MegaGlest:Templates

Templates are "snippets" of code that can be inserted in an article with {{Template name}}. For example, the {{Cleanup Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece Template:T/piece}} template outputs this:

This article or section requires a cleanup in order to meet the Glest Wiki's quality standards.

You can edit this page to improve it.

Template:Clear

All templates exist in the Template: namespace, which means their name begins with Template:. To use the template, we simply exclude the Template: prefix and type in the name of the page surrounded by two "{" on each side. Some templates accept parameters after a "|", meaning we can specify more information to be used by the template. Some of these are optional, some are necessary.

Next, some templates use variables, meaning it has the variable name on the left, an equal sign, and the data that we pass as a parameter, such as the Faction template, which has variables such as Creator = Creator's Name. A full list of templates can be found here. To request a template that does not exist, please do so here. Below are tables of all the templates and their usages.

Info Boxes[edit]

For all Infoboxes, you should see their Template page and read the documentation there for more detail on their use before using, as they are more complex and have stricter guidelines than most templates.

Template Name	Example	Usage
{{Faction \|Faction name = \|Image = \|Techtree = \|Creator = \|Version = \|Link = \|Patch = \|Filesize = \|Archive format = }}	Template:Faction	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about factions. The patch field is optional, and the variable should be excluded completely if no patch is used.
{{Unit \|Unit Name = \|Image = \|Health = \|Energy = \|Resources = \|Armor = \|Faction = }}	Template:Unit	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about individual units.
{{Techtree \|Techtree name = \|Image = \|Techtree = \|Resources = \|Creator = \|Version = \|Link = \|Filesize = \|Archive format = }}	Template:Techtree	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about techtrees.
{{Tileset \|Tileset name = \|Image = \|Style = \|Creator = \|Version = \|Link = \|Filesize = \|Archive format = }}	Template:Tileset	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about tilesets.
{{Map \|Map name = \|Image = \|Players = \|Size = \|Creator = \|Filesize = \|Link = }}	Template:Map	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about maps.
{{Upgrade \|Upgrade name = \|Resources = \|Units = \|Upgrades = \|Affects = \|Type = \|Leads = }}	Template:Upgrade	Use at the top corner of the page (but under other templates) to give information about upgrades.
{{Infobox \|Box title = \|image = \|imagewidth = \|caption = \|Row 1 title = \|Row 1 info = }}	Template:Infobox	The generic infobox. Use this ONLY when using something just once and there's no chance of ever needing to use that info box again. Otherwise, create a template or Request a Template for that. If a template already exists, please use it instead of this generic template, which all other infoboxes depend upon. See the Template page for usage information.
