Hi,
I would like to define a standard page to use for documenation on my wiki. It should look something like
Header: ... Business Case: ... Notes and Progress: ... etc
I tried to set this up first with a wiki template. {{ProjectTemplate|Blah|blah|blah}} However it doesn't seem to be able to give me the flexibility to create different section of markup and possible change their position at a later time.
I am thinking of something like an html page where I define different sections and then can define a stylesheet at a later time.
Is there anything like this in Mediawiki?
What you need to do is figure out general formats (eg, suggested headings) and specific formats (infoboxes). The latter can go into templates; the former embedded in each page. (You may want to look at Wikipedia's taxonomy boxes for an idea how to be flexible.)
I wrote an extension once for FIRSTwiki that defined a format action that tried to match the title to a series of regexps, then loaded a template's content into that page if it matched. I can release it as GPL if you would like to see it.
