This Wiki makes extensive use of templates. Templates allow you to re-use Wiki code and allow for editing of many pages simultaneously.
This section will contain an comprehensive tutorial on templates, in the meantime here is the format that a template should be in:
<!-- PRIVATE // Only displayed on this page, not transcluded on pages that use this template --><noinclude><!-- Categories --><!-- Constants --> <!-- Content --> <!-- --></noinclude><!-- INCLUDED // Not displayed on this page, only transcluded on pages that use this template --><includeonly><!-- Categories --> <!-- Constants --> <!-- Content --> <!-- --></includeonly> PUBLIC // Displayed on this page, and transcluded on pages that use this template Categories --> <!-- Constants--> <!-- Content --> <!--
Learning by Example
Any wiki using the standard wiki engine will allow you to see its source, and so it's easy to learn how to create an awesome wiki: all you have to do is look at their code
You can do that by either clicking "Edit"/"Edit this page" or "Source"/"View source".
