Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Template:Header/main block/doc]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Template:Header/main block/doc]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

Usage

Helper template to abstract layout of a header template "main block" (the block that contains the title and the next/previous links).

The template is intended for use by templates like {{header}} and {{author}} to centralise the layout code.

• |class= class of the main container
• |style= style of the main container
• |previous= previous content (free wikicode, optional)
• |pretitle= "pretitle" content (free wikicode, optional). Usually used by intermediate templates for text like "Versions of" that's not part of the main title
• |title= main "title" content (free wikicode, optional)
• |next= next content (free wikicode, optional)

{{Header/main block
 | style = border:1px solid green; background-color: #eee;
 | previous = Previous
 | next = Next
 | pretitle = Pretitle content
 | title = Title content
}}

Pretitle content
Title content

Technical

• This template applies the class .header-mainblock, which is used by the global CSS from MediaWiki:Gadget-SiteHeader.css to target responsive styling.
• The three field have the following classes:
  • .gen_header_backlink
  • .gen_header_center_cell: the middle cell
    • .gen_header_pretitle: the title content (not the main title)
    • .gen_header_title: the title content (not the pretitle)
  • .gen_header_forelink
