Authorization Course Info Box Template

How to create a new authorization info box

Step 1:

Create a new child page under Authorizations using the title of the authorization course. Do not stick "auth" or "authorization" in the name. Note that a single authorization course page is all that's needed to cover multiple tools. To make a new page quickly, type in the name at the end of the URL to the Authorizations...

https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Authorizations/Hot_Air_Balloon

Create the page.

Step 2:

From the Insert menu select Template. Type in AuthorizationCourseInfo and select AuthorizationCourseInfo...

File:VisualEditor Template Insert Menu-en.png

If you don't see the Insert menu, switch over to the visual editor...

If you want to use the code editor, scroll down to find what to copy and paste.

Step 3:

Fill out the template form. Authorization Course Name, Authorizer Name, and Schedule Frequency are required fields. Check mark optional fields on the left as needed.

Insert the template.

Description of each field can be found at the end of this page. Refer to this example if you want some inspiration...

EXAMPLE:

Authorization Course Info

Hot Air Balloon

Authorizer: Jane Hacker
Schedule Frequency: Roughly once a week
Discord Channel: #aviation-club
Prerequisites: Completed auth for Parachute
Step 1: Complete the Canvas course
Step 2: Use Canvas to schedule with the next available in-person auth
Step 3: Complete the in-person auth
Required Materials: Aviator goggles, cape, propane.
Notes: Will be rescheduled if there's bad weather.
Tools covered:

Authorizations (transclusion) (← links)
Hot Air Balloon (transclusion) (← links)
Template:AuthorizationCourseInfo (← links)
Template:AuthorizationCourseInfo/doc (← links)

Edit this auth
Copy and paste this into the tool's wiki page
after the Template:EquipmentPage template.

Auth info last updated by Rubin110 on March 29, 2025.

Note that the 'Tools covered section will later autopopulate with every page that uses a copy of this Authorization Course Info page.

Step 4:

Save the page. Do not include any other content on the page.

Once the page loads, click on the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the Authorization Course Info box, and copy the insert page code.

Copy and pasta this into the appropriate area section of Authorizations

{{Template:ToolAuthorization
|authslug = 
|authorization_name = 
|authorizer = 
|schedule_frequency = 
|discord_channel_link = 
|discord_channel_name = 
|prerequisites = 
|step1 = 
|step2 = 
|step3 = 
|step4 = 
|step5 = 
|required_materials = 
|notes = 
}}
<!-- List off links to tool pages that this auth is required for -->
[[Tool page]], [[Tool page]]

Finally save the Authorizations page

Linking to the blue authorization info box from tool pages

Once the updated Authorizations loads, under the blue authorization box you just created you'll see "Wiki snippet for admins: [Expand]. Click on this, copy the snippet code, and paste it into the tool's page under the Template:EquipmentPage template. Save that page and you'll see the blue authorization box there.
