There is a difference between two template types: Templates and Page Templates

Understanding templates and page templates[edit | edit source]

In this wiki, there are two types of templates: "Templates" and "Page Templates".

Templates are content elements that can be inserted on a page (similar to text blocks "snippets" or macros). Changes to templates will be applied to all pages that use the template.

Page templates, on the other hand, are selected before creating a new page, bringing with them already a given content. This usually makes sense to already specify a structure. They provide the new page with a predefined content. This provides the page editor with a structure for the new page. However, this is always changeable and structure serves more as a guideline, since it can be changed by anyone who subsequently edits the page. Changes to a page template will not affect pages that have originally been created with this page template.


Working with templates[edit | edit source]

Templates allow content and content items (such as colored boxes) to be easily integrated into a page. The definition of the block is stored on a separate page, which must be stored reside in the 'namespace Templates' namespace. For example, this one template defines an info box with an icon and coloringcustom text styling: 

                    <div id="box-info" style="width: 98%; margin: 20px 0; border: solid 2px #a9a9a9; padding: 8px; background-color: #cfd0d0;">
[[Image:Icon-info.png]]<span style="text-transform: uppercase; margin-left: 5px; color: #a9a9a9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Info</span><div style="color: #000;">
{{{Info Text}}}
</div>
</div>

To use this box in a page, just insert the template with {{Box_Info|Info Text = }}. After the "=" the text can be entered, which should then appear in the box. Let's take this sample text:"This box shows us how we can use templates in the wiki."

Result:

Icon-info.pngInfo

This box shows us how we can use templates in the wiki.



The whole thing is still easy if you simply call the template wizard in the editor via "Paste" and simply search, select and insert the template.

embedding page templates[edit | edit source]

Page templates are great for recurring structures. For example, in Weekly Meeting Logsmeeting minutes or work instructions, they provide a consistent set-upsetup. The predefined structure makes it easier for the creator to store the information without forgetting a topic.

These templates are created like normal pages. For organizational reasons, it makes sense to assign these pages to the namespace Template. But this is not necessarily necessary. Create required. You can create the page as usual usually with headings, table, checkboxes or lists, already assigned categories, etc.

In order for the template to be offered when creating a new page, this To function as a page template for new pages, this page must first be activated as a template in the Template Manager. Here you specify how the template should be named, can write a description and name and description. In addition, you define in which namespaces the template should be is available for selection. If a user creates a new page in one of these namespaces, he will not only receive see the standard default "blank page" but also the corresponding templates for selection, can select these and fill them with contentavailable custom page templates.
