User blog:Kuzz/Template in Review: Challenge Template

Here's how to edit and/or add templates into pages. As the Exclusive Reveal racing challenge has just kicked off, I'm going to start off with this one.

Templates are using parameters. Sometimes there is a description to a parameter and sometimes there are not, instead there are numbers. It mostly depends on how the template has been coded to work and in this case I have used numbers instead. There's a reason for that but I'm not going to explain at this moment.

Now the templates consist out of a Template:H/challenge and out of a Template:R/challenge. The H stands for header, the top row of the template and R, well row and these can be used as many times as needed. And once you've added the amount of rows needed, remember to end the line with Template:End. Otherwise it'll screw things completely up.

In Action
Here's how the template looks without any input.

Now the parameters (shown as and etc.) needs some input. This is what the parameters stand for!

This may be a pretty long and boring process to take on when editing in the VisualEditor or Wikia's classic editor. For this I strongly recommend editing in the source editor as you can edit the template straight from the editor without having to edit every infobox piece by piece. Example two as given here in source code

Hope this blog post gave some understanding into how this specific template works. If you have any questions about this then you can ask them on my Message Wall:Kuzz or in the comments below!
