[edit] Introduction

Templates are pre-defined bits of wiki code that can be inserted into an article using {{TemplateName}}. A listing of available templates can be found on the Template Index.

[edit] Creating Templates

You can create your own templates. All you need to do is go to Template:Somepage (substitute Somepage for the name of your template) and add the relevant wiki code there. There are two rules:

1. Templates must be relevant and concise
2. Templates must be added to Template Index so others can reuse them
