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

{{Cleanup}}

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 [[Special:AllPages/Template:|here]]. To request a template that does not exist, please do so [[User_talk:Hofmic|here]]. Below are tables of all the templates and their usages.

| 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 [[User_talk:Hofmic|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:Infobox|Template page]] for usage information.
