Segédsablonok

Segédsablonok, which translates to "helper templates" or "utility templates" in English, are a type of template used in wiki environments, most notably on MediaWiki-powered sites like Wikipedia. Their primary purpose is to provide reusable pieces of code or text that assist in the creation and maintenance of other templates or wiki pages. Unlike content templates that directly display information to the reader, segédsablonok are often invisible to the end-user and function behind the scenes.

These templates can perform a variety of tasks. For example, they might be used to format data consistently, such as dates or numerical values. They can also handle complex conditional logic, deciding which content to display based on certain parameters. Another common use is to simplify the creation of other templates by abstracting away repetitive code. This promotes modularity and makes it easier to update common functionalities across multiple templates simultaneously.

Segédsablonok are instrumental in maintaining consistency and efficiency within a wiki's structure. By centralizing common functions, they reduce the potential for errors and ensure a uniform presentation of information. Editors can leverage these utility templates to build more sophisticated content templates without needing to master intricate programming syntax for every element. Their existence contributes significantly to the scalability and maintainability of large wiki projects.
