Page Layout Templates and special editing tips

This is the desired page structure. Unused portions can be simply omitted/deleted. Desire to begin with a large map of the trail ({{Trail Map}}), then table of contents (__TOC__), then onto the page content.

{{Trail Map}}

__TOC__

==Trail Overview==

==How To Get There==

==Route Description==

==Typical Conditions==

==Fees, Permits, etc.==

==After the Hike==

==Miscellaneous Information==

==Gallery==
{{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}

Useful templates in text sections
Name	Template code to insert	Description
Trail Map	`{{Trail Map}}` or `{{Trail Map \|Other Trails=<optional> \|Zoom Cancel=<optional, any entry to envoke>}}`	Returns a large topo map showing the trailhead and parking location. Replace <optional> with comma separated trails on this website. For the current trail page and any specified 'Other Trails' it will also show any map markers and KML file from the trail page. When displaying, if a KML file is found with the name of the trail page, it will provide a link under the map to download the kml file or to upload a replacement. If not found, it provides a link to upload a KML file. The Zoom Cancel command can be used if there are added map markers much beyond the uploaded KML, as default behavior is to zoom in on the KML.
Park trail gallery	`{{Park trail gallery\|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}`	Returns a photo gallery of the images associated with a specified trail. This same template can be used for Parks simply by replacing Trail with Park. Images need to be tagged to enable the template to find them and show them.

Simple Tables are available to easily add tables to your page. This allows more "logical" and compact addition of simple tables to the page. You can also type out a table in a spreadsheet and save the content as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and paste it between the table commands. Tab delimited is useful if you want to use commas in the text. Excel's "Save as..." includes an option to save as either tab or comma delimited text files. After saving it, open the created text file, then paste the contents between the tab open and close commands. See the link for details but most usage is likely as follows (omit "sep=comma" if the data is tab delimited):

{{Trail Map|Other Trails=Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park),River Mountain Road,Cross Ridges Trail,Pretty Ridge Trail,Front Hollow Road}} __TOC__ == Trail Overview ==  Located in [[Bays Mountain Park]]. Run or ride up to the Antennas via a trail straight up the hollow. "Azalea" Trail is a misnomer as there are no azaleas along this path, but a forest of maples, tulip poplars, ferns, and other hardwoods to enjoy. == How to get there ==  From the main parking lot, pass through or around the bird and wolf habitats to reach Lake Road. Continue around to marked trailhead. == Route Description==  The path runs right up the hollow along side of an intermittent runoff stream. One up on Bays Mountain Road, many folks would continue up to the Antennas for the view of downtown Kingsport. The trail has connections to [[Trail connects to::Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park)]], [[Trail connects to::Big Oak Trail]], [[Trail connects to::River Mountain Road]], [[Trail connects to::Bays Mountain Road]] <tab class=wikitable sep=comma head=top> Miles,Azalea Trail,Miles,Elevation (ft) 0.0,Trailhead at [[Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park)|Lake Road]],1.4,1860 1.0,Junction with [[Big Oak Trail|Big Oak Trail]],0.4, 1.4,Trailhead at [[Bays Mountain Road|Bays Mountain Road]],0.0,2250 </tab> :::The following elevation profile proceeds from Lake Road to Bays Mountain Road. [[Image:BMP_Azalea_Trail_profile.JPG]] == Typical Conditions ==  Hard packed and sometimes rutted trail. The runoff stream can flow down the trail during spring or hard rains. Park does a great job of cutting through the blowdowns. == Regulations ==  Do not mess with the electrical boxes along the trail - they are live! == Photos == {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
