Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked before, or if there's a more appropriate forum.
I've been hunting but not found anything yet on mediawiki, Wikipedia, or the
discussion list archive. Tried wikitext-l first but not sure anybody's on that list
anymore.
Is
it possible to parse or call the data from template A on page X, and
spit parts of it back out using another template (say, template B) on
page Y, and in a different namespace? For the sake of argument, assume
there is only one template A iteration on page X.
For example,
Template A
{{bookdata
| image = no
| title = A big long title
| maplink = Image:Title_p82.gif
}}
Template B
{{mapdata
| title = [calls 'title' value from bookdata]
}}
It
seems like there should be a way to do this, so if it means reading
manuals on something I'd be happy to. At this point I'm just not sure
which direction I should be going to read up on this.
Thanks for any advice.
Craig
