Calling the template currently:
# Auto-categorises pages to be members of [[:Category:How To]]
# Corrects the sortkey: telling the system that [[VLC HowTo/Adjust audio delay]] ought to be filed as "'''A'''djust audio delay" (A) and not "'''V'''LC HowTo/Adjust audio delay" (V).
# Displays a message '''(optional)'''
#* If the first unnamed parameter is specified (e.g. {{<nowiki />howto|do something}}) a message will be shown similar to the above.
#* Alternately, ''not'' passing anything to the first parameter (e.g. {{<nowiki />howto}}) suppresses the message altogether—however, the template still auto-categorises and auto-sorts.

This page describes how to {{{1}}}. Other "how to" pages

Usage

Calling the template currently:

  1. Auto-categorises pages to be members of Category:How To
  2. Corrects the sortkey: telling the system that VLC HowTo/Adjust audio delay ought to be filed as "Adjust audio delay" (A) and not "VLC HowTo/Adjust audio delay" (V).
  3. Displays a message (optional)
    • If the first unnamed parameter is specified (e.g. {{howto|do something}}) a message will be shown similar to the above.
    • Alternately, not passing anything to the first parameter (e.g. {{howto}}) suppresses the message altogether—however, the template still auto-categorises and auto-sorts.
