Documentation for Template:NewsList

This documentation provides information on how to use the `NewsList` template, which displays a sorted list of events from the `GlobalEvents` page in a formatted table. The table will have two columns and will be styled to occupy 100% width with horizontal scrolling for overflow content.

Template Code

{{#invoke:NewsList|generateTable
  | rows = {{{rows|}}}
}}

Parameters

  • rows: The number of rows to display in the table. If not specified, all events will be displayed.

Usage

To use this template on a wiki page, add the following code:

{{NewsList | rows=5}}

This will automatically fetch the data from the `GlobalEvents` page, sort the events by date (newest first), and display the specified number of rows in a two-column format.

Example

If you want to display 10 rows of events, use:

{{NewsList | rows=10}}

This template relies on the `Module:NewsList` to function correctly. Ensure that the module is correctly implemented and available on your wiki.

Notes

  • The `NewsList` template fetches events from the `GlobalEvents` page. Ensure that the `GlobalEvents` page is properly formatted with event data.
  • The table is styled to occupy 100% width and allows horizontal scrolling if the content overflows.
