Introduction to Templates
Templates are shortcuts for special formatting within the Wiki to make text look more pretty and mark certain types of content.
A template is referenced like this:
{{template_name | optional_parameters }}
Standard templates used by FreeThoughtPedia
Wip: Marking an article as a Work In Progress
This template is used to indicate a page that's a work in progress. This is usually placed at the top of a page:
{{wip|MYNAME}}
Where MYNAME is the name of the person who is working on the page, or if you invite others to help edit the page, leave that blank such as:
{{wip}}
Example:
 The following article is a Work In Progress. At present nobody is working on this article. If nobody is specifically working on this page, you are invited to help edit it and make it better. |

Az: embedding a link to a product on Amazon.com
This template makes it easy to put a quick link to Amazon.com for anyone interested in finding more information out about, or purchasing publications and other products. Our hosting company has an account with Amazon and will get a percentage of any sales made, which helps cover the costs of operating this site -- it's another way of supporting FreeThouhtPedia.
Usage {{Az|ASIN|text to hilight}}
where ASIN is the product ID number. You can find this in the url of a typical Amazon product listing:
For example, here's the URL displayed when you look at the book, "The Brick Testament"
http://www.amazon.com/Brick-Testament-Stories-Book-Genesis/dp/1931686459/ref=pd_bbs_sr_...
The part in bold is the ASIN (1931686459), so you could do something like this:
{{Az|1931686459|The Brick Testament}}
and it would come out like this:
