- Template:ArticleEnd – A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners
This article provides a detailed explanation of the `Template:ArticleEnd` used within this wiki. It is aimed at beginners with little to no experience in MediaWiki templating or wiki editing. We will cover its purpose, functionality, parameters, usage, best practices, and troubleshooting tips.
- 1. Introduction to Templates in MediaWiki
Before diving into `Template:ArticleEnd`, it’s crucial to understand what templates are in the context of MediaWiki. Templates are pre-written pieces of wiki code that can be included (transcluded) on multiple pages. They allow for consistency in formatting, reduce repetitive work, and facilitate easier updates. Instead of copying and pasting the same content across numerous articles, you create a template once and then simply *include* it wherever needed. This offers significant benefits for maintaining a large wiki like this one. Think of them as reusable building blocks for your wiki pages. Help:Templates is a good starting point for learning more about templates generally.
- 2. The Purpose of Template:ArticleEnd
`Template:ArticleEnd` is specifically designed to provide a standardized footer section for articles within this wiki. Its primary purpose is to ensure that all articles share a consistent "end" section, containing elements such as:
- **Disclaimer:** A standard disclaimer regarding the information presented.
- **External Links:** Links to relevant external resources (trading platforms, educational sites, etc.).
- **Community Links:** Links to our Telegram channel and other community platforms.
- **Category Assignment:** Automatic categorization of the article.

By using `Template:ArticleEnd`, we maintain a professional and consistent look and feel across the entire wiki, and ensure that important disclaimers and resources are readily available to readers.
