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}} __TOC__ ==Trail Overview== A longer walk around Ore Mine Hill consisting of multiple joining segments challenging to connect in the right sequence. Will have to return as did not successfully navigate to get a correct track. ==How To Get There== Park at Spoone Recreation Area. Note there are bathrooms nearby. Alternatively, the map shows a 0.20 mile Campground Connector Trail from that facility. ==Route Description== Starting at parking lot versus campground, below is a clockwise description using the park map, which differs from official total length. Trailhead sign at Spoone Rec. Area parking lot says 1.3 miles which happens to be Ore Mine Trail distance so an error? {| class="wikitable" |- ! Mileage !! Feature !! Elevation |- | 0.00 || Spoone Rec Area parking lot || 1120 |- | 0.01 || Split with [[Seven Sinkholes Trail]], so head right. || 1180 |- | 0.10 || Junction with [[Seven Sinkholes Trail]] || |- | 0.15 || Turn right for trail just above horse connector path || 1170 |- | 0.40 || Junction with horse connector path || 1150 |- | 0.70 || Head uphill || 1130 |- | 1.25 || Junction with [[Ore Mine Trail]] || |- | 1.65 || Spur to Campground || |- | 2.10 || Back to parking lot || |} ==Typical Conditions== A forest walk with half dozen opportunities to take a wrong turn. No sign of recent trail maintenance with a few blowdowns and encroaching growth. ==Miscellaneous Information== Park brochure says the trail follows portions of "goat paths" or crude roads followed by settlers in early 1900's. Passes by stone piles of former foundations. ==Gallery== {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
