I would still be very interested if there is an easier way to do this. This template makes a link in a box to a page on MediaWiki. Obviously, this is not a straight forward process, but it does work. ) and paste in the skeleton markup they just copied. One solution that I have found (not the best, in my opinion), is to use the preview button to generate the skeleton/template page.įor example, I create a template for my Journal, named Template:Journal I would have to think there is an extension or something that can do what I'm looking for, but I can't find it, or I don't know the correct terms to search for it.ĭoes anyone know what I'm talking about or have any ideas? Okay, I could build a stub page for every day of the year, but the problem is that entries will only need to be filled in on probably 50 random days of a year, so there are 315 wasted stub pages. renamed this result format to result format 'plainlist' Outputs results in a comma separated list, with additional outputs shown in parentheses. I researched Stub pages on the wikipedia site, but those look more like placeholders for a page that you want someone to build. Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 Released on 11 October 2018 and compatible with MW 1.27.0 - 1.31.x. I researched templates on the mediawiki site, but those are more like sub pages that you can include in multiple pages (as I understand). That way they don't have to worry about missing a section or a category tag, etc. What I would like to have is some sort of skeleton or template page that the user can go to and clone a copy and just 'fill in the blanks'. In an ideal situation, I would have a database backend and page templates dynamically filled by CGI, and I'm wondering if the mediawiki template system. I also want it to include some ] tags as well. I'm managing some data using a mediawiki and am wondering if it is possible to have standardized pages generated from existing wiki data without having to create a load of very similar pages. I want each Journal page to be in a certain format, for example: Page Title is today's date I even tried removing the TemplateStyles section in the Module:Infobox page but that didnt work either.

I can’t find any code relating to TemplateStyles when I look at the actual template:infobox page.

I have a local install of Media Wiki, and there is a type of page that our users will be adding frequently - it is like a journal page for a certain day, where they can log their activities for that day. I’m not using the extension anyway tho, so i’d just like to remove it if possible, but I cant even seem to do that. I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: Hopefully this won't be too confusing, because I am not to familiar with the terminology.
