How do I use the template? By putting the following transclusion placeholder line in a (preferably new and blank) wiki article:
<pre> {{subst:Template:How_do_I}}</pre>
Choose the "Save page"/"Save Changes" button a new page with that one short placeholder line inserts an editable 'work in progress' document. When MediaWiki saves the article, it will clone most (MediaWiki will omit the blue background parts) of the content this reference template. (The "Show Preview" option only show the results, not the markup formatting control.) You can use the appended special formatting example template as a pre-populated virtual Copy&Paste clipboard. Snip pieces to paste special typographical formatting to enhance the outline.
Adding a ''feature documentation'' link pointing to the introduction of the interface element in the wiki will relieve you of the burden explaining how to find the feature.

Since you are reading '''''this paragraph''''', then the WikiContributor has not progressed to the point of trimming out the excess template material. That means the wikipage is probably not ready for collaborative editing yet. Multiple people editing ''now'' might unintentionally overwrite their work. Please post your suggestion on the '''Discussion''' page instead of directly editing the content.}}

Once the template content is cloned, Edit the page. Paste the raw '''[[:Category:Tutorials|Tutorials]]''' outline for your new '''[[:Category:How_do_I...|How Do I...]]''' article above the '''See also''' section. This "raw Tutorial outline" might be simply pasting in a copy of a useful thread from one of the Gramps maillists or the Discourse forum.

Finding a ''[[Gramps_Glossary|Gramps Glossary]] term'' to link may be easier than choosing the best introductory section in the wiki.
