Template:VTE/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:VTE.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The VTE template invokes the {{navbar}} template with the parameter |mini= set to 1, thius linking to a template that gives direct access to the template's pages. Based on whether {{v}} or {{view}} is used, it renders as

and as

respectively. There are more configrable options to hide or add more links to both of these:

Usage

Copyable empty examples:

{{v|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|m|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|m|w|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}

Which produces:

The same type of template only for the full text "view" style:

{{view|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|move|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|move|watch|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}

Adding option |d (for "discuss") equals adding |t, adding a t link (for "talk").

Required parameters

{{v|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}} the template name is required. Do not add the namespace.
{{view|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}} the template name is required. Do not add the namespace.

The {{subst:PAGENAME}} will be substituted with the template's name when parsed by the servers.
