I have several templates that I have copied from Wikipedia etc. Some of them have a curious command such as {{/info}} what is throwing me off is the / in the template call. I can not find any reference as to exactly what that is supposed to do. It usually ends up with no results. Anyone< please advise if you are aware of how this is supposed to work etc. Thanks
That is shorthand for sub pages of the current template

OK I have tried to locate the page by searching for Template:/info which does not work. Also tried /info as a simple page lookup, not located. Trying simply info get a crap load of junk. Template:Info does exist and is on my site but the call {{/info}} does not locate the template. Is there some type of shortcut or name space that should be activated. Mostly is there a bit of documentation that you can direct me to. Thanks!!!

The <something>/info page you are missing is the /info subpage of the template that you originally copied. So if you exported Template:Foo, you also need to export Template:Foo/info. Special:Export should do this for you automatically if you check the "Include templates" option when you export a page.

Ah ha....some clarity. I cut and pasted a few of them. That's likely how I missed it. Thanks. I have an idea now what I can do to correct this. Thanks!
