Templates
Have a look at the available complete set of templates: they will save you a lot of time and help the maintainers of this wiki to change things all over the wiki quickly and efficiently. Use them!
Below you find a brief introduction to the most used of them.
- Headers and Footers
- Pages under Doc:Manual, Doc:Tutorial and Doc:Reference should have a header and a footer to help the reader navigate through the pages, and to indicate the Blender version which the page refers to.
Use Template:Page/Header and Template:Page/Footer.
- Shortcuts
- When you need to insert hotkey descriptions (like ⌘ CmdS or ⇧ ShiftMMB
) you can use Template:Shortcut.
- Reference Material
- When writing reference material like pages under Doc:Manual or Doc:Reference, please use Template:RefBox. This helps to keep the manual consistent, with common information in well-defined and easily recognisable places, so that people can skim read to the information they’re looking for more easily.
- User Interface Items
- Labels, menus and their entry, or in general, any user interface item appearing on the screen should be written using Template:Literal.
- Blender version
- For long pages presenting several sections, some of which are relative to a different version of blender, Template:Blender/Version is available.
- Notes and tips
- To show notes and warnings you can use Template:Note
- For suggestions and ideas you can use Template:NiceTip
- Todo and tasks
- These are the templates you can use:
