Help Support Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing Discussion Forum:

This page contains a list of the time-saving templates that users have created to assist you in quickly creating your articles.

To use a template in your article simply copy the same usage code and paste it into your wikitext at the location you would like it to display. Then replace the sample values with your own values.

Article Stub

When you create a page but don't have content ready you can include this template to let people know that it needs more information but is NOT an accidental page creation.

Note: This template should be removed from the page when content is added.

Usage:
{{articleStub}}


Special Article Stubs

Certain article categories have special stub templates associated with them. This helps people who would like to edit a particular kind of article, and also helps identify core articles that need content.

The special stub templates so far are:

Section Stub

When you know of a section on a page that but aren't able to enter the content, apply this stub so that someone else knows the information is needed.

Note: This template should be removed from the section when the content is added.

Usage:
{{sectionStub}}

Needs Image

If a page would benefit from a picture demonstrating a concept or process, add the imageNeeded template. Do not use this for any article that lacks images; only ones where you feel a picture would be particularly useful.

Usage:
{{imageNeeded}}

Vital Statistics Block

Displays a block allowing you to have min/max OG,FG,IBU,SRM and ABV in a tidy table display floating to the right of your paragraph.

e.g.

Vital Statistics

FG 0.998 1.008
IBU 8 12
SRM 2 3
ABV% 3.2 4.2

Malt Statistics Block

Generic malt statistics

The template:maltStatistics template provides general information on a style of malt, including the information required by most homebrew software packages. Use this to give general guidelines if more specific information on individual maltsters is not available.

Displays a block allowing you to list:

  • Origin
  • Yield
  • Potential
  • Color
  • Max in Batch
  • Moisture
  • Protein
  • Coarse Fine Difference
  • Diastatic Power
  • Recommend Mash
  • Notes

This is the blank template:

{{maltStatistics|
origin=
|yield=
|potential=
|color=
|max=
|moisture=
|protein=
|coarseFineDiff=
|diastatic=
|mash=
|notes=
}}
 

This is the result, without any data:

Origin
Yield
Potential
Color
Max in Batch
Moisture
Protein
Coarse Fine Difference
Diastatic Power
Recommend Mash
Notes
Compare various malts with the Malts Chart

MaltSummary and MaltInfo

If more specific information is available, then two templates are used instead of one. The first, template:maltSummary, gives basic information on the malt variety in general, while the second, template:maltAnalysis creates a more specific info box for information from each maltster's malt information sheet. The templates are:

{{maltSummary
|potential=1.036
|color=3.5 SRM
|max=90.0 %
|mash=TRUE
}}
