new templates, new categories

[aethel]

I created some new infobox templates (and categories to go with them). Some of them are in use, some I was unsure about. If you have an opinion on what fields to include, etc., speak now! Or later! But it'll be more work later.

1. Brand-new, never used wiki template, for wiki articles about wikis! (Such as....) Category:Wikis
2. Fanart template, never used. Category:Artworks??
3. Fancomic template, never used. Category:Fan Comics? Or maybe Category:Artworks for now?--I'm not sure how many articles we have.
4. Academic commentary template, for articles about peer-reviewed articles, etc. Used once so far! Category:Academic Commentaries.
5. News Media Commentary template, used once. There was a brief discussion about the wording/scope for this, so the category hasn't been created yet.

You can see newly created categories here.

Thank you for making the template.

As for unused fields: it's Gaylin who makes our infoboxes, since she knows far more wiki mark-up than I do. Or, more accurately, it used to be only Gaylin; but she isn't very active now, and hasn't been for some while. I therefore cobbled this one together from bits of old ones. (And certainly made at least one mistake.)

I can't, therefore, say for sure what bit of mark-up produces the ability to hide the unused fields. However, looking at the source code in the edit box, I noticed this. If it is familiar to you and not what you want, then I can't help further. The use of other bits of code seems likely to me, though, and clearly different; and this one is quite obscure, but possible.

{{#if:{{{CODE<includeonly>|</includeonly>}}} |

It's located at the beginning of each entry, so that (in the FK Wiki template) the bit for the line where you insert the abbreviation reads:

{{#if:{{{abbrev<includeonly>|</includeonly>}}} |
{{!}}style="background-color: #DDD;"{{!}}'''Abbreviations'''
{{!}}{{{abbrev}}}
{{!}}-
}}

Is that the right bit? It's quite a useful feature, especially when there's a lot you can't fill in.
