Template:Officeholder infobox/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:33, 29 July 2020

This page contains the documentation for Template:Officeholder infobox. It includes information about the template, such as usage and categories, and is not displayed when using the template itself.

Please see NPOWiki:Policies#Infoboxes for which positions to list and the order to list them in. If consecutive affiliations or offices are the same, the duplicate headings will be omitted.

This template is meant to be "implemented" by other templates, but can be used directly if needed. Implementations must specify the game name and pass through any relevant parameters, or custom formatted information. They must be updated if the available parameters are changed.

For a list of current implementations, see here.

For the helper template this uses, see Template:Officeholder infobox/office.

-If consecutive affiliations or offices are the same, the duplicate headings will be omitted. So you may want to sort positions by affiliation, then by office, then chronologically; or purely chronologically; or chronologically with same offices grouped; etc. Try to list only major positions or those that are the most important to the subject.
