This template is used to lay out questions and answers for Arbitration Committee Elections candidate questions pages (e.g. "Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2022/Candidates/CandidateUserNameHere/Questions")
Usage
One instance of the template is used for each Q&A (usually a maximum of two): If more than one, they must be back-to-back, without a blank line between them, or incorrect numbering will result:
{{ACE Question
|Q=What is your name?
|A=
}}
{{ACE Question
|Q=What is your quest?
|A=
}}
The candidate, when responding, adds their answer in the |A= parameter.
Parameters
|Q=– Mandatory, and with content in it. This is where to write your question for the candidate.|A=– Mandatory, and blank when the template is inserted by the question-asker. This is where the candidate will write their answer to your question.|Sub=– Optional. This is for asking sub-questions, to respond to previous answers. Possible values are|Sub=2or|Sub=3
When |Sub= is used, the results look like the following:
{{ACE Question
|Q=A first question.
|A=An answer.
}}
{{ACE Question
|Q=Another question, in response to the first answer.
|A=A response, elaborating further.
|Sub=2
}}
{{ACE Question
|Q=Another question, in response to the elaboration.
|A=Another response.
|Sub=3
}}
- A first question.
- An answer.
-
- Another question, in response to the first answer.
- A response, elaborating further.
- Another question, in response to the first answer.
-
- Another question, in response to the elaboration.
- Another response.
- Another question, in response to the elaboration.
Troubleshooting
Because this uses a bunch of nested wikicode for list layout, it is fairly easy to break, e.g. by including wikimarkup-coded tables in a question or answer, etc. One example might be attempting to use {{Collapse}} (a table-based template) in an answer, which will just fail dramatically. The variant {{Collapse/HTML}} exists, which should work better.
However, something like that can still mess up the list code, for subsequent Q&As:
- Mis-numbering:
-
If you find the numbering is not correct, you can manually adjust the start point of the list item by using
|list resume=value. When|list resume=is used, the results look like the following:{{ACE Question |Q=A first question. |A=An answer. }} {{ACE Question |Q=Another question, in response to the first answer. |A=A response, elaborating further. |list resume=20 }} {{ACE Question |Q=Another question, in response to the elaboration. |A=Another response. |list resume=30 }}
- A first question.
- An answer.
- Another question, in response to the first answer.
- A response, elaborating further.
- Another question, in response to the elaboration.
- Another response.
- A first question.
- Mis-indentation:
- If you find that the second or later Q&A is indenting too far for some reason, this probably means that some markup in the first Q or A content confused the parsing of the list code. Try inserting a
</ol>immediately after the}}that closes the first Q&A template (or the second one if there are three Q&As and only the third is indenting too far. - Mis-listing:
- If you are a trying to use a list inside your question or answer, and it's messing up the whole Q&A appearance, try replacing your embedded list wikimarkup with raw HTML equivalents:
<ul><li>...</li><li>...</li></ul>for an unordered (bulleted) list; or<ol><li>...</li><li>...</li></ol>for an ordered (numbered) list.
