Template:MakeHeader

Introduction

This template generates either a Wikitext header or a "fake" header that mimics the actual H1-H6 elements, including the styles used in main.css for the site.

If either of the following cases are True, a fake header will be generated.

  1. Current namespace is Template
  2. The h parameter is set to n

If neither of the cases are True, a Wikitext header will be generated.

The template is meant to be used where a real header would be undesirable due to appearing in the TOC and having an Edit link, especially in the Template: namespace.

Usage

Syntax

{{MakeHeader|<text>|<level>|<color>|<border>|<style>|h=}}

Text Only

{{MakeHeader|<text>}}

Basic

{{MakeHeader|<text>|<level>}}

Custom Color

{{MakeHeader|<text>|<level>|<color>}}

Custom Style

{{MakeHeader|<text>|<level>|||<style>}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional except the first one (text).

  1. text: The text to display in the header.
  2. level: The header level to generate. Valid values are 1 through 6.
    The value matches the Wikitext equal-sign count. (ie. ===Some Header=== → 3)
    The default value is 2.
  3. color: Custom color for the heading text. Valid CSS values are accepted.
  4. border: Custom color for the underline. Valid CSS values are accepted.
  5. style: Any additional values to put in the style attribute.
    Must be in the standard format of <name>:<value>;<name>:<value>;
  • h: Suppress the Wikitext header by setting this to n.

Note

When a Wikitext header is rendered, the custom styles (parameter 3-5) are ignored due to Wikitext limitations.
There isn't a way to provide custom styles to a Wikitext header.
