What is a template?
The MediaWiki software used by FrathWiki has support for templates. This means standardized text chunks (such as boilerplate text) can be inserted into articles. For example, typing {{stub}} will appear as "
".
Instructions
To create a new user message, you need to make an article under the name Template:TEMPLATENAME.
Messages can be used in two ways: {{subst:TEMPLATENAME}} and {{TEMPLATENAME}}. subst copies the user message into the text of the article you are working on. Without subst the text of the user message is retrieved from the template space each time the article is opened. {{msg:TEMPLATENAME}} does the same thing as {{TEMPLATENAME}}.
If you create a new user message, please keep the list below updated.
Templates on this wiki
Work in progress
To show that a page is under construction, under revision or otherwise incomplete you can type {{Workinprogress}} at the top of of the page and it will appear as the following boilerplate:
"
".
Equivalent code is {{WIP}} or {{Wip}} or {{wip}}.
User page template
This Template:Userpage is a ripoff of User:Chlewey's elegant user page. You can use it as a help to create your own user page. To include it in your own page type {{subst:Userpage}} into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears. Replace the text in UPPERCASE with information relevant to yourself.
Swadesh template
This template, adapted from the Wiktionary:Swadesh template can be used to demonstrate the vocabulary of a conlang. It can be seen here. To include it in your own page type {{subst:Swadesh}} into your edit window, then save your page, then open your edit window again and edit the table that now appears.
