As an author/maintainer of the TranscludePlugin, I perked up my ears
when reading about this, but on looking at the WikiMedia templating
feature I frankly think it's got to be one of the ugliest things I've
seen in awhile.
What I would be willing to do is incorporate an API-like method into
the TranscludePlugin, such that someone could extend it with their
own Substitution (transform) feature. That wouldn't be a lot of work
for me, and if someone was so masochistic as to want to duplicate the
WikiMedia features, hell, all power to 'em.
If this would suit, let me know and we can discuss adding the hook
to TranscludePlugin to permit this.
Well, I actually had a look at the InsertPage plugin (source) and the
TranscludePlugin (jspwiki.org description).
In either case what's really needed is just a substitution mechanism to
be build on top/hookable to either.
After that, your right, all power to 'em.
Not yet exactly planned to do either, but If I had enough time (unsure I
have ;-) I would probably do right now,
looks not that difficult (at least for the InsertPage where I had a
look). If only this could be useful to others,
would probably be better to agree on syntax to specify parameters.
Whether or not such a specific feature (I mean the Wikipedia templating
stuff - or something alike) may prove useful
(or ugly - this also may depend on how things grow up ..) is a different
story. Personally I feel this could help a lot in
avoiding duplication whenever (part of) a wiki content should be
commonly structured (visually) over a number of
standard things. But I'm eager to ear other opinions :-)

There is an InsertPage plugin: http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/InsertPage
But it does not (yet ?) support a substitution mechanism, I also
don't think
anyone is working on that right now.
So, take your chance....

2008/2/7, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
All, I was wondering about a plugin similar to the template one in
wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template) which basically
is an include
mechanism with substitutions.
Just wondering however if there isn't already any way to obtain the
same
result, OR if someone is already doing this ...
