All Templates
This is for advanced editors.
You may instead add content quickly.
Wiki entries, when seen as edited sources, often have 4 parts, separated by "====":
- main content,
- a decorative image (sometimes by "flickr:flickr_id" syntax),
- additional content (depending on a page's category),
- general description of the item.
Let's call this four-part structure a scheme.
Templates as initial content
As a built-in Wikidot category, a template means initial content for new entries. Vvisible at the start of making a new article, it will hint at the meaning of elements of the scheme and it will provide the structure for the main content.
- Initial content: Activity
- Initial content: Cite
- Initial content: Glossary
- Initial content: People
- Initial content: Rename
- Initial content: Sub
