Forum:Passing arguments to central templates

I created a template Mrjoeterrace so that I could have the same information on all of the wikis that I edit. However, it would be nice to pass information to the template so that I can include custom information for a specific wiki as the need arises (i.e. change the colors used in my box to match the theme used on the wiki, or include additional text). Anyhow, I thought that I had set this up correctly, but it is not working as I desire. Any thoughts out there as to how I can do this (or whether I can do this at all)?

I also tried this out at Sandbox for central Wiki testing. The first instance should be customized with different colors and text and the second should be the default, but these both display as the default.

Thanks in advance, Mrjoeterrace 14:30, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
