           Summary: including text elsewhere on the page
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ParserFunctions
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


On the Dutch village pump there's been some discussion about infoboxes and
other often complicated-looking and large pieces of wikitext that precede the
actual text of the article. One possibility to resolve this would be if we
could put the text at the bottom of the page, and just add a pointer to it at
the top. This would then, I imagine, look something like this:

{{include:infobox}}
{{include:pictures}}
Now we can start the real text of '''this article''' at line three instead of
line forty, which doesn't look that [[intimidating]] to new users.

etc. etc.

{{define:infobox|
Here goes all the ugly stuff that we don't want to bother the new writer with}}
{{define:pictures|
[[Image:Somepicture|thumb|Some picture to go in the upper left that we also
don't want to bother them with]]}}
