Template:ISSMIB/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:ISSMIB. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
No, this template is not ISS Men in Black[disambiguation needed], it's a single place to put data that is identical for every ISS Module which needs updating from time to time. Makes it a lot easier, you change it here, and it's updated across the lot, but often not immediately as there is Wikipedia lag when articles are cached and assembled, so check back the next day, or open a page to edit then save with no changes to update and rebuild that page.
Example, edit this template then add a value in the same way ISSdeorbitdate was added, then anywhere it's needed, add
{{ISSMIB|ISS|ISSdeorbitdate}}
to get
approximately 2028
then, go back and change the 'approximately 2028' when required, and it'll update across all articles.
