I wish there was a method where a page template could be created and have pages that could use that template check to see if the template was included (directory location on server as a hint?) and if not, have the server insert the template into the page automatically.<br> | I wish there was a method where a page template could be created and have pages that could use that template check to see if the template was included (directory location on server as a hint?) and if not, have the server insert the template into the page automatically.<br> | ||
I know that those pages would very likely look wrong if the template wasn't already included and the preexisting text formatted per the template . However, the badly formatted page would be screaming "FIX ME!" and hopefully someone would do just that.<br> | I know that those pages would very likely look wrong if the template wasn't already included and the preexisting text formatted per the template .

: I'm unsure what problem you are referencing. There are many Templates in the [[:Category:Template]]. What Template are you looking for? Where do you want to place the Template? As [[Wiki Department|Wiki Manager]] I have access to a powerful [[User:ArinBot]] that can change thousands of Wiki Pages up to and including insert a Template if it isn't already present on a Wiki Page. | |||
: When I design Templates I indeed design them to fail quickly and loudly if the user made an error. As an example, see the ugly red text generated by [[Template:Infobox agent]]. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 16:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC) | |||
