Mediawiki Includes

How did they create this include in Mediawiki, for the Michigan-geo-stub? How do I create includes, for things like voting or maps, and ensure that people only include one per page?

I was looking for similar but different information, and came across your question. I then came across what I think is the answer to your question! So I thought i’d share it with you. If you follow this link, you’ll probably work it out from there.

…at lease it might answer the question of how to create includes… Ensuring that people include one per page, well, I’ve not checked it out at all but I suspect MediaWiki handles it with that “boilerplate metadata” div class with id=”stub”. If it doesn’t, it should ;-)
