A template is a special type of page designed to be embedded within other pages, providing editors with access to consistent design and formatting.
Adding templates to pages[edit | edit source]
Via the visual editor[edit | edit source]
Templates can be searched for and added via the toolbar above the visual editor by clicking Insert, and in the dropdown box, selecting Templates. Most templates can be easily inserted onto a page this way. To later edit its contents, simply click on the inserted template in the visual editor for options.
Via the source editor[edit | edit source]
Templates are added by using double brackets {{ ... }}. For example, the template foo is added by typing {{foo}}.
