Technical
[edit]Templates
[edit]- {{Ask a question navbox}} – the navbox, which in turn uses {{portal navigation}}.
- {{Ask button}} – for Ask a question (enhanced by the wrcEditor gadget described below);
- {{Ask button/preload}} – sophisticated preload used to emulate the functionality of the gadget.
- {{AAQ view discussion}} – used for "view discussion" links so that they don't need to be repeatedly translated.
Gadgets
[edit]- MediaWiki:Gadget-wrcEditor.js provides interface for posting questions and responses for Ask a question.
- Interface messages: Template:i18n/Ask a question (these are translatable!).
Other
[edit]- The ask a question system makes significant use of labeled section transclusion, which is somewhat obscure.
Translation
[edit]Interface messages are stored on Template:i18n/Ask a question and can be translated through the Translate interface.
