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.
