Forum:Common userpage with relative links?

Hi, I'm trying to make a common userpage at User:MoscowModder/common, and then use that as a template in other wikis using. However, on the page that calls for the template, the links point to the pages on wikia, rather than the current wiki. Does anyone know how to make this work? -- MoscowModder 16:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Isn't the "template" call supposed to be instead ? — TulipVorlax 20:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

and at the end   are inserted --
 * No you can't, the only namespace here at central that can be transcluded crosswiki its the "template" namespace so he has to create a page Template:User:MoscowModder or Template:User:MoscowModder/common (if he wants that "common" on the name) and use   on the wiki where he wants to transclude it with no variables as they dont work on transcluded crosswiki templates also at the start of the template a


 * In fact, i think i made an error and the "c:" part should be leftout.
 * On fr.guildwars, we use to have the gaming template on the main page. — TulipVorlax 22:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, same... i have correct my crosswiki links above, and as you mention its at (Template:Wikia_Gaming_Footer/fr) the template namespace other if it was in another namespace it would not crosswiki transclude --

Thanks, guys! I didn't know it was allowed to put user pages in the template namespace. -- MoscowModder 12:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Well... new home, same problem. It still points to the pages on the central Wikia. Now what?
 * mmm i did not check/read you where interested on using it for common links, other way i would have tell you that you cant, all links work as if you where at the "central wiki" (also remember i told you no variables) and all links if using fullurl or other automatic stuff that you expect to change in different wikis are at the end variables. --

Ok, a clarification: any central wikia page can be transcluded to any wikia wiki. However, the transclusion defaults to look for the template namespace (just like when transcluding normal templates). note that the extra ":" makes the "transcluder" not append "Template:", thus allowing you to transclude the exact page that matches the page title you specified. - 16:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * transcludes Template:Wikia
 * transcludes Spore
 * transcludes User:Ose


 * Cizagna - thanks for telling me. That is really weird.  I'll have to try something different.
 * Ose - Yeah, I know that you can use non-templates, but thanks anyway.

Thanks Ose, i keep putting the : in other place eg following old experience with other transclusions from other wikis.

MoscowModder, there is no automatic way but there can be semi-automatic things but it requires you to basically copy paste the info, for example having the template page here at central with the code inside a nowiki pre tags and just preview copy and copy paste the extra, you can add a date so you know when was the last update of the page against your translcusion or then have the template inside a collapsible table/div and hide automaticly so the copy paste its a bit easier or at least it would be great if you can substitute it but i have not find a way to substitute pages transcluded from central would make my life easier when im updating all my user pages since i use a sort of complex combination of transcluded, copy/paste and local pages interacting all to create my pages xD --
