Forum:SH Archive/Technical note: Preloads

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

As you may notice, editing a nonexistent page now shows a dropdown box with a list of templates. When you select a template, a typical transclusion scenario is preloaded.

The template list is at Template:Stdpreloads. Each line is interpreted as always:
 * Lines not beginning with "-- " do nothing. They're reserved for sections.
 * If you select a line of the syntax "-- Templatename", the page refreshes and the contents of Template:Templatename/preload get preloaded. The previous content of the page is erased.

See Template:Character infobox/preload for an example.

Hope this helps. - Sikon 11:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
