I think that trying to copy templates (and adapting) is the very best way to
learn wiki
( for this reason en.wikipedia seems somptuous, but no library known)
So you can discover what comes with basic element (common.css) or what comes
with personnal tips, or what comes with extensions, and/or with
localsettings.
Some template could need a special extension, and would not run if the wiki
is not featured with this extension ( for exemple dpl, and so on)
AND little by little you have to learn all the differents rules that are (or
not) accepted by Mediawiki
I have never speak english ( ça s'entend, je crois !) and have never learn
computing but i do it now ( I hope ?) because of templates with mediawiki ,
and that's great, thx to his community and to the software ;O)))

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Installing templates
Hello,
where did you find such template librairies ?
I think there could be a setup... a script which create automatically pages,
but I'd like to see.
In my wikis, I copy the template I want... or I make my own myself :) But
they are not as complicated as some on Wikipedia.

Yes François and it can become a nightmare
That's what I've understood. But is copying the only way to add a bunch of
templates ?
I saw templates libraries on the web but it looks like there is no setup.
Isn't somewhere a setup to automate the process ? I can hardly understand
that each wiki owner has to create the templates himself !
