==Templates I use regularly==
The following templates are used on a regular basis through the site. These are seen primarily on article pages that require the use of infoboxes, mapping, internal and external links, references, and various types of formatting to enhance the body of text, plus many more. Most of these simple template have been created by myself. There may be some templates copied from other wikis with the same Creative Commons licence.

===Reference syntax for notes===
Currently, there three main syntaxes for notes. These are used with the <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template. The above template ([[Template:Notes]]) includes all three variations so if any of these are used, they will be displayed.
*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=note}}</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=n}}</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki> {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}</nowiki></code>

With the above in mind adding the following syntax within the text will provide the subsequent renderings for each version. It doesn't matter which version is used providing they remain consistent on each page.
*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="note">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="note">This is the note that renders the whole word note 1, note 2, note 3.</ref>
*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="n">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="n">This is the note that renders the abbreviated version of "note" as n 1, n 2, n 3.</ref>
*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="lower-alpha">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="lower-alpha">This is the note that renders letters of the alphabet</ref> and this <ref group="lower-alpha">The more notes there are the more letters are rendered: a, b, c, d, e, f, etc.</ref>

===Note renderings===
{{reflist|group=note}}{{reflist|group=n}}{{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}

==Templates used for the Roll of Honour==
The following templates are used to create soldier remembrance pages for the [[Lonsdale Battalion Roll of Honour]].

===Navplate templates===
*[[Template:Calendar]]
*[[Template:Prevnext]]

===Traditional infoboxes===
*[[Template:ROH Soldier 11th Battalion]]

===Alternative infoboxes===
So, not strictly infoboxes any more after being redesigned, however, these templates do make extensive use of tables.
*[[Template:Infobox soldier-alt]]{{2nbsp}} ''(titles, with commemorative scroll, FOR use with roll of honour)''
*[[Template:Infobox soldier-alt2]] ''(titles, without commemorative scroll, NOT for use with roll of honour)''
*[[Template:Infobox soldier-alt3]] ''(no titles, with commemorative scroll, FOR use with roll of honour)''
*[[Template:Infobox soldier-alt4]] ''(no titles, without commemorative scroll, NOT for use with roll of honour)''

===Link templates===
*[[Template:A Company]] <code><nowiki>{{A Company}}</nowiki></code>
*[[Template:B Company]] <code><nowiki>{{B Company}}</nowiki></code>
*[[Template:C Company]] <code><nowiki>{{C Company}}</nowiki></code>
*[[Template:D Company]] <code><nowiki>{{D Company}}</nowiki></code>
*[[Template:Images]] ''(link shortcut to soldier's images subpage)''
*[[Template:Scroll]] ''(link shortcut to soldier's commemorative scroll subpage)''

===Other templates===
*[[Template:"]] ''(Used for providing{{"}} a connecting line to text above)''
*[[Template:No image]] ''(standard 'no image' blurb)''
*[[Template:Images wanted]] ''(for use on soldier's images subpage)''
*[[Template:Commemorative scroll]] ''(the scroll image and text)''
*[[Template:Bold heading]]
*[[Template:Infobox notes]] transcluded in → [[The Lonsdale Battalion:Notes and definitions for soldier remembrance pages]]
*[[Template:Wl]] ''(Wikipedia link)''
*[[Template:Osm]] ''(Open Street Map service)''
*[[Template:CWGC cemetery]] → [[User:Borderman/List of CWGC cemeteries and coordinates]]
*[[Template:Small-caps]] or [[Template:Sc]]
*[[Template:Center]]
*[[Template:Reflist]]

==Hints and tips==
To resize images so they are responsive to screen size use the following:
<pre>
<div class="res-img">
[[File:YourImageFileName.jpg|size]]
</div>
</pre>
The following is to be used on a soldier's commemorative scroll subpage.
<pre>
<center><div class="res-img">
{{Commemorative scroll
|imagesize=550
|fontsize=160
|name=
|battalion=11th Battalion (Lonsdale)
|regiment=The Border Regiment}}
</div></center>
[[Category:Soldiers with a commemorative scroll]]
</pre>
The following is to be used on a soldier's images subpage.
<pre>
<gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=350px>
Add list of files here without [[ ]]
</gallery>
{{images wanted}}
[[Category:Soldiers with an image gallery]]
</pre>

Hello, I am Borderman, just a regular user of the Miraheze community, using their services to create this site, The Lonsdale Battalion, of which I am the administrator.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns I can be contacted in the following ways:
