Article templates
TekWiki offers a number of Wiki templates that generate uniform information boxes, headlines, categories and the like.
Here's how to use some of these.
Oscilloscopes and similar instruments
{{Oscilloscope Sidebar |
title=Name of model |
summary=Short description of what it is |
image=Photo of XYZ.jpg |
caption=What exactly is shown in the photo |
introduced=year the model was introduced |
discontinued=last year the model was sold + 1 |
manuals=
* [http://some.external.site XYZ Service Manual] (PDF, OCR, 13 MB)
* [[Media:0970-9876-99.pdf|XYZ Operator's Manual]] (PDF, 5 MB)
The template adds [[Category:Introduced in (year)]]
to the article.
If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?)
.
Example:
Plug-ins

to the article.
If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?)
.
Example:
TM500/TM5000 plugins
{{TM500 | mfg=Tektronix | type=DM502 | function=basic 3½ digit digital multimeter | class=multimeter | image=Tek dm502 e1.jpg | introduced=1975 | discontinued=1988 |

* [[Media:070-8766-05.pdf|Tektronix AM503B AM5030 Manual (PDF)]]
}}
The template adds [[Category:Introduced in (year)]]
to the article.
If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?)
.
The template adds [[Category:TM500(0) (class) plugins]]
to the article, e.g. [[Category:TM500 multimeter plugins]]
in the first example above.
In addition to the sidebar, this template generates a first paragraph as "The (mfg) (type) is a (function) plug-in for the TM500(0) system.", e.g.
- The Tektronix AM5030 is a current probe amplifier plug-in for the TM5000 system.
