Many organizations provide templates for these purposes. Writing style, it's true, is hard to capture in a template, but standardized formats, required links and their formats, layouts, all can be encapsulated easily into a single document, or a small set of documents, each with a specific function that could be described in a master documentation page. These documents could be used as a container for any new or ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ updated pages. ...
Well i suppose there is hardly any need of templates to get to know the basic editing ideas in wiki(openSUSE) :).
Hmm. What I've been exposed to as templates has been documents or document snippets that form the structure for an item. For example, <p> </p> could be called a template for an html paragraph. These tags encapsulate the format of a paragraph, relieving editors of the burden of putting in EOL's and blank lines to delineate paragraphs in their text, <html> <header> </header> <body> </body> </html> could be called a template for a web page. These tags encapsulate the format of a web page, giving editors a structure for specifying formats, fonts, heading highlights, etc. in their text. Initially when i started with
editing i was = to a beginner or less that.The best thing which i can share with you is -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit .This can give a little hint or a brief idea on how to get started.And when you are almost thorough just keep on surfing the wiki - (http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Allpages) for minor faults and try to rectify them.And as the time advances you'll slowly and steadily get to know the things around :)
Yes, I see that that site is very helpful. It also supports my use of the term template (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages), although it uses only small snippets rather than full-blown page templates (at least I haven't run across any page-level templates yet). I wonder how they get the uniformity of appearance. I suppose opensuse does its pages the same way? I haven't tried yet to edit any opensuse pages.
