This is a list of templates we use for MediaWiki. They can generally be accessed through this website (http://laussy.org) by entering Template:NameOfTemplate as the last part of the url.

List

Puts whatever should read when I need someone to contact me:

{{contactme}}

gpx

Offers to "Download the gpx file for this track."

download

fr

pright

Inserts a right-aligned paragraph. This is a weak counterpart to quote but is not a float, so is less fragile.

Warns of pages that are still so much in construction, they're not really nice to visit.

{{stub}}

TeX

$\mathrm{\TeX}$

Provides the clickable date of a given day, e.g.,

gives 30 September (1977). See also today.

today

Provides the clickable date of today, e.g.,

{{subst:today}}

From Wikipedia's multicol. Use as:

{{multicol}}
This text appears in the first column.
{{multicol-break}}
This text appears in the second column.
{{multicol-break}}
This text appears in the third column.
{{multicol-end}}

to read:

You need to create the three corresponding pages$^*$, which are shortcuts for divivision of the page with floats.
