Hello to the List,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way or has experience with "batch"
importing templates (like from Wikipedia). I have used the import and
export Special Pages with standardized pages, but unfortunately I haven't
been able to do it with Templates. There are a number of Templates that
require other Templates to properly run and it is extremely time consuming
to have to create, cut and paste, the code one page at a time. For example:
if I want to copy the Template:Navbox/core, there are a number of other
associated Templates that I must also make and copy in order for the
Template to work properly.
If you just want the article to work and you don't actually need a
copy of the templates, you can use
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates instead of
exporting each one.
