Template:Blocks

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template allows you to display multiple pages or content blocks as inline-block "columns" on a page. This can be used to present content in a more space-efficient manner. It can be used to transclude content from other pages, display custom content, or a combination of both.

Syntax

Transclude another page

{{Blocks
| section1 = Section header 1
| page1    = Page to transclude 1
| section2 = Section 2
...
}}

Embed content directly in the template

{{Blocks
| section1 = Section header 1
| content1 = Wikitext content Section 1
| section2 = Section 2
...
}}

Parameters

• sectionN (optional): The header text for the content block or transcluded page, where N is a number starting from 1 and incrementing for each new section.
• pageN (optional): The name of the page to be transcluded, where N is a number starting from 1 and incrementing for each new page.
• contentN (optional): The custom content to be displayed for the respective section, where N is a number starting from 1 and incrementing for each new content block.

Note that you must specify either a pageN or contentN for each section. If both are specified, the transcluded page will take precedence.

Example

{{Blocks
| section1 = Discussions
| page1    = Wikipedia:Vaccine safety/Discussions
| section2 = Arbitrary wikitext
| content2 = Basically whatever you want
===New sections are possible===
If they are on their own lines.
