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.==

==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}} __TOC__ == Trail Overview == Short, steep hike to a small, but tall cascading waterfall in the Dennis Cove area == How to get there ==  From Johnson City, TN #Head south on Roan Street for 3.5 miles passing under I-26. #Take left/east onto TN359/Okolona Road and travel 1.4 miles. #Take right/south onto TN361 over to US19E for nine miles. The road starts as Laurels Road, then Dry Creek Road and finally Gap Creek Road. #Follow US321 including left turn into town of Hampton. #Take right onto Dennis Cove Road. # At 4.2 miles, the Appalachian Trail crosses the road with parking on left. An option if making a full loop hike. # At 4.5 miles to Coon Den Falls trailhead is on right, with just space for a single vehicle. Trail is marked as CNF 37 with blue blazes. == Route Description== [[File:Coon den falls profile.png|thumb|right|Profile chart]] The falls are 0.5 mile up the moderately steep trail. An in-and-out hike can be 1.0-1.6 miles round trip depending on where you had to park. A 3.3 mile loop hike can be created by joining the A.T., blue blaze, and road walk. Park at the A.T. lot. Head southbound on the A.T. uphill following the white blazes through older farm pasture, and into the forest. A couple of rock outcroppings provide views of the nearby mountains. At 1.7 miles, take left onto blue blazed Coon Den Falls Trail located in a saddle. Travel downhill for 0.8 miles to reach the falls on right. For this loop, once done admiring the falls, continue another 0.5 miles down to the roadway. Hang a left and carefully walk 0.6 mile single file facing traffic back to parking. {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- !Miles !Coon Den Falls Loop Hike !Elevation |- |0.0 miles |Parking Area |2,515 feet |- |1.7 miles |Upper Trailhead on A.T. |3,140 feet |- |2.5 miles |Waterfall |4,843 feet |- |3.0 miles |Lower trailhead |2,580 feet |- |3.6 miles |Dennis Cove parking area |2,515 feet |- |} == Typical Conditions ==  A steep and rocky trail follows Coon Den Branch stream. If you connect with the A.T., a short section is very steep. In April 2016, the upper trail section was fairly overgrown. ==Fees, Permits, etc. ==  No permit or fee. == After the Hike ==  Double waterfall day... head over to [[Laurel Fork Gorge|Laurel Falls]] for another experience. == Misc. Information ==  This path used to be part of the Appalachian Trail, until the latter was relocated.
