What Is On This Sandbox Page?
I've added various examples of coding in this sandbox that are problems for most users. Please look at the wikitext used to create the items, but don't change it.

Look but don't touch.

Hopefully, the code will help you with the wiki articles you are editing.

In Page Links via Bookmark - hashtag
You can link to different sections in the same article by the use of a hash tag (#).

In this example, the link goes to the Images section of this page.

Here's the code that created this link: Images

Because the link is internal to the wiki double brackets are used with a pipe separating the link from the word image that appears in the sentence. The hashtag is inserted after the page address and just before the name of the section header -- 'Images' in this particular case.

Supporting templates for the Information template have not been added to the non-English wiki's yet. The above translations will eventually be used for those wiki's when all of the templates are added ... IF ... the choice is made to NOT use English for Templates.

Table format for use until templates are installed.

Images

 * Captions only show if the image is called when either the frame or thumb parameter is used.


 * See Help - Images










 * Example: The [[Image:Russian Alphabet Key.pdf|Russian Alphabet Key]] form is extremely useful in deciphering written Cyrillic text.

Bullets and Numbered Lists

User Boxes
How to you build a list of userboxes on your User Page?

Start by adding this code to your userpage where you want to add your userboxes:

( Note: align right, left or center.)

Next add the template code for the user box(es) that relate to your activities, skills and affiliations.

Some examples are:        etc. (Note the separation of each by a space).

End the userbox array with this code:

The userboxes will now show on your user page and look like those to the right.

If your list of user boxes is long, you may want to include collapsible sections.

The code to add a collapsible section is easy to add with some simple code. The collapsible section for a Communities section looks like this: (See it in action to the right.)

(Note: The section description "Communities" and the link to the wiki article named "FamilySearch_Communities")

The next item to add is the collapsible box template which starts with:

An example of code for a collapsible FamilySearch Communities userbox section looks like this:

You can add as many or few to the list as you want. Just copy the code above and modify it to fit your desire.

Each new item has to start with a pipe | .... then a number in consecutive order followed by the equals sign and then the userbox code.

|1=

Be sure to close the section with two curly brackets. }}

You can have many different sections in your userbox frame. Just choose the title for each section, add the appropriate opening statement and link and then add the code for the userbox templates that you want in that section. Close the userbox with the code shown in the above examples.

Here are two userpages that demonstrate collapsible userboxes:


 * Cottrells
 * Ldrew

It is noted that it was the Second Foundation which ensured that the famed library would survive the sacking to Trantor and the destruction of its urban culture – especially significant, considering that the library was vital to the Second Foundation itself.

Surrounding Communities Box
Template can use too many calls. Maximum of 99 calls (links) (Too many expensive parser function calls) per box to avoid heavy parser error. This type of a box has the potential to include several hundred links. Be careful! Keep the count under 100. See Admin Maintenance Other for details
