About this template

Template:Modality is the summary box at the top of every modality page. It also adds the page to Category:Modalities.

You don't usually need to add it yourself: pages created with the box on Compass:Adding a modality start with it already in place (from Template:Modality/Preload).

Usage

{{Modality
| also_known_as = Other names, separated by commas
| traditions    = Traditions or lineages it draws on
| related       = [[Related modality]], [[Another one]]
| status        = Proposed
| approved      = 
| next_review   = 
}}

Fields

Field What to put in it
name Optional. The heading of the box; leave it out to use the page name.
also_known_as Other names the modality is known by.
traditions The traditions or lineages it draws on.
related Links to related modality pages.
status Where the page is up to: Proposed, In consultation, Approved or Under review. Blank shows as Proposed.
approved The date the description was first approved (e.g. 11 October 2026). Set by an approver.

Rows with nothing in them are hidden. The status field describes the consultation stage only: which version readers see is decided by an approver approving it.
