Summary: Defining a template within a page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Templates
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jpmcgr...@jpmcgrath.net
I would like a way to define a template (or something equivalent), for use on a
single page, within that page. There are times when it makes sense to define a
template that will only be used on one page, for example a "row template" for a
single use table. Creating a separate template has a few disadvantages:
* When trying to examine the WikiMarkup, you have to open multiple pages to see
what is going on.
* Testing the template requires saving the template every time you make a
change. You cannot just use the preview feature to see how things will be
formatted.
* The history of the main page and the template are separate, so retrieving old
versions can result in mismatches.
I would like instead to do something like this:
#defineTemplate row
|-
| style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left" | {{{name}}}
| style="text-align: right" | {{{age}}}
| style="background-color: #DDD; text-align: right" | {{{salary}}}
#endTemplate
{|
{{row | name="Sally" | age="25" | salary="$50,000" }}
{{row | name="Dick" | age="30" | salary="$75,000" }}
{{row | name="Jane" | age="35" | salary="$100,000" }}
|}
