Sorry for using a word that triggers some usage I had not intended. Keep
asking as it does help explain things.

Warin -
I read through the documentation for Templates and the way it's used
in Mediawiki applications like our Wiki is to define a piece of text,
with or without photos, etc., as a reusable fragment that can be
inserted in any page and if the original, the "template", is edited
the changes propagate to all instances of the template in as many
places as it appears. It's sort of like what used to be known as
"boilerplate" in word-processors except its content is dynamic.
Thanks for your clarification though. It motivated me to learn a bit
more about the Wiki s/w I constantly complain about. LOL

Graeme,
You might have to change the picture and the rendering icon in the
right "summary" bar.
