Tip of the day Get annoyed writing out the same piece of text on multiple pages? You can create your own template on a sub-page of your user page: Add the link [[/TemplateName]] (where "TemplateName" is the name of your template) to your user page. Add the text of your template to this new sub-page. To add the template to a page, you simply have to add this code: {{subst:User:YourUserName/TemplateName}} (substituting your own user name and template page name). For example, user:Steinsky has templates for textbook references: {{subst:User:Steinsky/iGenetics}} becomes: Russel, P.J., 2003. iGenetics. San Francisco: Benjamin Cummins.
