Lists is just a name for the list template that empowers this website. It actually would include grid displayed items as well. But it's the entry command for displaying an array of items, by grabbing data from other pages.

Types[edit | edit source]

Type defines the formats (from most to least verbose/large) that the list will be displayed in:

  • All - This is a list of Pages (that match the filter) that is a Heading (with the page name), a link to the full article, and then all the contents of the article that's between the <onlyinclude></onlyinclude> tags. We also generally use an "/all" suffix on the filter, to differentiate between something that's included in another list and in a full, "show me all" list. [[Category:X/all]] }}
  • Articles - Larger Grid of Articles (that match the filter) - rectangular display of a page (square) with the title at the top, Summary text flowing around an optional (upper-right aligned) image beneath that.}}
  • ArticlesS - Smaller Grid of Articles (that match the filter) - rectangular display of a page (square) with the title at the top, 1Liner text beneath that.
  • Choices - A list of Fragments of type Choice. (A table with left/right or Left/Center/Right columns).
  • Summary - A bulleted List that has the Article Name/link (that match the filter), and the Summary of that article.
  • 1Liner - A bulleted List that has the Article Name/link (that match the filter), and the 1Liner of that article.
  • 3ColH - A 3 Column List that has the Article Name/links (that match the filter)... grouped under a header for each letter.
  • 3Col - A 3 Column List that has the Article Name/links (that match the filter)... just alphabetical order.
  • Comma - Comma separated List of results (Article Names/links) that match the filter.

Filter[edit | edit source]

The filter is what Categories will get displayed:

  • [[Category:Help]] - will find every Article (Item) that's tagged with [[Category:Help]]
  • [[Category:Movies]][[Category:Reviews]] - will find every Article (Item) that's tagged with both [[Category:Movies]] AND [[Category:Reviews]]
  • [[Category:Movies]]OR[[Category:Reviews]] - will find every Article (Item) that's tagged with either [[Category:Movies]] OR [[Category:Reviews]]

Examples[edit | edit source]

  • {{List|Summary|[[Category:Help]]}} -- says, create a (bulleted) List that shows the Title (always) and Summary, for each article that has the Category:Help.
  • {{List|Articles|[[Category:Movies]][[Category:Reviews]]}} would show you a list (actually a grid) of Articles that have both Movies and Reviews as their Category (tags). "Articles" is the name of the rectangular display of a page (square) with the title at the top, summary text flowing in a grid / table cell, with an optional image for that page displayed in the upper right corner.


This is an entry point to display lists. {{Show List|Type|Filter|}}

  • Parameter #1 is Type = Summary, 1Liner, 3Col,
  • Parameter #2 is Tags/Labels/Filter = [[Category:Movies]] <nowiki>{{Show List Summary|Category=|Strip=*;true}}|Link=none}}
