Introduction to Templates

What are templates?

Templates are sections that can be inserted into a number of other pages. It is handy from a maintenance perspective, since certain parts only need to be edited once and the changes will be reflected on many pages.

How do I insert templates?

Insert a new template page name between curly braces in your page, eg. {{templatename}} . When you save your page, you can click on that template and edit the new template file.

Templates to warn users about distribution specific pages

"debian-centric"

Debian Logo Warning: This is a Debian-centric page

This page is written by a Debian user with Debian in mind. Thus, he liberally uses apt-get, and assumes that everything will work exactly the same for you.

If you don't run Debian (or something based on it like Ubuntu), it won't, so please find the differences and add them to this page.

"suse-centric"

SuSE Logo Warning: This is a SuSE-centric page

This page is written by a SuSE user with SuSE in mind. Thus, he liberally uses YaST, and assumes that everything will work exactly the same for you.

If you don't run SuSE, it won't, so please find the differences and add them to this page.

"gentoo-centric"

Gentoo logo
Warning: This is a Gentoo-centric page

This page is written by a Gentoo user with Gentoo in mind. Thus, he liberally uses emerge, and assumes that everything will work exactly the same for you.

If you don't run Gentoo (shame on you), it won't, so please find the differences and add them to this page.
