Template:GuideFor

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template should be placed on Guides, and will cause content elsewhere on the Wiki to link to that guide with {{HasGuide}}. Arguments passed to the template will identify which Wiki pages should have those guide links added.

The arguments are used to construct a Semantic Mediawiki query for pages of interest. The guide will then link to those pages with the Property:Is guide for Property, which is inspected by common templates such as {{Item}}, {{Action}}, etc.

Usage notes

• This template may be used several times if a guide covers multiple swathes of content. It is OK if the same page is identified by multiple queries.
• Some queries may not cover all edge cases. It may be simpler to manually add links using to use the Pages parameter. Use '#' (number sign) to separate pages within this parameter if needed.
• You need not cover every relevant property. More links is better, but something is better than nothing!

Identifying pages

Many guides cover content in a single location, or sometimes even actions in a single storylet. Use the Location or Storylet arguments to identify the associated actions, storylets, or cards. In some cases, the relevant tracking qualities can be identified from a "clean-up" action which clears them. If so, pass the name of this action in the Cleanup argument.

If small, disconnected amounts of links are needed, or if a few pages are not easily covered by other means, they can also be added manually, using the Pages parameter.

More complex pieces of content may need more complex logic. The unnamed first argument may contain arbitrary SMW selection logic. Alternatively, the Category parameter may contain either a Category or smw:Concept page for the relevant content. Concept or Category pages should include their namespace. Concept pages are recommended for extremely complex pieces of content, and due to query complexity restrictions, may be the only way of representing some content.

All queries are implicitly restricted to the Main namespace.

Sets the Semantic MediaWiki property "Is guide for" identifying the content covered by a guide. The covered content will automatically link to the guide where this template is placed.
