A Wiki Template is a Wiki Article that can be inserted in other articles. You can use templates to define common content that will be included in multiple articles (for instance a disclaimer, or instructions, or guidelines), and then when you want to include that content in an article, you simply reference the template.
You can insert a template into a Wiki Article by using the special BBCode TEMPLATE. The syntax for the Template BBCode is:
PHP Code:
[template]Template Name[/template]
Wiki Templates support named and numbered parameters. The syntax is as follows:
PHP Code:
[template]Template Name|arg1|arg2|arg3|arg4[/template]
Where arg1, arg2, etc, are the values for the corresponding parameters.
To use named parameters use the following syntax:
PHP Code:
[template]Template Name|name1=value1|name2=value2[/template]
In the body of a Template, you can use the arguments passed in by using this syntax:
PHP Code:
{{{argname|default}}}
Where:
- argname is the name of the argument (or the argument number if using numbered parameters);
- default is optional, and specifies the value if the template were to be instantiated without the corresponding parameter.
