Questions tagged [mediawiki-templates]

In MediaWiki, templates provide a way to include one page into other pages. This tag is for questions about template code and functionality.

From Help:Templates:

If you have standard texts you want to include on several pages, the MediaWiki template feature comes into play.

Templates are standard wiki pages whose content is designed to be transcluded (embedded) inside other pages. Templates follow a convention that the name is prefixed with "Template:", assigning it to that namespace; besides this, you can create them like any other wiki page.
