Template Explanation
  • You need to create the normal Table parameters yourself though, {| and |}, and insert this template within it at the top.

This template will help unify the overall look of the "Template Explanation" box, by inserting the header and styling for you. Because of easy breaking of template when filling it with examples of template use, I had to alter it so you have to insert it within table parameters instead of it including the table.

How to Use

{| {{Template Explanation}}
The information about specific template
|}

Optional commands you can use

  • title= will let you change the text in the header
  • style= lets you customize the styling of the content cell (to change padding and such).

Using the "help templates" for repeating information

When multiple templates function identically, then it can be tedious to fill in repeating information. Thats why I have made a few help-templates

  • Please add any template specific information before the help template
  • Insert the appropriate help template at the end, within the Explanation section
Help Templates and info
Tag/help General information about Tag templates
Table Cell Templates/help General information about Table Cell Templates
Multi-template directions
Navbox/help how to use the Navbox templates together
LearnSpell/help how to use the LearnSpell templates together
