Template:Wikibullet
Purpose
[edit]This template supplies a "noprint" class bulleted item.
Authors of templates which provide bulleted items such as search links are responsible for applying an informed and judicious use of HTML classes noprint.
Applicable attributes include
- selfreference
- A direct reference to what is not content. These are stripped from some re-use of content.
- metadata
- A reference to content in the context of Wikipedia operations or maintenance; for example, references to status or maintenance categories or tags that are not content proper. These also are stripped from some re-use of content; for example, in print and in "extracts" they are removed, but not in "mobile".
- noprint
- Online-only elements. They make little or no sense in a paper or electronic facsimile of the online page. Online, the display elements with the "noprint" attribute are stripped from a print preview of page. For example, a button or other elements that require interactive actions in order to be useful.
- nomobile
- Hides things explicitly from the "mobile" medium. (No room for interpretation.)
- plainlinks
- Can, for example, hide this section's external-link [1] arrow icon as [2], or even disguised it as a wikilink.
Templates that apply these attributes include, for example {{selfref}} and {{nomirror}}.
For example, the output of the {{intitle}} or {{lookfrom}} are self-references in article space. In other namespaces, such as this one, a search link is not a self reference, and may need to be printed.
Markup{{wikibullet | {{intitle}} }}
{{wikibullet | {{lookfrom}}}}
{{wikibullet | {{search link| Wikipedia: intitle: "external links" }}}}

Usage
[edit]Defaults to a noprint bullet. Otherwise you can write
|bullet=no and |print=yes.
- parameter one
- the bullet item, also noprint
- parameter two, three, and four
- the HTML classes
For good spacing in the rendering on screen or paper place noprint bullets at the top or bottom of bullet list, not in the middle: The spacing in the screen version and print versions are slightly different. The discrepancy between the screen and normal bullets, begins to show after three bullets: see columns two and three. The same discrepancy does not show in print. The column labeled "Wrong" does not space well in print.

It goes at the beginning of a line. The first parameter as the bullet item. For example,
the search link template ''intitle'':
* Item 1
* Item 2
{{wikibullet | {{intitle}} | selfreference}}
{{wikibullet | {{lookfrom}} | nomobile}}
Renders as: the search link template intitle:
- Item 1
- Item 2

{{Noprint}} uses <span class="selfreference noprint">...</span>.

{{tlg}} applies span tags per parameters
