Template:Course page 2/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage[edit]
This template is designed to walk teachers through the creation of a standardized Wikipedia assignment course page in the Education Program: namespace, with step by step instructions for adding Course description, Timeline, and Grading sections. To begin, the template should added as the (only) content of the Page text field of a course page. The sections will be created as talk subpages (which can then be edited by anyone, not just those who can edit the course itself).
This template takes the parameter term, which is optional but strongly recommended.
- term: the year and quarter in which the course begins. For example, a course beginning in September 2013 would have term = 2013 Q3. This parameter is used for the standard assignment banner that students are asked to add to the talk pages of articles they are working on.
The parameter can be added (or changed) before or after the course page is fully built.
Example[edit]
{{course page wizard|term=2013 Q3}}
See Education Program:Example University/Example Course (2013 Q1) for an example of the output. The relevant example subpages are:
- Education Program talk:Example University/Example Course (2013 Q1)/Course description
- Education Program talk:Example University/Example Course (2013 Q1)/Timeline
- Education Program talk:Example University/Example Course (2013 Q1)/Grading
Components[edit]
The content of the course page is added to subpages, and the creation of each subsequent subpage triggers instructions for starting the next one. The subpages and related instructions include:
| Page | instructions | editintro | preload |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course description | {{Course page 2/Course description}} | {{Course page 2/Course description/editintro}} | {{Course page 2/Course description/preload}} |
| Timeline | {{Course page 2/Timeline}} | {{Course page 2/Timeline/editintro}} | {{Course page 2/Timeline/preload}} |
| Grading | {{Course page 2/Grading}} | {{Course page 2/Grading/editintro}} | {{Course page 2/Grading/preload}} |
The code for the bar of links at the top of course pages is at {{Course page 2/Header}}.
