Template in wiki markup syntax is a kind of digital asset management tool, called name space. Templates in wiki allows users to reuse wiki markup language, please see wikipedia:Help:Template, so that repetitive markup patterns can be managed in templates. Any phrases starting with the prefix:"template:", (notice that it must be followed bu a colon":") is just a cookie cutter structure that serves as a standard format for information presentation. This is a very powerful feature in Mediawiki, and is encouraged for all to use this syntax for compressing and organizing information.

Templates can be used to define many reusable information presentation structures, an example of Template:Logic Model is shown below:


1. Context

{{{context}}}

2. Goal

{{{goal}}}

3. Measurable Effects

{{{effects}}}

4. Outputs 5. Process 6. Inputs

{{{outputs}}}

{{{process}}}

{{{inputs}}}

7. External Factors

{{{ef}}}
