Schools project Edit

Sounds good. I like the schools pages, and I think that makes them a little bit more useful (having the "as an ingredient" duplicated). If you really want to do it right, you probably want to make a transclude page, rather than copying & pasting. I can explain to you how to do that, and why you would want to, if you're interested in learning more about "the wiki way." -Howbizr (talk) 20:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Any assistance would be highly appriciated. Current way of copy and pasting from a page to another for the sake of similar feel gets confusing fast. Quite a few times I end up typing in the new information on the wrong page. -Dawnyell (talk) 15:52, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get back earlier - lots going on.

Basically this is how transcludes work. You make a special page with a section of content - a strategy, a table, etc. That way the exact content can be included on several pages without copying and pasting. Then if it changes, you only have to change it in one place. Nice nice.

So on the transclude page, include this at the top "<noinclude>{{transclude}}</noinclude>" that way people know what the deal is with this strange page.

Then in any of the pages you want to use your new page, do this: {{:transclude}}. Pretty simple really.

Check out Pest Control, To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life, and Pest Control/Strategy to see it in action.

In the case of Dragonfin Angelfish School and Dragonfin Angelfish for example, I might create a new page Dragonfin Angelfish/As an ingredient, and include the "as an ingredient" section from the school article. Now once your transclude page is complete, add it to both the school page and the fish page.

Hopefully that kinda makes sense. You can also see help documentation on transcluding as well. -Howbizr (talk) 15:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
