There are many **templates** in use in ; these are only a subset,
|
|
representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you
|
|
feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.
|
|
|
|
- [:Category:Templates](:Category:Templates "wikilink") should cover
|
|
all templates in the wiki.
|
|
- The Template namespace (found from
|
|
[Special:AllPages](Special:AllPages "wikilink")) always has all
|
|
templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.
|
|
|
|
## What are templates?
|
|
|
|
Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over
|
|
in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of
|
|
duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure
|
|
consistency.
|
|
|
|
Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the
|
|
template (e.g. ). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's
|
|
page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.
|
|
|
|
**Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:**
|
|
|
|
1. **a subpage using **; or
|
|
2. the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
|
|
3. the template's talk page.
|
|

## Article management templates
|
|
|
|
### Nominate an article for deletion
|
|
|
|
- Add this to an article to nominate it for deletion. It will add the
|
|
article to [:Category:Candidates for
|
|
deletion](:Category:Candidates_for_deletion "wikilink").
|
|
|
|
### Disambiguation articles
|
|
|
|
- If you have several articles that have similar or identical names,
|
|
you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article
|
|
name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets
|
|
afterwards. For example:
|
|
|
|
<!-- end list -->
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
**The Prince** \<-- disambiguation page, with links to:
|
|
-
|
|
The Prince (frog)
|
|
The Prince (human)
|
|
|
|
<!-- end list -->
|
|
|
|
- Using marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner
|
|
to the article and categorizing it under
|
|
[:Category:Disambiguations](:Category:Disambiguations "wikilink").
|
|
Add links to the various articles under the banner.
|
|
- For more information, see
|
|
[Help:Disambiguation](Help:Disambiguation "wikilink").

## General wiki templates
|
|
|
|
### T is for template
|
|
|
|
- This template allows you to show example template code (with a link
|
|
to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used
|
|
extensively on this page.
|
|
|
|
## Where you may find more templates
|
|
|
|
- [Templates Wiki](w:c:templates "wikilink")
|
|
- Wikipedia; may be copied with the proper acknowledgment, but some
|
|
need tweaking to work properly on Wikia, so use a Wikia version if
|
|
possible.
