[Mediawiki-l] Template, novice question

[Balaji Lakshmanan]

Hi All,

This is a basic question I guess.

I create a link to a template page from the current page using 
{{templatename}} to include the contents of the template. Then, when I 
try to edit the current page, the template page gets edited instead of 
the current page. Any ideas as what I am doing wrong here?

For eg. I created a current page using [[currentpage]]; inside the 
currentpage I created a link {{templatename}}.
I only want to edit the current page with the template contents in it.

Any help plz,

Thanks,
Balaji
