Help:WidgetTag/parameters
From the group that combats the Wikia skin, the Anti-Wikia alliance.
- Overview
- Specify values for any of these parameters just as you would for an attribute in any standard HTML tag. viz.
<widget param1=value1 param2="value2 with spaces">WidgetID</widget>- Each section heading is also the WidgetID.
- Example
- Suppose you defined at User:Najevi/DemoWidget a custom WikiPage widget. To display that custom widget in a wiki article or blog/forum post use:
<widget source="User:Najevi/DemoWidget">WikiPage</widget>
- Renders as
<widget source="User:Najevi/DemoWidget">WikiPage</widget>
- Note that the standard widget skin (or frame) is not displayed when widget tags are used to embed the widget within an article.
- For an explanation of the red-links see that widget's doc sub-page.
