Trait Template

From BIF Guidelines Wiki
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Each trait (e.g., birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, etc.) will be described on its own wiki page. Authors who are tasked with writing a trait page may find it useful to use a small template that we have developed. The template provides a standard set of subsections and instructions.

Loading the template

Authors should be provided with a URL for the redlink (link to a yet to be created page) to the trait's new page.

  1. Click on the redlink. It will take you to a blank edit screen.
  2. In the URL link at the top of the browser you will need to add the following to the end of the URL and press enter,
&preload=Template:Trait

The edit page should reload with the Template. It contains comments and section headings. For an example of a completed trait page see Weaning Weight.
