Templates

[edit | edit source]
Main article: w:Help:A quick guide to templates

Templates are a way of replicating common page elements by "hiring" those elements from a specialized page in such a way that when the "master" is edited, all articles borrowing from the template will automatically incorporate those changes. See Category:Templates for a list of templates.

Templates are created in the 'Template:' namespace. Once created, they may be transcluded by placing the name of the template within double braces ({{Template Name}}). Inside a template, parameters may be utilized. Inside a template definition, use triple braces to substitute a parameter ({{{parameterName}}}), and inside the template transclusion, add |parameterName=parameterValue between the name of the template and the closing double brace.

Inside a template's definition, various parser functions may be used to control output. These usually have direct programmatical equivalents, such as #if:, #vardefine:, and #switch:. See w:mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions for documentation on those.

Example

[edit | edit source]
Definition: "Template:Sandbox"
This is a {{{type}}}. {{#if: {{{message|}}} | Your message is: {{{message}}}. | No message provided! }}
Transclusion
{{Sandbox|type=Test|message=Hello world}}
Output
This is a Test. Your message is: Hello world.
