- One error has been found on this page. Administrator will correct this soon.

The template function enables you to create content in one place, then to call for that content to be included whereever you want it.
This is not to be confused with another usage of the word "template" in our files, such as Directory:Template, which is a boiler plate page we use for creating new directory pages.
Note : This page needs to be combined with the page called Template but at this url, not that one.

Examples
Footers
At the bottom of most Directory pages, as you will see in the above-mentioned template, is an example of a mediawiki template function.
Note in the "See also" section the following code:
• Latest
• News
That code pulls in the document found at Template:Directory footer
If we want to change the footer, we edit that page.
This, incidentally, is probably the most-used template.
Here is a list of pags that use it:

Sub-site navigation columns
The template feature can be used for creating a navigation structure within a sub-site within PESWiki.
For example, Template:NEC is the right-hand navigation column for the New Energy Congress pages. It's not used on the NEC home page, but it is use on most all internal pages. For example, in source view ("edit" or "view source") you will see New Energy Congress
