Templates follow a convention that the name is prefixed with "<code>Template:</code>", assigning it to that <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces">namespace</a>; besides this, you can <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Starting_a_new_page" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Starting a new page">create them like any other wiki page</a>. </p><p>To transclude a template, you used double open & close curly brackets <code>{{template name}}</code>. </p><p>The simplest use of templates is as follows: Create a page called <code>Template:Welcome</code> with the content below: </p> <pre>Hello! Welcome to the wiki. </pre> <p>You have created your first template! Now, insert the code below in a new page: </p> <pre>{{Welcome}} </pre> <p>When the new page is viewed, the text "Hello! Welcome to the wiki." will appear instead of <code>{{Welcome}}</code>. The template content is <b>transcluded</b> into the other page, i.e., it is integrated in the page. </p><p>You can then insert <code>{{Welcome}}</code> at any point of any page where you wish to welcome someone. Suppose it is used in 100 pages. If you then change the template contents to: </p> <pre>Hi there! Welcome to this wonderful wiki. </pre> <p>And revisit any of the 100 pages where the template was used, you'll see the new text instead of the original one. In this way, you have changed the content of 100 pages without editing them, because the template is transcluded into these pages. </p><p>This is the basic mechanism. There are several additional features of transclusion that enrich this mechanism and make templates very useful. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Usage"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Ways_to_invoke_a_template" data-mw-thread-id="h-Ways_to_invoke_a_template"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Ways_to_invoke_a_template"></span>Ways to invoke a template<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Ways_to_invoke_a_template"></span></h2></div> <p>Templates can be used in other pages in these ways: </p> <ul><li><code>{{Name}}</code> — As described above, this text (commonly referred to as a "template call") will be <i>dynamically</i> replaced by the content of the page titled Template:Name (a process called "transclusion") every time the page with the template call is <b>loaded</b> (i.e., viewed by a reader of the wiki). Because the template call remains in the pages's source, any subsequent change to Template:Name will be seen on the page containing the template call. Also, the page will be listed among those that "link to" the template.</li> <li><code>{{subst:Name}}</code> — When this type of template call is used, it will be replaced by a <i>static copy</i> of the content of Template:Name as of the time the page containing the template call is <b>saved</b>. That is, a copy of the contents of Template:Name will be <i>substituted</i> for the template call. No link is maintained between the page and the template, so each can be edited further without affecting the other. In effect, there is little difference between substituting the content in this way and simply typing it into the page's source "manually". See <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Substitution" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Substitution">Help:Substitution</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Help:Substitution" title="Help:Substitution"> </a></span> for more information.</li> <li><code>{{safesubst:Name}}</code> — This was introduced to allow for recursive substitution in cases where templates contain calls to other templates or parser functions. See <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Substitution" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Substitution">Help:Substitution</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Help:Substitution" title="Help:Substitution"> </a></span> for more information.</li> <li><code>{{msgnw:Name}}</code> — This displays the template content as raw wiki syntax (the way <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">nowiki</span><span class="p">></span></code> does) when the page containing it is viewed. For example, <code>{{msgnw:Template:Thankyou}}</code> displays:</li></ul> <p><noinclude> <languages/> </noinclude> '''A little thank you...''' for {{{reason|{{{1}}}}}}. hugs, {{{signature|{{{2}}}}}} <noinclude> [[Category:Template examples{{#translation:}}|{{PAGENAME}}]] </noinclude> </p><p>In fact, an ordinary wiki page can also be used as a template, simply by specifying the namespace it resides in, so: </p> <ul><li><code>{{Template:Pagename}}</code> transcludes the page titled Template:Pagename (equivalent to <code>{{Pagename}}</code>)</li> <li><code>{{Talk:Pagename}}</code> transcludes the page titled Talk:Pagename</li> <li><code>{{:Pagename}}</code> transcludes the page titled Pagename (i.e., in the main namespace) <ul><li><code>{{subst::Pagename}}</code> substitutes the contents of the page titled Pagename</li></ul></li></ul> <p>If the specified namespace doesn't exist, the full title is assumed to be a template: </p> <ul><li><code>{{Foo:Bar}}</code> transcludes Template:Foo:Bar</li></ul> <p>Regardless of what syntax is used, the name of the template can be relative to the current page For example, if <code>{{/bar}}</code> is called on page foo, it will transclude the page foo/bar. </p><p>It can also be generated dynamically. For example, <code>{{ {{foo}} }}</code> calls Template:foo and interprets the result as the name of another template to call. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Parameters" data-mw-thread-id="h-Parameters"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Parameters"></span>Parameters<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Parameters"></span></h2></div> <p>To enrich the mechanism of transclusion, MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to a template when it is transcluded. Parameters allow the template to produce different contents or have different behaviors. </p><p>Suppose you wish to insert a little thank you note in the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Talk_pages" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Talk pages">talk page</a> of other users, such as: </p><p><br/> <b>A little thank you...</b> for all your effort. hugs, Me </p><p><br/> The thank you note will have a reason (in this case, "all your effort") and a signature ("Me"). Your objective is for any user to be able to thank any other user, for any reason whatsoever. </p><p>So that the note will look similar everywhere it is used, you can define a template called <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Template:Thankyou" title="Special:MyLanguage/Template:Thankyou">Template:Thankyou</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Template:Thankyou" title="Template:Thankyou"> </a></span>, for example. Although the note should look similar whenever a user thanks another user, its specific contents (i.e., the reason and the signature) will be different. For that reason, you should pass them as parameters. If we ignore the remaining elements to format the box and place the image, the core content of the template will be this: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-moin mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="c">'''</span>A little thank you...<span class="c">'''</span> for <span class="nb">{{{</span><span class="cp">1</span><span class="nb">}}}</span>. hugs, <span class="nb">{{{</span><span class="cp">2</span><span class="nb">}}}</span> </pre></div> <p>Notice the use of <code>{{{1}}}</code> and <code>{{{2}}}</code>. This is the way to identify, within templates, the parameters that will be passed in when the template is used. Note that, within the template, each parameter is surrounded by <b>three</b> braces: <code>{{{ }}}</code>. This is different from normal template name usage. </p><p>When using the template on a page, you fill in the parameter values, separated by a "pipe" character (<code>|</code>). MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to the template in three ways: Anonymously, Numbered, and Named. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Anonymous_parameters" data-mw-thread-id="h-Anonymous_parameters-Parameters"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Anonymous_parameters-Parameters"></span>Anonymous parameters<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Anonymous_parameters-Parameters"></span></h3></div> <p>To pass in anonymous parameters, list the values of those parameters sequentially: </p> <pre>{{Thankyou|all your effort|Me}} </pre> <p>In this case, the <code>{{Thankyou}}</code> template receives parameters <code>{{{1}}}=all your effort</code> and <code>{{{2}}}=Me</code>, producing: </p><p><br/> <b>A little thank you...</b> for all your effort. hugs, Me </p><p><br/> The order in which anonymous parameters are passed in is crucial to its behavior.

In these cases, it may be useful to define <i>default</i> values for the parameters, i.e. values that will be used if no value is passed in.

Similarly, <code>{{{signature|Me}}}</code>, defaults parameter <code>{{{signature}}}</code> to value <code>Me</code>. Now, transcluding the template again without passing any argument results in the following: </p><p><br/> <b>A little thank you...</b> for everything. hugs, Me </p><p><br/> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r6651107"><div role="note" class="note note-info">The value of a parameter can be an empty string. For example, in <code>{{foo|bar=}}</code> or <code>{{foo|bar=|baz=qux}}</code>, the <code>foo</code> template considers the <code>bar</code> parameter to be <code>""</code>.

For example, if you have <code>{{{a|{{{b|}}} }}}</code>, the template will first look for a parameter named "a". If it is not set, it will use the parameter named "b".

This is useful when you want to include text or code in a template that you do not want to propagate to any pages which include it, such as: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories">Category</a> links when categorizing the template itself</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interlanguage_links" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links">interlanguage links</a> to similar templates in other languages</li> <li>Explanatory text about how to use the template. It's a common pattern on some wikis to use a template like {{<a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Template:documentation" title="Special:MyLanguage/Template:documentation">Documentation</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Template:Documentation" title="Template:Documentation"> </a></span>}} to transclude the documentation from a subpage of the template. For example, <a href="/wiki/Template:Void" title="Template:Void">Template:Void</a> is documented at <a href="/wiki/Template:Void/doc" title="Template:Void/doc">Template:Void/doc</a>.</li></ul> <p>Likewise, anything between <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">includeonly</span><span class="p">></span></code> and <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎</</span><span class="nt">includeonly</span><span class="p">></span></code> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being included, but not when the template page is being viewed directly, and is useful in situations such as: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories">Categorizing</a> pages which include the template. <b>Note:</b> when changing the categories applied by a template in this fashion, the categorization of the pages which include that template may not be updated until some time later: this is handled by the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Job_queue" title="Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Job queue">job queue</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Manual:Job_queue" title="Manual:Job queue"> </a></span>. To force the re-categorization of a particular page, open that page for editing and save it without changes.</li> <li>Ensuring that the template's code is not executed when viewing the template page itself. Typically this is because it expects parameters, and its execution without parameters has an undesired result.</li></ul> <p>Everything outside <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span></code> and <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">includeonly</span><span class="p">></span></code> is processed and displayed normally; that is, both when the template page is being viewed directly and when the template is included in another page. The focus is on what is inside these two tags. </p><p>Everything outside <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">onlyinclude</span><span class="p">></span></code> tags is discarded in the transclusion. Even sections tagged includeonly are discarded in the transclusion unless they are also tagged as onlyinclude. The focus is only on what is inside this tag. </p><p>For example, if a page like <a href="/wiki/Help:Templates/onlyinclude_demo" title="Help:Templates/onlyinclude demo">Help:Templates/onlyinclude demo</a> has the wikitext: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span>abc<span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">onlyinclude</span><span class="p">></span>def<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">onlyinclude</span><span class="p">></span>ghi<span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">includeonly</span><span class="p">></span>jkl<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">includeonly</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div> <p>The result of transcluding it is def. </p><p>Nesting of these tags is also possible. </p><p>The three partial transclusion tags enable all possible combinations of what is processed and rendered. Comments also fill a role. Inclusion tags are respected when using <code>{{subst:templatename}}</code>, but they are <b>not</b> respected when using <code>{{msgnw:templatename}}</code> as that displays the raw wikitext without any processing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Section_transclusion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Section_transclusion"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Section_transclusion"></span>Section transclusion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Section_transclusion"></span></h2></div> <p>To transclude different sections of a template on different pages, you can wrap the content in onlyinclude tags and use an if statement on parameters to select which section. </p><p>Consider "Template:Example" with this wikitext: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="gu">== Section 1 ==</span> <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nf">#ifeq</span><span class="p">:{{{</span><span class="nv">1</span><span class="p">|</span>1<span class="p">}}}|</span>1<span class="p">|</span> Content of section one. <span class="p">}}</span> <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nf">#ifeq</span><span class="p">:{{{</span><span class="nv">1</span><span class="p">|</span>2<span class="p">}}}|</span>2<span class="p">|</span> <span class="o">=</span>= Section 2 == Content of section two. <span class="p">}}</span> </pre></div> <p>This will render both sections on the example page itself, and allow other pages to transclude the first section with <code>{{example|1}}</code> and the second section with <code>{{example|2}}</code>. </p><p>Another approach is to use literal parameter syntax instead: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{{{</span><span class="nv">section1</span><span class="p">|</span> == Section 1 == Content of section one. <span class="p">}}}</span> <span class="p">{{{</span><span class="nv">section2</span><span class="p">|</span> == Section 2 == Content of section two. <span class="p">}}}</span> </pre></div> <p>Transclude the first section with <code>{{example|section2=}}</code> and the second section with <code>{{example|section1=}}</code>. If neither parameter is used, then both sections will display. </p><p>A third approach is to use <a href="/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion" title="Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion">Labeled Section Transclusion</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Organizing_templates" data-mw-thread-id="h-Organizing_templates"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Organizing_templates"></span>Organizing templates<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Organizing_templates"></span></h2></div> <p>For templates to be effective, users need to find them, and find out how to use them. </p><p>To find them, users can: </p> <ol><li>Click <b>Special pages</b> > <b>All pages</b></li> <li>In the <b>Namespace:</b> list, choose <b>Template</b> and click <b>Go</b>.</li></ol> <p>To give usage information, include an example like this one on the template page: </p> <pre><noinclude> == Usage == Welcome users: {{Thankyou|reason=your reason|signature=your signature}} </noinclude> </pre> <p>Then, an editor can simply copy and paste the example to use the template. </p><p>While editing a page, a list of all templates used is available under the editing form, in a collapsible section titled "Templates used on this page:" (also named "Templates used in this preview:", or "Templates used in this section:" depending on the context). This list provides a convenient link to the template's page, as well as information about its protection status. Redirected templates are shown in italics, with the redirect target added as a separate list item. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Linking_to_a_template" data-mw-thread-id="h-Linking_to_a_template"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Linking_to_a_template"></span>Linking to a template<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Linking_to_a_template"></span></h2></div> <p>A template page can be linked to like any other wiki page. For example, the link <a href="/wiki/Template:Navbar" title="Template:Navbar">Template:Navbar</a> is generated using the wikicode <code>[[Template:Navbar]]</code>. </p><p>On many wikis, <a href="/wiki/Template:Tl" title="Template:Tl">Template:Tl</a> can be used to provide a link to a template formatted in a way that shows the "double curly-braces" wikicode necessary to transclude the template without actually doing the tranclusion. For example, the code <code>{{tl|Navbar}}</code> may be used to create the link {{<a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Template:Navbar" title="Special:MyLanguage/Template:Navbar">Navbar</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Template:Navbar" title="Template:Navbar"> </a></span>}}. </p><p>This construct is commonly used when referring to templates in template documentation, on help pages, and on talk pages. The same effect can be achieved by using <code>{{[[Template:Navbar|Navbar]]}}</code>, but the <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Template:tl" title="Special:MyLanguage/Template:tl">Tl</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Template:Tl" title="Template:Tl"> </a></span>}}</code> approach involves much less typing. On any given wiki the Tl template, if it exists, may or may not render the text in a "code" element or as monospace type. If not (as on this wiki), another similarly named template may do so. See, for example, the <a href="/wiki/Template:Tl#See_also" title="Template:Tl">"See also" section of our Template:Tl documentation</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Template_naming" data-mw-thread-id="h-Template_naming"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Template_naming"></span>Template naming<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Template_naming"></span></h2></div> <p>The name of a template is case-sensitive excluding the first character. </p><p>You make <a href="/wiki/Help:Redirect" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Redirect">redirects</a> for alternate capitalizations. For example, if a template is named "AdminAbbr", you can create a redirect named "Adminabbr". This way, the template can be called with either <code>{{AdminAbbr}}</code> or <code>{{adminabbr}}</code>. If an editor prefers a mix of upper and lower case for clarity, they can use functions like <a href="/wiki/Help:Parser_function#LC" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Parser function">lc</a> or <a href="/wiki/Help:Parser_function#UC" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Parser function">uc</a>. For instance, instead of <code>{{CURRENTINTERNETTIME}}</code>, they could use <code>{{ {{uc:CurrentInternetTime}} }}</code> </p><p>Because template names are interpreted in the same way to the names of other pages, underscores are replaced with spaces, and any text after a number sign (what would be a <a href="/wiki/Help:Links#Anchors" title="Help:Links">anchor</a> in a standard link) is ignored. </p><p>An underscore <code>_</code> can be alternative to a blank space. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Possible_uses_of_templates" data-mw-thread-id="h-Possible_uses_of_templates"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Possible_uses_of_templates"></span>Possible uses of templates<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Possible_uses_of_templates"></span></h2></div> <p>Templates can be used for any situation in which one wants two or more pages to contain identical or similar content that is edited together rather than independently. They can be used to: </p> <ul><li>Provide structured elements on many pages, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Infoboxes" class="extiw" title="w:WP:Infoboxes">infoboxes</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Template_index" class="extiw" title="w:WP:Template index">maintenance templates</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:navbox" class="extiw" title="w:Template:navbox">navigational boxes</a>, etc.</li> <li>Perform calculations used as a programming tool on various pages, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sum" class="extiw" title="w:Template:Sum">w:Template:Sum</a>.</li> <li><span class="anchor" id="Composite_pages"></span> Build composite pages that display the content of multiple existing pages together, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Village_pump_(all)" class="extiw" title="w:WP:Village pump (all)">w:WP:Village pump (all)</a> which includes content from each section of the village pump. The content of these pages can either be shown individually, or together, but the revision history, watchlist, etc. will only pick up changes to the transcluded pages and the raw wikitext of the composite page itself, not implicit changes to the composite page.</li> <li>Share some content between a few related pages. For example, the list at <a href="/wiki/Help:Preferences#Beta_features" title="Help:Preferences">Help:Preferences#Beta features</a> is duplicated at <a href="/wiki/Beta_Features#Current_Beta_Features" title="Beta Features">Beta Features#Current Beta Features</a>. While on MediaWiki.org that is built using <a href="/wiki/Extension:LabeledSectionTransclusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Extension:LabeledSectionTransclusion">Extension:LabeledSectionTransclusion</a> instead, it could have been done using a template.</li> <li>Store content referenced multiple times on the same page, so it only has to be written and calculated once. For example <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_Monumentenregister/URL" class="extiw" title="w:Template:Cite Monumentenregister/URL">w:Template:Cite Monumentenregister/URL</a> is called twice by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_Monumentenregister" class="extiw" title="w:Template:Cite Monumentenregister">w:Template:Cite Monumentenregister</a> in two different places, and using another template means the URL pattern only has to be written once in the base template.</li> <li>Use templates as a programming element to generate a loop: if Template:A calls Template:B 10 times with different parameters, then that crudely simulates a for loop. If Template:B calls Template:C 10 times, then you have a nested loop of 100 calls of Template:C. But keep in mind that it is easy to run into the <a href="/wiki/Manual:Template_limits" title="Manual:Template limits">template limits</a> when using templates as advanced programming constructs, and using <a href="/wiki/Extension:Scribunto" title="Extension:Scribunto">Scribunto</a> is generally clearer and easier to follow.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Copying_from_one_wiki_to_another" data-mw-thread-id="h-Copying_from_one_wiki_to_another"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Copying_from_one_wiki_to_another"></span>Copying from one wiki to another<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Copying_from_one_wiki_to_another"></span></h2></div> <p>It is possible, if <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding" title="Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding">allowed by the wiki configuration</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding" title="Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding"> </a></span> to transclude templates from other wikis.
