Below is a set of templates which you can import into your wiki. You can upload the entire package. After unpacking the zip file, you can install all templates at the same time or individual templates as needed.

Instructions

  1. Download the package as zip file.
  2. Unzip the archive.
  3. Go to the special page Special:Import on your wiki (this page is only visible to users with admin rights).
    • Select the individual template file you want to upload.
    • Enter a Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required for the upload, you can simply enter hw (for: hallowelt).
  4. Repeat the import for any other import file from the template package.

The templates are now available in your wiki and can be added using the Insert > Template function of Visual Editor.
