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.

When using VisualEditor, you may insert the template by clicking the "Insert" notice on the top, then "{{}} Templates". You may search a template in there.

There are many templates in the wiki; you may visit them by:

Usage[]

To use a template, the most basic way to use them is using {{Template}} on a page. Many templates have extra parameters which can define what they do. Parameters need to be written usually this way: {{Template|Parameter|ParamterN}}

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:

  1. A /doc subpage using {{documentation}}; or
  2. the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
  3. the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates on Community Central.

Placing[]

Templates need to follow a certain order:

  1. Hatnotes. Always at the start of the article or section.
  2. Message boxes. Always placed after the hatnotes.
  3. Infoboxes. After the first two, if there is needed to use them.
  4. Navboxes. They are placed at the final of the article, just before categories.

Where you may find more templates[]

  • Templates Wiki
  • Dev Wiki, though more suitable for Lua-based templates.
  • Wikipedia or MediaWiki; may be copied with the proper acknowledgment, but some need tweaking to work properly on Fandom, so use a Fandom one if possible.
