Usage

edit

To group multiple banners, such as merge histories, into a box, and optionally collapse them into one banner to save vertical space.

Basic syntax

edit
{{Banner holder |
{{First banner}}
{{Second banner}}
{{Third banner}}
...
}}

All parameters

edit
{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=Some text here |image=someicon.jpog |size=48 |
{{First banner}}
{{Second banner}}
{{Third banner}}
...
}}

Note that the vertical bar (|) at the end of the first line must be included.

Optional parameters

edit
  1. Adding |collapsed=yes will cause the outer table to be collapsed, hiding the banners. Adding |collapsed=no (the default) will cause the outer table not to be collapsed, showing the banners.
  2. Adding |text=some string... will cause the collapse bar title to be altered to some string. If left blank or not used, the default string is Other talkpage banners..
  3. Adding |image=file name (not including the 'Image:' or 'File' prefix) changes the puzzle piece to the specified image.
  4. Adding |size=number changes the size of the image icon to the number of pixels specified.

Examples

{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=This page contains text [[WP:CWW|copied]] or [[WP:TFOLWP|translated]] from other articles |image=Merge-arrow-3.svg |size=36 |
{{Copied |from=SRC |from_oldid=rev |to=DEST |to_diff=dest-rev |to_oldid=prev-rev |date=DATE}}
{{translated page|de|ICE 1|version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}}
}}

and generates:
