=Frequently asked questions (FAQs)=


 * List your questions here ....
 * I am working on marking up some existing self-instructional materials with the WikiEducator syntax. Every time I introduce a new term, I'd like to provide a definition, using the iDevices template for this.  However, when the definition appears again in subsequent units, I'd like to link it either to the original page or to a Glossary, so that learners can refresh their memories.  What is the best way of doing this? (submitted by Ed Du Vivier)


 * It appears there is a bug when one adds a bullet list immediately after the iDevice header Web Resources, the first item is not shown as a bullet but the syntax shows. If you add a line of plain text above the bullet list it displays OK. Example:

Are the names case sensitive on some systems? Thanks, --Shane Nychy B.Sc. 21:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC) There is a workgroup currently working on a style guide. The first letter of a template is case insensitive because the wiki automatically capitalises it so Template:objectives and Template:Objectives are the same. However, the remainder of the template name is case sensitive so Template:My_Template and Template:My_template are different templates. --Kruhly 22:21, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there a standard naming convention for Templates. I noticed that some use Capital letters to start others lower case.

my box captured the rest of the headings on my page. the curly brackets are present (closing), so I don't know what I've done wrong. Any help appreciated :O) Kelly

Hi - I have been having problems with my Activity Box Template inside my User Page worksheet [Idioms Activities"] and I can't seem to add a film I have specially created from Xtranormal and a book specially created from Bookr into the templates. It keeps showing even when I have added content. I have tried so many things but I am a bit stuck. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you! --Janet Bianchini 16:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi I had a similar problem with the web resources template which showed even when I added content. It worked eventually when I deleted the last link in the list but I could not understand why this made a difference. Jane Brotchie 21:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
