User blog:Penguin-Pal/Replacing wiki code- HTML templates solutions

Hello everyone,

I wanted to suggest a solution for a common problem in the wiki code, that mostl occures when using infoboxes or templates tht use parameters that are not numbers.

The proble mostly occures when trying to use the unordered list (used as a * before your list item), ordered list (used as a # before your list item) or using a heading tag (used as ==Heading==, or with more or less layers of qeual marks).

I will not give you all the details (as this is a blog, not a scientific paper :P), but you can read an example in the collapsible table above.

The only reason to solve this issue, is by using HTML tags.

I know that most of the users here and are active don't know much about HTML (though if you have ever used  or   tags, it means you do know at least basic HTML), so i've created the following template, to make them usable for everyone in the wiki.

The template is called HTML. If you try to add it to a page, you will get this:

This is because this template has a few several templates, and i would like to direct you, to know how to use each one of them:


 * &#123;&#123;HTML/ul&#125;&#125;- unordered list (bullet listing)
 * &#123;&#123;HTML/ol&#125;&#125;- for ordered list (numbered lists)
 * &#123;&#123;HTML/htag&#125;&#125;- for headings (like using the &#61;&#61;Section&#61;&#61; headings).

I've also added the templates SRC, MusicPlay and EmbedMusic, as they also use HTML tags as well. More elements can be found at Template:HTML.

If you have found any more wiki codes that have similar problems, feel free to create a new sub-template for them, or ask an admin to make them if you're not sure how to do that. You may also comment below if you have ideas for new updates to the wiki.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day and waddle on!
