Template:Banner holder

Other talk page banners

This template uses Lua: Module:Banner shell (sandbox)

This template uses TemplateStyles: Module:Message box/tmbox.css (sandbox) Module:Banner shell/styles.css

Usage

To group multiple banners, such as merge histories, into a box, and optionally collapse them into one banner to save vertical space.

Basic syntax

{{Banner holder |
{{First banner}}
{{Second banner}}
{{Third banner}}
...
}}

All parameters

{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=Some text here |image=someicon.jpog |size=48|
{{First banner}}
{{Second banner}}
{{Third banner}}
...
}}

Note that the vertical bar (|) at the end of the first line must be included.

Optional parameters

1. Adding |collapsed=yes will cause the outer table to be collapsed, hiding the banners. Adding |collapsed=no (the default) will cause the outer table not to be collapsed, showing the banners.
2. Adding |text=some string... will cause the collapse bar title to be altered to some string. If left blank or not used, the default string is Other talkpage banners..
3. Adding |image=file name (not including the 'Image:' or 'File' prefix) changes the puzzle piece to the specified image.
4. Adding |size=number changes the size of the image icon to the number of pixels specified.

Examples

This example shows a banner holder grouping multiple {{Copied}} and {{Translated page}} templates, with an altered image icon:

{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=This page contains text [[WP:CWW|copied]]or[[WP:TFOLWP|translated]] from other articles |image=Merge-arrow-3.svg |size=36|
{{Copied |from=SRC |from_oldid=rev |to=DEST |to_diff=dest-rev |to_oldid=prev-rev |date=DATE}}
{{translated page|de|ICE 1|version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}}
}}

	This page contains text copiedortranslated from other articles
Text and/or other creative content from this versionofSRC was copied or moved into DEST with this edit on DATE. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. This template contains a translationofICE 1 from de.wikipedia. (210289191 et seq.)

Choosing banners to collapse

The choice of which banners to collapse is left up to editors' discretion. Some banners have dedicated collapse headers, such as:

• WikiProjects  – {{WikiProject banner shell}}
• Redirect categories – {{Redirect category shell}}
• {{On this day}} templates – self-collapsing
