This is a documentation subpage for Template:DYK help. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to create a WP:DYK "help button" that links to WP:DYK help. It is also used to create the buttons in WP:DYK help and its subpages, including a "back" button. The template is based on {{help button}} and uses {{Clickable button}}.

Without any parameters, the template creates a help button. This button can be placed anywhere that might be helpful, such as on a user talk page, template, or other appropriate location.

Code:{{DYK help}}

Result: DYK help

Default styling is contained in the {{DYK help}} template code, but it can be overridden. This ensures that all buttons using {{DYK help}} look the same throughout the WP:DYK help tree of subpages, while still allowing custom styling when needed.

|class= specifies one of three accessible colors used by {{Clickable button}}:

• |class=neutral creates a gray button
• |class=destructive creates a red button
• If no |class= is specified, the default is |class=progressive, which creates a blue button

|style= can specify a CSS style. For more information, see the documentation at {{Clickable button}}.
