Improved version of {{Tabs}}. Instead of editing all the pages that are in the tabs this works by making specific tab bar as its own template for chosen pages.

  • {{{main}}} - This template will look for defined tab bar at Template:TabsBar/{{{main}}} and if it exist it will get transcluded. If it doesn't exist it will create a link you can click to create the tab bar predefined by following preload Template:TabsBar/preload.

Tab bar creation process:

  1. place {{TabsBar}} on main page (this should be page that has no ' (<engine/game>)' suffix in its link meaning its page for Source engine topic)
  2. click show preview which will show you page create link with preloaded text at Template:TabsBar/<full page name>
  3. click the link it shows and follow instruction shown by preload
  4. put {{TabsBar|main=case sensitive name of the created tab bar}} on other related pages

use examples:


  • {{{base}}} - to be used with following presets:
{{TabsBar/gs}} - usage {{TabsBar|main=gs|base=xxx}} - For entities in GoldSrc and Source 1, where page names are 'xxx (GoldSrc)', 'xxx'
{{TabsBar/s2}} - usage {{TabsBar|main=s2|base=xxx}} - For entities in Source 1 and Source 2, where pages name are 'xxx', 'xxx (Source 2)'
{{TabsBar/gs2}} - usage {{TabsBar|main=gs2|base=xxx}} - For entities in GoldSrc, Source 1 and Source 2, where page names are 'xxx (GoldSrc)', 'xxx', 'xxx (Source)'
{{TabsBar/hls}} - usage {{TabsBar|main=hls|base=xxx}} - For entities in GoldSrc and Half-Life: Source (also in Half-Life Deathmatch: Source), but no other Source 1 games, where page names are 'xxx (GoldSrc)', 'xxx (Half-Life: Source)'
