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

This template uses TemplateStyles: Template:Help button/styles.css[e]

This template is used to create a "help button" that links to WP:Help button. It is also used to create the buttons in WP:Help button and its subpages, including a "back" button. The template 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, welcome template, or other appropriate location.

Result: Help!

With parameters, the template can be used to create buttons for WP:Help button and its subpages.

With parameter |back=, the template can be used to create a specially-styled "back" button. A target page must be specified.

Format: {{Help button |back |[target page]}}

Example: {{Help button |back |WP:Help button}}

Default styling is contained in the {{help button}} template code, but it can be overridden. This ensures that all buttons using {{help button}} look the same throughout the WP:Help button 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}}.
