Line 1: Line 1:
Templates are little helpers which are used for recurring parts of a page. There a several types of templates which can be used in articles.

{{Under Construction}}
'''Templates''' are used to duplicate the same content across more than one page. Changing a template in one place will immediately propagate the changes to all the pages that use it.


== Amboxes/Head Boxes ==
This page lists templates of this wiki.
To insert a template into a page, type <nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki> (this is known as a ''tag'') somewhere on the page, whether it be at the top or at the bottom or in a certain section. Every page with that tag in it will display the template text. TemplateName is the name after the colon symbol, e.g. the TemplateName for [[Template:Cleanup]] is Cleanup, so typing <nowiki>{{Cleanup}}</nowiki> will add that tag to a page.
