Template Structure
In MediaWiki, the software used in SEDSWiki, templates are used to display common content on multiple pages. The template for the Projects directory, Template:Projects, is used -- with variables -- to coordinate the information and style on all directory pages.
Here is a blank template:
{{Projects
|project=
|host=
|location=
|url=
|contact=
|timeline=
|description=
}}
The content of the template page is called by placing the template name within double brackets where you want the information to be displayed. For example, using information from SEDSAT-2 in the template...
{{Projects
|project=SEDSAT-2
|host=SEDS-Earth
|location=International
|url=http://sedsat2.seds.org
|contact=sedsat2-info@seds.org
|timeline=Launch planned for 2009
|description=SEDSAT-2 is remote sensing CubeSat project undertaken by the international community of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space.
}}
...will produce:
| Host: SEDS-Earth | Location: International |
| URL: http://sedsat2.seds.org | Timeline: Launch planned for 2009 |
| Contact: sedsat2-info@seds.org | |
| Description: SEDSAT-2 is remote sensing CubeSat project undertaken by the international community of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. | |
Standard Links
At the top of each directory page are two standard link boxes that crosslink the Projects directory and the Space Information Archive: Template:Projects Header. This template is a combination of Template:SIA Main and Template:Projects Linkbar.
Template:Projects Header requires the input of the variable region. Including 'Europe' in the SIA Region template...
{{Projects Header|region=Europe}}
