Templates

What are they?

Templates are a simple way to insert content in to an article without having to use a lot of Wiki markup. They are most often used for complex things like navigation boxes at the foot of articles, of fancy infoboxes.

• Templates are stored in the Template namespace e.g. Template:Captain's Log
• When a template is updated, the changes are rolled out everywhere the template is used
• They can make use of variables, to insert information in specified places in the template.

How do I use one?

Inserting a template in to an article varies according to the template being used.

• For a simple template without any parameters, you use the code {{templatename}}
• If a template has named parameters, you use the code {{templatename |paramname=Some |paramname2=Content}}
  • Spaces are not needed between parameters, but can help make the template more readable to editors
  • In the template code, named parameters appear as {{{varname}}}. Text you enter for that parameter will be inserted in its place.
• If the template doesn't have named parameters, any text placed after a vertical pipe | is treated as a numbered parameter: {{templatename|Some|Content}}
  • In the template code, numbered parameters appear as {{{1}}}. Each subsequent pipe adds a new numbered parameter.

Be careful with pipes

Any vertical pipes placed within the template braces {{ }} will be interpreted as the start of a new parameter. If you need to insert a pipe as part of a parameter's content, use: {{!}} ^(Usage)
