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 limitation of templates is that they don't appear to work with <html> code tags as part of the template. It appears we cannot embed Google Presentations, for example, using templates.

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-Specific Templates

Google Docs Templates

Google Photos

  • Template:photosembed - used to embed photos from image address

Graphics Templates
