Notes for use

[edit | edit source]

For all of these templates, you'll have to use html markup to insert lists. Wikimarkup won't render properly. I'm trying to get it fixed.

More info on html lists: m:Help:List

Regional Note
To call this template, use: {{FA Regional Note|text for the note goes here}}

This is going to be used for bringing attention to region or country-specific info. For example, when we talk about calling EMS, it might be noted that it's 911 in N. America, but ___ elsewhere, and may not be available at all in some areas.

To call this template, use {{FA Regional Note Left|text for the note goes here}}

This is the same as the one above, but aligned left instead.

Best Practice
To call this template, use: {{FA Best Practice|text for the note goes here}}

This template will be used to highlight the best way of doing something when there are multiple methods available. For example, using a "log cabin" is probably better than a "doughnut bandage."

This template will be used to indicate danger to the rescuer. For example, failing to don gloves.
