About Miraheze Developers Wiki

Miraheze Developers Wiki is a central repository for all types of templates, CSS and Javascript snippets, and Lua modules that you can import to your own wiki.

This wiki's purpose

A template is content that is transcluded in another page, meaning that only the template itself needs editing to change all instances where it appears. Templates can range from very simple to incredibly complex with multiple dependencies. But if you've ever found yourself wondering, "How do I make a...?" for your wiki, there's probably a template here for you! Some benefits of importing premade template(s) from this wiki are:

• You won't have to create something new (it likely already exists),
• It reduces the amount of dependencies you have to import (unlike Wikipedia's templates),
• They can serve as examples if you want to create your own.

 If you're tempted to import a template from Wikipedia, check to see if it exists here first!

I still need help

Your wiki may not need highly complex templates; in fact, many get by with only a few simple infoboxes.

If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of options, your best bet is to dive into editing and let your experience inform your needs. For instance, there's no need to import a NSFW notice template if your wiki does not include NSFW content.
