User:The Phase Master/WikibreakSwitch Documentation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Because sometimes I forget how to use WBS. Here I've transcluded the documentation from WBS, specifically the usage part.

Usage

[edit]

{{WikibreakSwitch|<status>}} Simply place the template on your talk page or sub-page, and it will automatically display a message on the page. To change the message, just change the single parameter. Based on your preferences, the template automatically detects your gender and gives "he" or "she" accordingly. Replace <status> with one of the following (case of value does not matter):

  • OFF: Shows the standard message saying the user uses this template, but is not on break and will change the template if they are.
  • ON: Shows the generic {{Wikibreak}}, saying the user is taking a short wikibreak.
  • OFF-ON: Shows {{Off and On WikiBreak}}, saying the user will be editing Wikipedia from time to time.
  • LONG: Shows {{Long wikibreak}}, signifying that the user is taking an extended wikibreak.
