This help page will explain what templates are and how to use them
What are Templates?
- Templates are used on wikis to add content and codes to pages, by simpling adding a {{Template}}, which will display the template's content as part of the wiki-page when viewed, while only actually being a short template-tag when you are editing the page.
- This frees the page of repetitive information or complex codes cluttering when you are editing a page.
How do I edit the content of those Templates?
To easily find and edit the active templates within a page:
- Press the "edit" button at the top of the page
- Scroll down to the bottom, below the text-editing area, there you will see a list of templates currently in use on the page, and a easy "edit" button next to each link.
- When you press the "edit" link next to the template name, you will be taken to the content of that template.
- You will often see <noinclude> </noinclude> tags at the top of those template pages, DO NOT REMOVE THOSE TAGS
What are those "noinclude" tags anyway?
- They prevent the content which is placed between them from being included on wiki-pages. The content of those tags will only be visible on the template page itself.
- What those tags contain is usually little information about what this template is ment for, or adding said templates to categories without effecting pages that use that template.
