Wazeopedia Migration to Discuss- All you need to know!

Templates:

Articles from Wazeopedia utilizing MediaWiki templates will be migrated to Waze Discuss as text without the templates’ capabilities.

There will be 2 new templates available:

• wzTemplates capabilities:
  • wzTemplate (Basic): A standard Discuss post with existing capabilities (tagging, images, links, embedding), primarily for static content.
  • wzTemplate (Nested): Can reference another post containing a wzTemplate, enabling nesting.
  • wzTemplates will be available on all Discuss forums.

Discuss Templates will not support the following MediaWiki Features:

• Programming language features (if-else, switch blocks).
  • Example: “Notice” template with switch block.
• Parameter passing/acceptance during rendering.
  • Example: “Red Template” with parameter acceptance.
  • Awareness of the templating post.

@shirapashu Can you please document all the templates, their features features, and how to use them in the Wiki Content Tools & Best Practice?

There is another post Wazeopedia Migration to Discuss: Beta is LIVE! that does not include the information quoted above and it’s becoming hard to track the features.
Thank you.
