Parameter
| Parameter | Bezeichnung | Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | newfrom | New from | Date
(Format: yyyy-mm-dd) |
Optional. Time at which the "new" label should appear. If no date is specified, the "new" label is displayed immediately. |
| 2 | newuntil | New until | Date
(Format: yyyy-mm-dd) |
Mandatory. Each "new" lable requires an end date until which the change is marked as "new." |
| 3 | newtext | Description | Text | Mandatory. Description of the content change. The description can be linked in a list of all new content (default). |
| 4 | pagemarker | Page marker | Boolean | Optional. The value can be set to 1 or 0. If the value is set to 1, the “new” label is not generated on the page, but it does appear in the list. In this case, the template is typically placed at the top of the page rather than next to a heading. |
Marking New Content
This is how you mark a section of a page as “new”:
- In the visual editor, go to Insert Template and add the New Template at the end of a section heading.
- Enter the parameters.
- Save the page.
The "new" label is displayed to users until the specified end date.
Removing the Label
Although the label is no longer displayed after the end date has passed, the template remains embedded on the page. It can be removed manually at any time. A list of all pages containing labels can be found on the Template:New page.
In edit mode, expired labels are shown in gray.
Listing New Content
A list of all labels with links to the corresponding pages can be generated on any wiki page using the following semantic query:
{{#ask:[[New/until::>>{{#time:Y-m-d|now - 1 day}}]]
|?New/from
|?New/until
|?New/text
|format=plainlist
|template=New/format
|link=none
|default=There are no announced changes.
}}
