Templates are an effective way of [[WikiIslam:Standardization|standardizing content]]. They are like regular wiki pages except that their page name begins with the keyword "Template:" (e.g. [[Template:Stub]]) | |||
A Stub template can be included on a stub page (a page that needs more content) by simply inserting <nowiki>{{</nowiki>stub}} on the page. Notice that the keyword (Template:) has been left out and the name of the template page has been surrounded with double curly brackets. Mediawiki calls this a transclusion ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion more info]). | A Stub template can be included on a stub page (a page that needs more content) by simply inserting <nowiki>{{</nowiki>stub}} on the page.
