there is MediaWiki:Monobook.css for style sheets also what you could do is a template that uses sub-pages such as the todo list template on wikipedia Chris McIntosh wrote: -- Mike Valstar ------------ My Gentoo Sites: http://gentoo-wiki.com http://gentoo-portage.com My Site: http://thrasher7.net Need Hosting: http://thrashcorp.com

Hi, I needed to do soemthing very similar on my wiki: I was in need of a few of such standard pages, which shall have an initial unified structure (im my case: project page, user page, group page, talk page of templates, ...) but should allow to develop in a non-unified way (as you say: some sections will only add in specific projects, each user will put individual things onto its initial unified user-page, ...) So my solution was as follows: I created all "Standard pages" as Examples in the Meta-namespace (namespace 4) In my case: WikiBASE:Example - User Homepage WikiBASE:Example - Template - Takl Page and so on ... All these pages where added into the category Category:Examples by adding the following code at the bottom: <!-- Remove this category when using this example, --> <!-- it is only used to add this example to the list of examples! --> [[Category:Examples|User Homepage]] At my myin page, there is (in the header) a list of the mostly used categories, it also includes [[Category:Examples]] And it contains a little HTML form to createa a new page (which is only a matter of convenience) The procedure to start with a new page from such a standard page is - go to the example and copy the code - create a new page from the main page - paste the copied example and fill in actual data as required. - from this point on the page develops independently, but it was based on a standard page, providing an initial uniform structure Hope this helps!
