This article is about templates in MediaWiki Wiki software and their application to reaching consumerium goals.
Templates in development wiki
There are a few templates in use in this wiki. A complete list is 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:Fromwp - used to give credit when an article is adapted from Wikipedia
- Template:Stub - a stadard stub message

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.
[All templates used in Wikipedia can be found http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=10 here] (an automatically generated alphabetically ordered list)
Some of Wikipedia's templates (such as those dealing with calendars and such) are directly applicable to the implementation wiki
Surfing around Wikipedia one encounters many complex templates that may include nested templates and parameters.
Template use in Wiktionary
- Wiktionary's index to templates has some good explanations of the different kinds of templates used there and their application
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.
