Instructions and conventions

Please follow these conventions:

1. Navigation templates for OERu courses should be transcluded from a sub-page of the relevant OERu course unit.
2. The subpage for the navigation template should be prefaced with an underscore (_) to distinguish this from ordinary content pages, for example: http://wikieducator.org/Course/Name_of_Unit/_Nav
3. The wiki boilerplate text below used to create a navigation template is saved on the _Nav sub-page.
4. To transclude the navigation template from the subpage within the relevant sub-pages of the unit, put a colon (:) in front of the page name contained withing two curly brackets, for example {{:Course/Name_of_Unit/_Nav}} representing the page where the navigation template is stored for transclusion.

• For example the wiki text: {{:AST1000/Introducing_Asia_and_the_Pacific/_Nav}} transcludes the navigation template on this sub-page to each of the target page(s) using the wiki text {{:AST1000/Introducing_Asia_and_the_Pacific/_Nav}} on the target page.

Wiki boilerplate text for OERu navigation template

These instructions assume the following nomenclature for the sub-components of an OERu course:

• Course --> Unit --> Section --> sub-section

• Step 1: Copy all the text contained in the grey box below and paste this on the sub-page you are using to create and transclude the navigation template (e.g. http://wikieducator.org/Course/Name_of_Unit/_Nav). Remember to save your page.
• Step 2: Replace the green text highlighted below with the relevant wiki page urls for your course. Tip: open this window in a new tab to view what text needs to be changed.
