Templates are a powerful tool to add information to new course, major, or other pages. This should simplify and standardize the ability for editors to compile information on any topic.

To create a template, make a new page with the following syntax:

Template:foo

This template can then be used using the following syntax. Note: if this format is used, any updates to the template will be shown on pages it is used within.

Template:Foo

This could be useful for adding major requirements to pages.

To use that template and edit boilerplate text, use the following syntax:

{{subst:foo}}

This could be useful for creating new major or course pages.
