Hi,
I am Hamza M Ghanchi from India. And I have got affection for my mother tongue Gujarati. Mostly I try to contribute in the Gujarati & English version of wikipedia and contributing for notable personalities as well. Not A Paid Editor.
I will try to contribute in Wikipedia in a way to make it much more valuable resource for information. --હમઝા ઘાંચી (talk) 06:56, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Templates are a type of page that contain boilerplate text that is intended to be displayed on more than one page in Wikipedia.
This Tip of the day box is an example of a template (there are several versions actually), and besides being displayed here it is displayed on many userpages as well.
Template names start with the prefix "Template:" followed by the page name. The main version of the template you are reading right now is called "Template:totd".
To display a template on a page, go to the target page, click "edit", and add the template's name (with or without the prefix) surrounded by double curly brackets to the page's source text. (The text you see in the edit box when you click edit this page is called "source text", because it is a lot like programming code, which is called "source code").
Including a template on a page in this way is called "transclusion". Here's an example:
To include the Template:Philosophy topics, type this at the end of the philosophy article you wish to place it on::
.jpg){kind=small}
