User blog:MinecraftRogue/Simple Recipe Templates

Hello everyone!

I have an idea that we could implement on the wiki. You all know of the recipe templates, that display the crafting recipes for any page? Well, I had an idea. We could automate the templates so users would not have to know the templates, and the pages would look neater because users could not change the recipe without going to the page itself.

Here's how it would work:

I've already set it up on the Quarry page and the pages that are its ingredients.



Here, I removed the template, and added {Usage|u=Quarry}.

What this does is links to the Quarry page, and copies the recipe to the Iron Gear page, by transcluding Quarry/Recipe.

It's really hard to explain, but if you have any questions or additions, comment below!
