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.
