[Mediawiki-l] Template:Box_portal_skeleton namespace or extension

[judi chen]

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

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".

See the appropriate help pages on meta for more on all
