Syntax Edit

{{Post
 | Indent = 
 | To = 
 | Text = 
}}
{{Post
 | Text = 
}}

Usage Edit

Used to make posts on talk pages or on the Forum to help readability. If Indent is left blank there will be no indent, use a colon ( : ) for each level of indentation desired. To can also be left blank if there isn't a particular person the post is addressed to.

For example:

{{Post
 | To = Wiki User 2
 | Text = I agree that we should start using exact names for in game items. But what about when more than one item has the same name, which should get the exact name? --~~~~
}}
{{Post
 | Indent = :
 | To = Wiki User 1
 | Text = There's an article, [[Naming Conventions]], that describes which gets the exact name --~~~~
}}

displays as:

To: Wiki User 1
I agree that we should start using exact names for in game items. But what about when more than one item has the same name, which should get the exact name? --Wiki User 1 06:04, 24 January 2009 (CST)

To: Wiki User 2
There's an article, Naming Conventions, that describes which gets the exact name --Wiki User 2 06:15, 24 January 2009 (CST)

You can include example code within a post, for example:

To use an alias within a template parameter you can't use a regular pipe because the template views it as a parameter separator. Instead of a pipe, use {{!}}, for example:

{{Related|:Category:Maps{{!}}All Maps}}

will display as:

Related topics: All Maps
