Do you want/need help creating a navbox for items?

I see you making med pages for items like a printer, even an infobox. Do you also want to make a navbox for items?

If you don't know what's that is, it's a section usually added at the bottom of a page that contains navigation links (eg this page Captain).

If you want to make one, I can help actually create the template, if you want to fill it out of course (with med stuff?).

That's a great idea. I didn't think about that at all. I'm just getting started here and I'm a little slow at writing templates and such. I 100% ripped off the code from the role info box to create the template and even then it took me a while. I'm down to create one but please be patient with me if I'm a little slow at it. I think I need to create a bunch more pages for medical items to fill out the nav box for medical. Are we able to create the nav box first and then create the pages it links to later? But yeah if you can create the template i'll fill it out 100%.

Yeah, so I'll make the template and you can just start filling it at whatever pace you're comfortable at. It's pretty easy, just add new items in a list (you'll see it).

If you want to learn more about templates, go here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates. For infoboxes we use DRUID infoboxes, you can read more here https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/DRUID_infoboxes. And for navboxes we use RANGER navboxes from here https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/RANGER_navboxes

Ok so, I made the navbox here https://wiki.spacestation14.com/wiki/Template:Medical_items_navbox. Feel free to add new things, reorder or whatever! Tip: you can also use double asterisk ** for grouping items together (see the roles navbox for example).

As an example, I added the navbox to Gauze. I also added categories (items, medical items) - please add these to every page on medical items. That way we can keep track on them also through the categories. And I also added a separate section for acquisition of said item. If possible, please try to make some kind of layout (eg sections for acquisition, effects, trivia, etc) - that would make reading these pages easier.

Also feel free to join the Discord server if you haven't yet, we have a wiki channel where you can ask stuff in realtime! https://discord.gg/gtgEEYEd

Add the navbox to every item page you make so that navigation is possible to every other such page from any med. item page! --Aliser (talk) 13:27, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
