[Mediawiki-l] Advice on templating

[Adam Meyer]

I dont know how much you want to put into this. But I did exactly what  
you are looking for.

see here: http://risdpedia.net/index.php/Velcro_Industrial_Strength

this all a template.
Click on edit, and you can see the normal template junk.
Now click on "easy edit"

It took me a month to make it happen. But it works excellent.
I also have the same feature for making new template pages.

No wiki anything is needed to be known to use it.
