Templates are used to provide a quick way of linking to a large amount of information. All templates are surrounded by a double pair of curly braces, like this: {{Cleanup}}.
This page will list the major editing templates in use. General-purpose templates are listed on the List of templates page. The full list can be seen on the Category:Templates page.
Page creation[]
Templates in this section are used when creating new pages page.
Template | Description | Output |
subst:Page | Used to substitute a page with a starting template. "Page" can be any of the other templates listed below. | (This is a basic function of the wiki system, so an example cannot be provided.) |
Sandbox | Adds the Sandbox message. | Refer to the Template:Sandbox page for details. |
Welcome | Adds the standard Welcome message. Added automatically to their User Talk page the first time someone makes an edit. | Refer to the Template:Welcome page for details. |
WelcomeIP | Adds the standard Welcome message for anonymous IP editors. Added automatically to their User Talk page the first time someone makes an edit. | Refer to the Template:WelcomeIP page for details. |
Page editing[]
Templates in this section are used to control the appearance of a page.
Template | Description | Output |
Border-radius | Used as part of a Style command to make the corners of a table rounded. | See the Template:Border-radius page for instructions on use. |
ClearAll | Causes the text that follows it to appear below any objects like tables and images floating on the left and right sides. Duplicate of the clr template. | ![]() ![]() If this text is long enough, it should appear underneath both pictures. This long and rambly extra sentence should ensure that it is, but just in case it doesn't here's a few more words. |
ClearLeft | Causes the text that follows it to appear below any objects like tables and images floating on the left side only. Duplicate of the clrl template. | ![]() ![]() |
ClearRight | Causes the text that follows it to appear below any objects like tables and images floating on the right side only. Duplicate of the clrr template. | ![]() ![]() |
DEFAULTSORT:Lastname, Firstname | Used to override the automatic sorting created based the page name. | Not displayed except in the page list of a category. An example of its usage is: {{DEFAULTSORT:Flynn, Phineas}} |
HeadingA|text | Creates a header box and adds it to the Table of Contents. | Heading A example. |
HeadingB|text | Same as HeadingA but with a more distinct border. | Heading B example. |
HeadingC|text | Creates a header box with a lighter background. | Heading C example. |
HeadingD|text | Creates a header box with Christmas colors. | Heading D example. |
The next two templates can affect multiple pages. For example, if NOTOC was placed on a page such as "Rollercoaster", then the the Table of Contents would be suppressed. If someone were to then transclude "Rollercoaster" into another page by way of {{Rollercoaster}}, then the Table of Contents would be suppressed on that page as well. | ||
__NOTOC__ | Prevents the Table of Contents from automatically being created. | (Example not provided.) |
__NOEDITSECTION__ | Prevents editing of individual sections on a page. (The whole page will have to be edited.) | (Example not provided.) |
Tocright | Causes the Table of Contents that is automatically created to appear on the right side of the screen. | (This template should be used only as needed. The Table of Contents will begin exactly where you place this command on the page, not just at the top, which can cause the text to wrap around it in a manner that is not desired.) |
Infoboxes[]
Infoboxes provide a basic framework and color scheme for information. They appear on the right side of the page and are usually the first item on the page. Any fields that currently do not have any information in them should not be deleted in case information does become available in the future.
