OK I changed it again. The previous version did not connect to the history correctly. I have changed it some more so that it adds the page name automatically, so we are back to the <nowiki>{{Wikipedia}}</nowiki>. That should save the hassel of typing it in for each page.

Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Robert Tito 09:02, 3 February 2007 (CST)
wikipedia template
How about this Template:Wikipedia as a solution? One problem, as seen below, is that is does not appear to accomodate the space between your names. Do you know a way around that problem?. Chris Day (Talk) 13:09, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Example of template use on this page follows:
OK, forget the above, I have just updated the tempalte so it can be used with the following format: {{Wikipedia|Article Name}}. See below for a test using biology as an example. Chris Day (Talk) 13:27, 5 February 2007 (CST)
- Thanks! You beat me to it! I'll get started inserting the tag on the relevant pages later tonight then! Martin Niemann 13:30, 5 February 2007 (CST)
- No problem, i just read your user page and I like what I see. I have been attempting to preserve the wiki templates since some of them are very good. Likewise the images. The current problem is that CZ does not yet have a definitive idea about what licenses will be used or how hierarchies will be established. Lary Sanger is suggesting no categories, so the templates may become even more important as a tool for organising the articles. Time will tell. Welcome aboard. i look forward to bringing you all my template problems :) Chris Day (Talk) 13:36, 5 February 2007 (CST)
OK I changed it again. The previous version did not connect to the history correctly. I have changed it some more so that it adds the page name automatically, so we are back to the {{Wikipedia}}. That should save the hassel of typing it in for each page. Chris Day (Talk) 14:09, 5 February 2007 (CST)

- From what I can tell it works as it should now. I'll be working my way through more articles tomorrow. But I would say that it works as intended now. The parser function that Chris used in his final version is the same as I was using when I worked on it and it solved the problem with the spaces. As the template is not subst'd any changes to the templates will show up on all the pages anyway so in the unlikely event of a bug or a need to expand the template there would be no problems.
