Template:Contacts district

[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Welcome to the Northwest District Contact Directory. As you can see, this is a template file, and it is transcluded into other articles on this website. Registered users are allowed to make adjustments here, but please follow the directions (given below).

Individuals may add their contact information according to the following criteria:

1. Use your given name. Nonsense names will get deleted.
2. Add information about yourself only (unless authorized by the webmaster or District officers).
3. If you do not have a phone or email address, leave the entry blank.
4. Primary units are those units where you spend most of your time and energy.

How to add your contact information

The following information applies to editing the {{Contacts district}} template directly. This can be achieved by clicking the "Edit" link in the red banner at the top of the page, NOT the "edit" link in this green box.

After entering the Edit page, you will notice three distinct part to the template, the top, the middle, and the bottom.

Top of the Template

Do not alter the information at the top of the page. It controls how the table is built and its functionality. It looks like this:

{| class="wikitable sortable contacts" style="width:100%;"
! Name      !! Phone    !! Email             !! NWMTBSA Login  !! Primary Unit
<!--------------  DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE  ------------->

Bottom of the Template

Do not alter the information at the bottom of the page either. It controls how the table is built and its functionality. It looks like this:

<!-----  MAKE SURE THERE IS ONLY ONE EMPTY LINE ABOVE THIS LINE  -----> 
<!--------------  DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE  ------------->
|-class="sortbottom"
! Name      !! Phone     !! Email             !! NWMTBSA Login  !! Primary Unit
|}<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

Adding Your Contact Info

You can see the remainder (in the middle) as following the basic structure shown below. You will need to know how to copy and paste text in order to add your contact information.

Note: This example uses generic information and will not reflect how the table actually looks.

Copy the lowest part of the middle section.

|-
| Your Name || 111-2222 || me@email.com || [[User:Your Name]] || [[Pack 4000]]

Paste it to the bottom of the middle section, like this:

|-
| Your Name || 111-2222 || me@email.com || [[User:Your Name]] || [[Pack 4000]]
|-
| Your Name || 111-2222 || me@email.com || [[User:Your Name]] || [[Pack 4000]]

Now you can go in and make your changes.

|-
| Your Name || 111-2222 || me@email.com || [[User:Your Name]] || [[Pack 4000]]
|-
| Joe Scouter || 555-1212 || joescouter@gmail.com || [[User:JoeScouter]] || [[Troop 1000]]

Don't worry if the spacing isn't the same between the two entries. The software will read it as the same and format it properly. Click the "Save page" button at the bottom of the Editing page, and you will be finished.
