If you have standard texts you want to include on several pages, the MediaWiki template feature comes into play. Templates are wiki pages which can be used in other pages in three ways:

  • {{Name}} includes the current content of the page "Template:Name".
  • {{subst:Name}} inserts the content of the page "Template:Name" when you save your text.
  • {{msgnw:Name}} includes the template in raw wiki syntax, like <nowiki> does

Templates must be prefixed with Template, you create them like any other wiki page.

Parameters
