Page Layout ExpandTemplates 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__

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=Ridge Top (Warriors Path State Park)}} Ridge Top is in black and Magic Carpet Ride in dark purple (and together makes a profile of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(character) famous hedgehog]!). __TOC__ == Trail Overview ==  Located in [[Warriors Path State Park]] as part of their Mountain Bike Trail system. A short trail up the ridge that turns into [[Ridge Top (Warriors Path State Park)|Ridge Top]] (and really both should be all considered one trail). == How to get there ==  From main entrance of [[Warriors Path State Park]]: #Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles. #Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles. #Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards. #Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles. #Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile. #Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel. Trailhead at gravel parking lot. == Route Description==  This trail connects to [[Trail connects to::Ridge Top (Warriors Path State Park)|Ridge Top]]. == Typical Conditions ==  The mountain biking association [http://ntmba.org/ SORBA Tri-Cities] handles the trail maintenance, thus generally in good condition. While there are no blazes to guide you through the forest, the narrow single tracks are well established. Grab a trail map at the parking lot kiosk to help you decipher intersections; some which could use signs. Be aware for approaching bike riders who can come up quickly on your group. Step aside to let them safely pass. == Photos == {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
