, so please only use more than 3 if the additional categories are unique, i.e. not sub or parent categories of the others.
|
| tempsort# | Similar to the category params, you can have any number of tempsort params. |
| note | If exists the value [?] will be added, as a "small" note, to the stub template. |
| name | The full page name of the template itself. |
| demo | Has no effect in article space. Prevents category output. Set to anything to enable. (Even 'no' or 'false' will enable it!) If demo is set, it will show pseudo-categories. If |demo=art then the pseudo-cats shown will only be those visible in article space (i.e. no error/hidden cats). Set |demo=doc to preview the documentation page as well (and all cats). See: Template:Asbox/testcases
|
Examples
Using image
Based on {{Akershus-geo-stub}}:
{{asbox
| image = Akershus våpen.svg
| pix = 30
| subject = [[Akershus]] location
| qualifier =
| category = Akershus geography stubs
| tempsort =
| name = Template:Akershus-geo-stub
}}
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;}}
...which allows the specification (with CSS) of the three stub-template links provided (see discussion). A side effect is that a non-existing talk page of the stub template may appear on Special:WantedPages.
