Instructions for {{Subpage tabs}}

{{Subpage tabs}} creates a series of tab-like links to the subpages of the page they're placed on. Basic usage is very simple. Simply place {{subpage tabs}} at the top of the page, above any other templates. This will automatically produce links to the following standardised subpages, if they exist for this page, in this order:

• Biography
• Spoilers
• Physical appearance
• Other realities
• Non-valid material
• Promotion
• Gallery
• Appearances

If the page you are using the template on uses non-standard subpages, these can be specified as follows:

{{subpage tabs|Custom subpage 1|Custom subpage 2}}

You can specify as many additional subpages as necassary. Note that additional subpages always display after custom ones.

By default, tabs are created for the current page, or it's base page one level higher in the subpage order. If required, a different page can be specified and tabs will instead be displayed for that page. This done using |p=. For example, to generate tabs for Davros, you'd type:

{{subpage tabs|p=Davros}}

The following code produces the series of tabs shown below:

{{subpage tabs|p=Davros|Custom subpage}}

Technical documentation

All heavy lifting for this template is done in Module:Subpage tabs. One important part is the table defined on line 3: this controls which subpages are looked for automatically and in what order they are displayed.

Styling for this template is largely at /styles.css. All colours are defined in MediaWiki:Gadget-ms-Tardis.css.
