Create update template documentation

New page

<noinclude>{{Documentation subpage}}</noinclude>

This template is to be used on articles, or sections of them, that contain outdated information. This may be for any number of reasons, most likely because somebody has deciphered a new part of the game.

==Parameters==

All of these parameters are optional.

===<code>sect</code>/<code>section</code>===

The <code>sect</code> parameter (and its synonym, <code>section</code>), can be used to indicate that only the current section is outdated (as opposed to the whole article). It's recommended to use this if you're not putting the box at the top of the article.

{|class="wikitable"
! Code !! Result
|-
| <code>{{Tlx|Update|sect{{=}}yes}}</code> || {{Update|sect=yes}}
|-
|}

===<code>small</code>===

This parameter can be used to indicate a small version of the box. '''This will only work if you enable <code>sect</code>!''' The value doesn't matter, so long as it's non-empty.

{|class="wikitable"
! Code !! Result
|-
| <code>{{Tlx|Update|'''sect{{=}}yes'''|small{{=}}whatever}}</code> || {{Update|sect=yes|small=whatever}}
|-
|}

===<code>talk</code>===

This parameter can be used to refer to a specific portion of the talk page, or to another talk page altogether, if desired.

===<code>reason</code>===

The <code>reason</code> parameter can explain in more detail what's going on. This is important if it's not clear or obvious what the problem is. You can also specify it via the first positional parameter, but the <code>reason</code> parameter if present will take precedence.

{|class="wikitable"
! Code !! Result
|-
| <code>{{Tlx|Update|now we know what that texture is for}}</code> || {{Update|now we know what that texture is for}}
|-
| <code>{{Tlx|Update|reason{{=}}turns out it isn't used after all}}</code> || {{Update|reason=turns out it isn't used after all}}
|-
| <code>{{Tlx|Update|reason{{=}}named|positional}}</code> || {{Update|reason=named|positional}}
|-
|}
