This article, Guide:How to Utilise Templates, is part of WH40K Homebrew Wiki's "Guide" articles. It is treated as a community project and serves as both hints and guidelines. You are free to edit it, if deemed appropriate.


Templates on this wiki refer primarily to the infoboxes that sit on the upper right of an article, giving a brief overview of the article's contents. These can be found in the following directory, Infobox Templates.

Infoboxes exist for a wide variety of different articles, to cover all the major factions in 40K. The major Infobox pages will also contain a page template for filling out the rest of the article.

How to use the Templates


NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you utilise a Sandbox when first setting up a page and DO NOT publish until the article is completed enough to be viewed by other users

Infobox

Navigate to the relevant page using the Infobox directory linked above (for the example below Loyalist Space Marines), copy and paste the infobox template into the top of the page you are setting up:

{{Infobox Loyalist Chapters
|name =
|shoulder artwork =
|shoulder caption =
|colour scheme =
|colour scheme caption =
|allegiance =
|founding =
|primarch =
|chapter master =
|homeworld =
|fortress monastery =
|allies =
|size =
|specialty =
|battle cry =
|colours =
|successor chapters =
}}

Fill out the sections as required, any which you don't need just leave blank and they will not show. DO NOT DELETE THE EMPTY SECTIONS, THIS MAY BREAK THE INFOBOX.
