Version	Short icon	Long icon
CMS 1.0	{{JVer|1.0}}:	{{JVer|1.0|Joomla 1.0|long}}:
CMS 1.5	{{JVer|1.5}}:	{{JVer|1.5|Joomla 1.5|long}}:
CMS 1.6	{{JVer|1.6}}:	{{JVer|1.6|Joomla 1.6|long}}:
CMS 1.7	{{JVer|1.7}}:	{{JVer|1.7|Joomla 1.7|long}}:
CMS 2.5	{{JVer|2.5}}:	{{JVer|2,5|Joomla 2.5|long}}:
CMS 3.x	{{JVer|3.x}}:	{{JVer|3.x|Joomla 3.x|long}}:
CMS 3.0	{{JVer|3.0}}:	{{JVer|3.0|Joomla 3.0|long}}:

By default the alt tag generated will be the same as the version number, prefixed with the word "Joomla". You can override this default by adding a second parameter. For example, to get an alt tag of "Only available in Joomla 1.5" you should use {{JVer|1.5|Only available in Joomla 1.5}} which produces this:

Full documentation on the JVer template can be found here.

You can also use the {{JVer/multi}} Template to place multiple version icons.

Versions	Short icon	Long icon
CMS Versions	{{JVer/multi|1.0,1.5}}:	{{JVer/multi|1.6,1.7,2.5|Joomla Version|long}}:
Platform	{{JVer/multi|11.1,11.2}}:	Not Available
Mix CMS/Platform	{{JVer/multi|1.7,11.2}}:	Not Available

For more information on use, specifically the long version icon use, please see, {{JVer/multi}}

Table of Contents¶

You will get a table of contents(TOC) box on each page by default as soon as you make 4 or more headings and subheadings on the page. As an example, please look at the one you see on this page. The default table of contents box is located on the right and text will flow around it.

• You can force the table of contents in the location you add the text: __TOC__
• Alternatively, you can suppress the table of contents box by adding anywhere on the page: __NOTOC__

Shortcuts, Links & Navigation¶

Some URLs can become utterly long, some are ugly, and some are just tedious to type over and over again. Adding categories to a page can become equally annoying.

To simplify your job try some of the following templates. Similar to the interwikis, they're true keystroke-savers:

• {{jsite|keyword}}, for example:

{{jsite}} = www.joomla.org

{{jsite|forum}} = forum.joomla.org

{{jsite|ext}} = extensions.joomla.org. For more see {{jsite}}.

• {{jforum|keyword}}, shortcuts for the many Working Group fora, i.e.

{{jforum}} = forum.joomla.org

{{jforum|doc}} = Documentation forum

{{jforum|devdoc}} = Developer Documentation forum. For more see {{jforum}}.
