Template:DYK help/doc

Usage

This template is used to create a WP:DYK "help button" that links to WP:DYK help. It is also used to create the buttons in WP:DYK help and its subpages, including a "back" button. The template is based on {{help button}} and uses {{Clickable button 2}}.

As a help button

Without any parameters, the template creates a help button. This button can be placed anywhere that might be helpful, such as on a user talk page, template, or other appropriate location.

Code:{{DYK help}}

Result: DYK help

As a navigation button

With parameters, the template can be used to create buttons for WP:DYK help and its subpages.

Format: {{DYK help |[target page] |[button label] |text=[accompanying text]}}

Example: {{DYK help |Main Page |Wikipedia's main page |text=Click this button to go to Wikipedia's main page}}

Result:

Wikipedia's main pageClick this button to go to Wikipedia's main page

As a back button

With parameter |back=, the template can be used to create a specially-styled "back" button. A target page must be specified.

Format: {{DYK help |back |[target page]}}

Example: {{DYK help | back |WP:DYK help}}

Result: ← Back

Color and other styling

Default styling is contained in the {{DYK help}} template code, but it can be overridden. This ensures that all buttons using {{DYK help}} look the same throughout the WP:DYK help tree of subpages, while still allowing custom styling when needed.

|class= specifies one of three accessible colors used by {{Clickable button 2}}:

• |class=neutral creates a gray button
• |class=destructive creates a red button
• If no |class= is specified, the default is |class=progressive, which creates a blue button

|style= can specify a CSS style. For more information, see the documentation at {{Clickable button 2}}.
