Alternative usage

The template has two forms depending on what pages are missing:

  • Appearance 1 text will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.
  • Appearance 2 text will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages).

Appearance 1

  • The text below will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.

There is no Metadata template for this page. Please create the "metadata template". (if this is due to a page move see instructions at the bottom)

Subpages format requires a metadata page

Using the following instructions will complete the process of creating this articles subpages! For background, see Using the Subpages template. However, you can create articles without subpages. Really! Just delete the {{subpages}} template from the top of this page and this prompt will disappear. :) Don't feel obligated to use subpages, it's more important that you write sentences, which you can always do without writing fancy code.

(1) In the box below, replace "ARTICLE_NAME" with the new article name, making sure that you leave "Template:" and "/Metadata" around the new name.


(2) On the page that appears after pressing the button, put the title in again across from pagename =
You might also fill out the checklist part of the form. Ignore the rest. See this page if you're curious about why this is important. Don't worry--you'll get the hang of it right away.
(3) Then save. You can link back to the article using the subpages tabs that appear at the top of the back.
[Feel free to improve this templates text and links]

Due to a page move

This template may appear after a page move. In that case the old subpages and metadata template also need to be moved to the new name. They can usually be found at the following link.

Appearance 2

  • The text below will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages). This is transcluded from the template {{Orphan subpage}}.
