Templates basically offer the possibility to include the articles from [[Template:]]-[[namespace]] into other articles by the means of '''[[w:transclusion]]'''. '''[[mw:Help:Templates]]''' is an excellent tutorial into MW templates.
'''This article is about templates in [[MediaWiki]] [[Wiki]] software and their application to reaching [[consumerium]] [[Consumerium Services|goals]].'''
 
Templates will be widely employed to add [[categories]] to articles.
 
The template system in [[MediaWiki]] has evolved to a very powerful (and complicated in some cases) system for avoiding redundant manual work, and enabling consistent structure for articles that deal with a certain, shared area of knowledge. Other features in MediaWiki include [[MediaWiki/extensions|extensions]], [[categories]] and extra [[namespaces]] and [[MediaWiki/widgets|widgets]].
 
[[Wikidata]] and [[DBpedia]] will be used to populate and update Consumium's own [[Wikibase]] installation.

There are a few templates in use in this wiki. A complete list is [http://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=10 here] with the only useful (and ones used) being:
*[[Template:Deprecated]] - used to mark pages that are no longer relevant or coherent with current plans due to evolution of the implementation plan

*[[Template:TFD]] - Tagged For Deletion - If someone want's to conserve contents from a page that has been tagged like this they either move all useful information to another article or improve the article so that it makes sense in the larger scheme of things.
== Template use in Implementation wiki ==
Here we should compile a list of templates that will be useful in the implementation stage when we begin to assemble information about companies and products.
== New infoboxen ==
Infoboxen can consist of standard items in the form of a large unified template with fields for value '''and''' freeform portion with mostly single item templates ( think of [[userboxen]] ).
=== Consumption/Product related entities infoboxen ===
* [[Brand]]
* [[Product]] ( made in country X, sold in country X, sold in retail outlet X chain X and up )
* [[Product group]] ( mainly from [[OHIM#EURONICE]] )
=== Places and areas infoboxen ===

[[w:Category:Business infobox templates]] will likely almost all be included under GFDL to form the base data on entitites such as brands and businesses.
Using the SPARQL queries on [[DBpedia]]'s datasets on [[Wikipedia]] infoboxes enabled by the [[MediaWiki/Extensions#LinkedWiki|LinkedWiki extension]] so we will start collecting a list of Infoboxes to get datasets for.

==Template use in Wikipedia==
The template system in [[MediaWiki]] has evolved to a very powerful (and complicated in some cases) system for avoiding redundant manual work, and enabling consistent structure for articles that deal with a certain, shared area of knowledge.


[[w:Wikipedia:Template_messages]] lists (most) of the templates used in Wikipedia in a user friendly way.
