![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:FAQ2. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used to create a list of frequently asked questions with collapsed answers.
Usage

; if set to no, then the edit link, question mark image and header text are suppressed; this is useful when stacking multiple templates
|title=title text
; defaults to Frequently Asked Questions
|header=header text
; defaults as shown above
|q1=question 1
- thru
|q20=question 20
|a1=answer 1

|a20=answer 20
Creating the FAQ page
The best practice is to create the FAQ as a subpage of an article talk page, such as Talk:Foo/FAQ. The subpage can be created and preloaded by:
- Edit the main talk page or any section
- Insert {{FAQ2/c}} anywhere
- Click on Preview
- Click on Create FAQ
- The FAQ subpage will open in edit mode with the preloaded template
- Fill in the template and Save
- Browse back to the main talk page and include the FAQ by adding {{/FAQ}}
If the /FAQ page already exists, it will be opened for editing but not preloaded. The preload code at Template:FAQ2/Preload can be copied and pasted as needed.
Examples
- Simple FAQ
{{FAQ2 |q1=Question 1 |a1=Answer 1 |q2=Question 2 |a2=Answer 2 }}
