Notes for help screen editors[edit]
- Layout of a typical Help Screen
- Overview of Help screen chunks
For usage information and examples see the following templates:- {{colheader|Column name}} includes one of the Help screen column header XYZ chunks
- {{toolbaricon|Action name}} is for Help screen toolbar XYZ
- {{cpanelicon|Icon name}} is for Help screen icon XYZ
- for proper categorisation read the instructions of Template:cathelp (talk, backlinks, edit)
- Content editors

- {{Chunk:No editor}} for No editor
- Did you notice a mistake or do think it's useful to add some extra information? You're welcome to modify the Help Screen. Please change the status of the modified Help Screen after you modified it:
- Is the status at the moment 'Ready' or 'To be moved'? Change it to 'Modified by [name]' (replace [name] for your username at the Joomla! Docs Wiki)
- Is the status at the moment 'To be reviewed'? You don't have to change the status in that case.
