Boilerplates 
Edit
(copied for continuity): Hi, I am working on a wiki using mediawiki and I am very impressed with the work you guys have done with this site. I was wondering if any of you might be able to answer a question about boilerplates/templates. We are currently using the subst method as well, but the drawback to it is that if we decide to change the original Boilerplate/Template layout, the changes do not cascade down to any of the pages that are using the Boilerplate/Template (obviously since there is no link back). If any of you have any ideas or suggestions on whether mediawiki (or extensions) offers any mechanisms for handling this situation, please do share!. Essentially, we want to be able to modify the template and have that affect all pages using that template. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahui (talk · contr).
- The only way I can see is to actually create a template doing this, and having all the content be pushed into the template, which is just not good for the server if you have to make the minor-est of changes. Was there something you specifically needed it to do? --Sky (t · c · w) 00:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
