I don't know if this is the best way to do this, so any advice is appreciated. I have a set of information that needs to be included in two different tables. It seems that the simplest approach might be to create a template of parameters and then transclude it into the two different tables/forms. The following yields desired results in the table (without nested transclusion): {{TestForm |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie }} However, when I nest the transclusion as follows: {{TestForm {{TestFlds}} }} Mediawiki Displays: {{TestForm |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie }} Which is the code I'm looking for, but not the result - of course. As a side note, if I do the preview using: {{TestForm {{subst:TestFlds}} }} The display works exactly as desired - except of course it transcludes the code so that any changes to the Template TestFlds would now be picked up - not the desired results. Any Ideas? Template:TestFld ------------------------------ |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie ------------------------------ Template:TestForm ------------------------------ {| |{{{Fld1|A}}} |{{{Fld2|B}}} |- |{{{Fld3|C}}} |{{{Fld4|D}}} |} ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AUM I was unaware this topic had been addressed.  Whether or not I agree with the discussion, I certainly do not want to reopen old wounds.  Obviously the correct approach would be to write an extension. Thanks for pointing me to the discussion Trevor. Jack
