 | This is an essay by Harrystein. It contains personal opinions or rhetoric written or shared by a Leftypedia user. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it a policy or guideline written by Leftypedia. |
Template documentationDescription
To be placed at head of Essay: namespace pages.
How to use
Place at the head of an Essay when you create or make an edit to an essay that is your original work, and it will automatically credit you, like so:
{{essay}}
yields:
| This is an essay by Harrystein. It contains personal opinions or rhetoric written by one or more Leftypedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it a policy or guideline written by Leftypedia. |
If you are not the author of this piece, you can credit the author with the author parameter. Inputting:
{{essay|author=Discomrade}}
yields:
| This is an essay by Discomrade. It contains personal opinions or rhetoric written by one or more Leftypedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it a policy or guideline written by Leftypedia. |
If you are citing an author who is Anonymous or is not an original poster here, you need to avoid the automatic link to that person's (nonexistent) Leftypedia userpage by inputting user=no, as such:
{{essay|author=Jehu|user=no}}
| This is an essay by Jehu. It contains personal opinions or rhetoric written by one or more Leftypedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it a policy or guideline written by Leftypedia. |
Using this parameter will automatically credit you, the person who added the template, for sharing this work with Leftypedia. If you did not share the work, then use contrib to credit the user who posted it.
Be aware that the posting of external works under Essay is a gray area that has yet to be defined, and may result in your upload being removed.
Future additions: options for multiple contributors, i.e. author2,author3 et cetera.
Parameters
author |
The author of the Essay. If this parameter does not exist, then the Essay will be credited to you, the editor who added the template itself. |
user |
If this value is set to no, then the author parameter will appear with no hyperlink to a User page on Leftypedia. If any other value is inputted, including leaving the parameter blank, then the User hyperlink will appear normally. You will automatically be credited for sharing this person's work unless you use the contrib parameter.
|
contrib |
If you set the user parameter to no but did not originally upload this work to Leftypedia, set contrib to the username of the user who did, and it will credit them.
|
link |
Used to hyperlink to another site if not written by another user. |
cat |
Completely optional. Only use this if you are having issues with automatic categories; e.g. if you are using a wikilink in your template. |
