This page is meant to help editors find and work on pages that are incomplete, need reformatting, missing categories, and more that will help make them more complete.
Templates
Templates are a feature on MediaWiki sites like this to provide a structured way to add page elements that are repeated frequently. The only way to edit the non-parameter text of the templates is to edit the templates themselves which will propagate the changes across the entire site.
Data Tables
- For more information, see more on the full page: EditorsToolbox:Tables
Unfortunately there isn't a native method for creating editable table templates. As a workaround the Template:DevicePage/Preload contains tables by default for providing information suitable for common radial electrolytic capacitors. If you need other types of tables or need to replace one that was removed you can copy/paste them from EditorsToolbox:Tables. If you make any tables that could be useful for other devices, feel free to add empty versions there for others.
MoreInfo
The MoreInfo creates a small note for linking to a page with more information meant to be used in small sections that just give a brief summary.
Example:
- For more information, see more on the full page: Capacitors
WikipediaInfo
WikipediaInfo is for linking to an external Wikipedia article about a topic to provide more general information.
Example:
- For general information, see more on Wikipedia: Capacitor
Template:Wikipedia rectifies some issues with the old template and has a cleaner syntax.
Example:
- For more information, see this article's corresponding Wikipedia page: Capacitor.
InfoboxDevice
Template:InfoboxDevice is for creating the quick info displays at the top of device pages
Example:
| Preliminary Information | |
|---|---|
| Release Year | 2022 |
| Leak Risk | None |
| Capacitor Types | All |
