Description

The Fixbox is a specialized container used exclusively for fixes, workarounds, and step-by-step instructions. It provides a formal base for them, as well as keeping the wiki clean.

  • The title need to summarize what the fix/workaround is trying to accomplish.
  • For sequenced instructions, use # to label each step.
    • # allows numbered lists to be dynamic.
    • Ex. If new entries are placed in the middle of a list, the old entries are automatically re-numbered.


Standard fixbox

Name[1]

--instructions go here--

{{Fixbox|description=Name|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=
--instructions go here--
}}


One-line fixbox

For a short one-line fixbox where instructions are not necessary, the fix parameter can be excluded entirely:

Use windowed mode, see Video.[2]
{{Fixbox|description=Use windowed mode, see [[#Video|Video]].|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>}}


Collapsed fixbox

Add |collapsed=yes to the template to have the fixbox appear as collapsed and require user input to expand.

Name[3]

--instructions go here--

{{Fixbox|description=Name|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|collapsed=yes|fix=
--instructions go here--
}}
