Frequently used templates of our wiki

There are templates which we often use in our wiki for creating and editing the pages. The purpose of these templates make our lives easier and expedite reading the page in edit mode. Do not hesitate to use them.

Menu in an application interface

This template is used to display the menu in the application interface. It is often used in the Release Notes and articles of the FAQ.

{{bc|File|Save as...}}}

result: File ▸ Save as...

Button on the keyboard

The template is used for keys pressed on a keyboard to get the desired result.

{{key|Ctrl}}

result: Ctrl

A shortcut key can be set by vertical bar ( | ):

{{key|Ctrl|S}}

result: Ctrl + S

For more information, see key.

Dead link

If you find a link that goes to the wrong site or to a page that doesn't exist (404), use this template:

{{dead link}}

result: ^{[dead link]}

Link to Wikipedia

If you want to make a beautiful link to Wikipedia, you can use this template:

{{Wikipedia|language=ru|1=LibreOffice|2=Информация о LibreOffice}}

result: Информация о LibreOffice⁠

Meaning of the parameters:

language - the language of Wikipedia;
1 - the title of the article on Wikipedia for this language;
2 - the text to be displayed.

The final attribute can be omitted, if you want to display the title of the article.

You can use a shorter template for the English part of wikipedia:

{{enwp|1=LibreOffice|2=Information about LibreOffice}}

result: Information about LibreOffice⁠

For more information, see Template:Wikipedia.

Link to bugtracker

Our Bugzilla instance is the primary bugtracker. The easiest way to make a link to it is to use this template:

{{tdf|68983}}

68983 is the bug number.

Result: tdf#68983

You can use additional arguments in this template:

{{tdf|68983|Name|shownumber=yes|c=6}}

Name - the link text
shownumber=yes - if set to "yes", the bug number will be shown next to the link text
c=N - a link to a specific comment N

These arguments are not required and you can skip them. The above example looks like:

tdf#68983 - Name

abi - AbiWord Bugzilla
bnc - Novell Bugzilla
deb - Debian BTS
fate - openSUSE Bugzilla
fdo - FreeDesktop Bugzilla
icu - International Components for Unicode JIRA
