Usage

This is a template for any publicly-available tool at the Asylum. This template provides information about:

  • Tool specifications
  • Where this tool is
  • How this tool fits into the Asylum's tool training system
  • What tools are available at the Asylum

This is achieved through a MediaWiki-based system described in Help:Tools, Training, and Testing.

Example

{{ToolBox
|tool_title         = Millers Falls HD1234
|tool_subtitle      = Hand drill
|image              = Pic_unrelated_zebra.jpg
|caption            = This is not a picture of the drill
|make               = Millers Falls
|model              = HD1234
|serial             = 48
|manufacturer_specs = [https://somewhere.com/product.html From manufacturer]
|manual             = [https://somewhere.com/manual.html From manufacturer]
|location           = Woodworking
|rubric             = {{{rubric|N/A}}}
|training           = {{{training|N/A}}}
|testing            = {{{testing|N/A}}}
|restrictions       = {{{red|green}}}
|tool_categories    = [[Category: Drills]]
}}

Special Fields

There are several fields that require special consideration in this template.

Species


The species field refers to a wiki category (minus the Category: part of the identifier) for the correct tool species. This will indicate the Asylum training information for the tool. If you don't know the proper value for this field, don't include this line.

{{ToolBox
  |species = Vertical Band Saws
}}

Location

The location field refers to a wiki category (minus the Category: part of the identifier) for the correct Shop. This will place a listing for the tool on that Shop category page. If you don't know the proper value for this field, don't include this line.

{{ToolBox
  |location = Woodworking
}}

Tool Categories

When tools are permanently removed from the Asylum, they are switched to the ToolBox-Gone Template. This is as simple as changing the name of the template.

Using the template system is the easiest way to remove decommissioned tools from category listings on the wiki. Put the categories inside the template instead of listing the categories at the bottom of the article. Only the main ToolBox template will apply the categories, which means less editing to keep everything accurate.

{{ToolBox
  |tool_categories = [[Category:Woodworking Tools]] [[Category:Sanding Tools]]
}}

In the above example, the tool would be placed into the Woodworking Tools and Sanding Tools categories and removed from those categories when the template is switched from ToolBox to ToolBox-Gone.

Do not add the tool species nor the shop category names to the tool_categories field because it will cause inaccuracies in category listings.

Adds an easily scannable information block to a tool page.
