== Usage ==
This template is intended to be used on all tool pages (except pages of tools that are no longer at Protospace—those should use [[Template:EquipmentPage removed]]). Follow the procedure outlined on the [[Adding New Tools Procedure]] page to add a page for a new tool.
How to use this template to add a new piece of equipment:
 
{{EquipmentPage|toolname=Name of the tool|model=Make/Model of equipment|serial=Serial Number (if applicable)|owner=Original Owner/Donator|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=Is it functional or does it need fixing (supplement with notes in comments if so)|permission=Private, Ask Owner First, Open to Full Members, Open to Members & Friends, or Open to All|certification=Self-Taught or Certification Required}}
The template's syntax is as follows:
</noinclude>
<pre><nowiki>
{{EquipmentPage
| 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.)
}}
</nowiki></pre>
 
It generates the following on the tool page:
<table border="1"><tr><td>
[[Tools_We_Have|Back to list of Tools We Have]]


{| style="border:solid #aaa 0px; margin:0px; font-size:100%; background:#ffffff; width:0px; padding:1em; text-align:absmiddle; float:right; clear:right;"
{| style="border:solid #aaa 0px; margin:0px; font-size:100%; background:#ffffff; width:0px; padding:1em; text-align:absmiddle; float:right; clear:right;"

<includeonly>[[Category:Tools]]</includeonly> <!-- This category is includeonlyed, so this template page should not be in the category. However, this template page transcludes itself and so ends up in the category. Using {{documentation}} (from meta.wikimedia.org) to provide the documentation on this page should fix it. Alternatively, {{#ifeq}} could be used to do it in a simpler way. Both of these would require installing MediaWiki extensions, which requires admin access to the server. -->
