Documentation

Note
This page is a template. It contains some standardized, often used text, which can be transcluded inside other pages. As this template is widely used in our wiki, it may be protected in which case only staff members can change it. Use the discussion page to propose enhancements or fixes, or to voice your opinion.

Use this template inside an {{InfoBox stack}} to provide a link to a GitHub page in a right-floated box.

Parameters

Parameter name Required? Default value Description
Anonymous parameter 1 Yes (n/a) Path to project at GitHub.com (see below).
header No (n/a) Set this to yes or true to display a Resources heading, but only if the infobox is the first one in an {{InfoBox stack}}.
text No GitHub Can be used to change the link text.
raw No (n/a) If present, the anonymous parameter value is interpreted as a raw URL (see below).

In ordinary usage, the value of the required anonymous parameter must match the final portion of the target URL at GitHub.com. For example, using gentoo/portage will give a link to https://github.com/gentoo/portage.

Note that the value of the anonymous parameter may be set to the full raw URL (in the form https://github.com/path or //github.com/path), in which case raw must be set to any value (yes or true are good choices), but this should never be necessary.

The templates below are implemented using {{InfoBox}}. They should also appear in Category:InfoBox templates, which may be more complete than this list.

These templates should be used within an {{InfoBox stack}}. Each should provide its own header parameter, but if necessary {{InfoBox header}} can be used.

Underlined text indicates the default heading provided by header=true for each type of template.
