Overview
To make formatting or other repeat information show up on the wiki, it is useful to use a shortcut such as a {{Template:_______}} to display various useful information. Or, wikicode can be cut and pasted, and filled with modified information. In the case of the {{Template: route, we are passing parameters into the template, and in the case of wikicode we are cutting and pasting and replacing parts of the code with the desired content. The advantage of the {{Template: route is that it is easy to pass parameters into the template, whereas you must search within the code for the needed changes when cutting-and-pasting wikicode.
A good example of {{Template: is:
A good example of cut-and-paste wikicode is CAD_Current_Work#GVCS_Projects_-_CAD_Status
The wiki is flexible and formatting + content can happen in many ways, such as:
- Wiki Markup Language - accepts wiki-specific markup + some HTML elements, see Wikipedia - [1]
- Wiki Templates - using the {{}} markup - you can invoke templates defined as {{Template:______}}
- CSS - CSS is handled within Mediawiki, example is CAD_Current_Work#GVCS_Projects_-_CAD_Status
- HTML - using HTML, you can embed content from other platforms, such as Google Docs, WebGL, and much more.
- HTML/CSS/Javascript - see Flashy XM for a combination of Wiki Markup Language, HTML, CSS, and Javascript
Wiki-Specific Templates
- See OSE Wiki Templates
- Development Template equivalent, but in Wiki, not Google Spreadsheet embed.
- Video Script Template
- OSHW Dashboard
