Hi Clayton, thanks for your ultra-fast reply. Since it is already very late, I'll try to provide a short intermediate answer.

Well, then it seems that we already lived with that behavior in the UX team - without knowing that. And since the community council usually isn't that fast in deciding stuff, the server will outperform us in any case ;-))) So I think this is okay (to me). > The section "Usage" is in the <noinclude> section.

I had a look at the explanations on template pages before asking here ... my problem is rather related to the explanation itself. The text explaining to substitute "this" with "that" seems weird to me - I am unsure if it really works this way (e.g. "If you want to replace the 'All OpenOffice.org projects' section with some other content, use: {{Community_Council|extend with=your wiki markup}}.") But, if I got it right, the template itself is okay and can be used without doing harm to the wiki :-) Now the question is if you can provide me some hint (Is there something like the magic formula?) to apply the changes. The syntax above makes me think that this should be possible. Thanks for the help!
