Currently I'm facing some difficulties copy
some of the templates I
like
from Wikipedia...the two issues are
1) Some of the template pages are "protected", meaning I cant even
view
the source, for example
title=Template:!
2) Most of the templates have dependencies on other templates,
I'm not
sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, though even though I go
thru
the dependency list one by one and copy them to my installation, the
pages still look funny...
Is there a nice writeup somewhere I can read to help me properly
install
templates on my installation?
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Do you mean the templates on the English
Wikipedia?
You can get a list from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Special:Allpages
and then export them via Special:Export
But, why would you want to do that?
