This is the asbox or article stub box meta template. It is the standard template used for creating new or updating existing article stub box templates. It supports most, if not all, stub template styles.
Contents |
Basic usage
{{asbox | image = just the name of the image, e.g. Image.png - will be sized at 40x30px | subject = given before "article", e.g. "this *biographical* article is a stub" | qualifier = given after "article" e.g. "this article *about a musician* is a stub"w | category = just the name of the category to place tagged pages in, e.g. History stubs | name = the full name of the stub template itself, used to reference itself internally }}
This simple usage should suffice for a great many stub templates. Additional parameters are described below for advanced use.
Full usage
{{asbox | image = Ambox style.png | pix = | subject = | qualifier = | category = | tempsort = | category1 = | tempsort1 = | note = | name = {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}} }}
Parameters
icon<code> or <code>image
If the image is called with an icon template, icon
is set to the full syntax of the template; that's the name of the template, plus any arguments (separated with | ), including the {{
and }}
around it. Icon can also be used to provide the full image markup (include the opening and closing square brackets), if special image settings such as "border" are to be used. If the image is called explicitly image
is the name of the image :- pix
will likely be required as well, the default value for pix
is 40x30.
imagealt
may be used to override the default alternate text for images which is set to "Stub icon".
pix
The size of the image in pixels (no need to append px). Only required if image
is used and this image requires a size different from the default maximum of 40x30 pixels. (Note that in the interests of standardising the formats of stub messages, images of size 40x30 are much preferred.)
