hi Rowan, Thanks for the help.
Here is what I want to do. I want to automate the Portal creation process for my wiki site, which should be the same as the wikipedia does.
See this site for reference, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiportal
The wikipedia portal creation process call Template:Box_portal_skeleton
So I created a Template:Box_portal_skeleton on my wiki site using the same code copied from the wikipedia site. As I explained in the previous msg, my Template:Box_portal_skeleton doesnot do the same as the one of Wikipedia does.
So my question is whether I need to define/enable something on the namespace or I need to include some extensions?
Thanks jc

I think that I have a subpage problem
I saw a display on wikipedia.com as
Template:/box-header{{Portal:{{{topic}}}/Intro}}
As I said in my earlier reply, this is probably *not* a page called "Template:/box-header", but a sub-page of the current one, so if you saw it on a page called "foo", the template to copy is called "foo/box-header".
Sub-pages only work, however, in namespaces where they have been enabled (e.g. discussions can have sub-pages, but articles can't, by default). In a namespace without them, it *will* be interpretted as meaning "Template:/box-header".
