Template:Equipment page removed

Revision as of 03:48, 16 October 2014 by Ian Oliver (talk | contribs) (updated example to include removal date)

This template is intended to be used on pages about tools that are no longer at Protospace. (Pages for tools that are currently at Protospace should use Template:EquipmentPage.) Follow the procedure outlined on the Adding New Tools Procedure page to add a page for a new tool.

The template's syntax is as follows. Everything below the fourth line (removaldate) is the same as Template:EquipmentPage.

{{EquipmentPage removed
| removedby     = Name of person who removed the tool
| removalreason = Reason the tool was removed
| removaldate   = Date the tool was removed
| toolname      = Name of the tool
| model         = Make and/or model of tool
| serial        = Serial number (if applicable)
| owner         = Original owner/donor (or buyers if the tool was group-bought)
| loanstatus    = Short-term loan, semi-permanent loan, or donated to Protospace
| arrived       = When the equipment showed up
| location      = Where one can find the tool/where it belongs
| status        = "Functional"/"Working", "Broken"/"Needs fixing", etc.
                      (If it needs fixing, please elaborate later in the article.)
| permission    = "Private", "Ask owner first"," Open to full members",
                      "Open to members & friends", "Open to all", or something else as appropriate
| certification = "Self-taught" or "Certification required" as appropriate
| itemphoto     = A file link to a photo of the tool.
                      Standardly [[File:filename.jpg|350px|thumb|right|]] with the appropriate filename substituted.
                      (You will need to upload the file if it doesn't already exist on the wiki.)
}}

It generates the following on the tool page:

← Back to tools gallery

150
This article is about a tool that is no longer at Protospace. It was removed by {{{removedby}}} on {{{removaldate}}} because {{{removalreason}}}.
  • Name: {{{toolname}}}
  • Make/Model: {{{model}}}
  • Serial Number: {{{serial}}}
  • Original Owner: {{{owner}}}
  • Loan Status: {{{loanstatus}}}
  • Arrival Date: {{{arrived}}}
  • Location: {{{location}}}
  • Functional Status: {{{status}}}
  • Usage Permissions: {{{permission}}}
  • Certification: {{{certification}}}

It also adds the page to Category:Tools no longer at Protospace, but not Category:Tools. (The former is a subcategory of the latter, so you can still find removed tools by browsing the category tree.)
