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.
