{{{list}}}
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template generates a framed box for use in listing political endorsements (see example below). The generated box can be collapsed by readers viewing the page that the template is used on.
- Franz Beckenbauer[1]
- Women In Power[2]
- International Pipefitters Union[3]
- Young Social Green Democrats of Idaho[4]
Usage
This template outputs a framed box with table-like background coloring for use in listing political endorsements. The kind of listing, e.g. bulleted lists, numbered lists, etc., (and, in fact, all of the content) is up to the editor's discretion, although bullet lists are presumed to be the preferred format. Images, prose text, wikiheadings, etc., are all technically supported, but users should keep community usage consensus in mind when filling the list parameter. In particular, <small></small> and {{small}} should not be used, per MOS:SMALL, as the template outputs text at 88% of the base font size, so it's already rather, well, small.
All field names used must be in lowercase.
You can copy a blank version to use. Remember to use the "|" (pipe) character between each field. Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.
The template has the following syntax:
| Full version (copy and paste text below and delete parameters you don't need) |
|---|
|
| With top and bottom (copy and paste text below and delete parameters you don't need) |
|
This template can cause pages to exceed the Post-expand include size when it is used in large quantities on a page. To mitigate this, you should use the top/bottom notation rather than |list=.
Fields
All parameters are optional, although when used without list or the "top" option, the template is rather silly and produces either an empty box or merely {{{list}}}.
title- Candidate name; appears in the title bar of the generated box. If not present, "List of political endorsements" is displayed.
columns- When non-empty, causes contents of
listto be formatted into columns of 20em width, unless colwidth is set (in which case,columnsis ignored) colwidth- Width into which contents of
listshould be formatted, overriding presence or value ofcolumns(a valid value here always causes columns). Units not required, e.g., em, px, or %, but em units (e.g., "30em") are recommended. width- Settable (approximate) width of entire box; defaults to 100%. Units required, e.g., em, px, or %. Careless setting of this parameter can cause box to overrun available display width.
list- List of parties (i.e., individuals, groups, companies, etc.) endorsing the candidacy. Reference citations are expected (just as with prose additions).
Examples
Without top/bottom
{{Endorsements box
| title = Example without columns
| list =
* Item 1
* Item 2
}}
- Item 1
- Item 2
With top/bottom
{{Endorsements box|top
| title = Example without columns}}
* Item 1
* Item 2
{{Endorsements box|bottom}}
- Item 1
- Item 2
With columns
Any value in the |columns= parameter will create a list with column widths of 20em (although the |colwidth= parameter can override this).
{{Endorsements box
| title = Example with columns
| columns = yes
| list =
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
* Item 4
}}
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
With other column widths
The |colwidth= parameter causes columns to be used at the specified width.
{{Endorsements box
| title = Example with wider columns
| colwidth = 29em
| list =
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
* Item 4
}}
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
With constrained width
The |width= parameter sets the width of the box.
{{Endorsements box
| title = Example with constrained width
| width = 40%
| list =
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
* Item 4
}}
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
