Template:Scroll page/preload/doc

Purpose
This template is designed to be preloaded in the edit form when creating scroll pages.

It builds a standard structure, according to Scrolls Wiki:Scroll pages, that any scroll page should follow.

It also contains boilerplates for most information that contributors would want to include in different scroll pages. However, contributors should not leave all of them, because they can't all apply to a single scroll. For this reason, each boilerplate is labeled (i.e. surrounded by &lt;!-- BEGIN [X] --&gt; and &lt;!-- END [X] --&gt;, where X is the boilerplate label) which allows an edit notice to refer to boilerplates individually and give some instructions about each of them (see Usage).

Usage
This template should not be transcluded.

Besides being preloaded, this template should also be displayed with Template:Scroll page/preload/editintro as an edit notice.

To preload an edit form with the content of this template and display aforementioned edit notice, you can:
 * use the text field in above message box, or
 * open the edit form of a nonexistent page and add &preload=Template:Scroll page/preload&editintro=Template:Scroll page/preload/editintro at the end of the URL.

Remember that preloading only works with nonexistent pages.

Examples
Enter the name of a nonexistent page in the text field of the above message box and press "Preload page". The content of this template will be preloaded in the edit form.

Do not press "Save page" unless you actually want to create that page. However, feel free to press "Show preview".
