Editing Help:Template (section)

=== Syntax ===
* '''<nowiki><includeonly></includeonly></nowiki>''' - Optional tags you can place around the workhorse code that defines what the template does. It will cause the code to not display on the template page, improving the appearance of the page since most variables will be undefined. Also it will not compete with an example in situations where only one of an item can be displayed, such as a table of contents.
* '''<nowiki><noinclude></noinclude></nowiki>''' - Anything between these tags will be processed and displayed only when the page is being viewed directly; it will not be included or substituted in normal usage when the template is being referenced.
* '''<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>''' - The first unnamed variable (parameter) from the template invocation. That is, on another page where <nowiki>{{Related|Weapons|Armor|Loot}}</nowiki> is used, Weapons would be the first unnamed variable. Increment the number for successive variables, for example <nowiki>{{{3}}}</nowiki> would reference the third unnamed variable (Loot). Where this term (<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>) is used in your template, the variable's value will be inserted. So if <nowiki>[[{{{1}}}]]</nowiki> is in your template, it will be show up as [[Loot]] on the page where you used the template.
* '''<nowiki>{{{1|}}}</nowiki>''' - You can declare a default value for any variable by inserting a pipe and a default value. If the variable is undefined the default value will be given instead. For example, if the template uses <nowiki>{{{1|''No Link''}}}</nowiki> then if no value was passed, it will be assigned "No Link."
* '''<nowiki>{{{Variable}}}</nowiki>''' - A named variable has an explicit name assigned with the equals sign when using the template. For example, on the page using the template you could have <nowiki>{{Business Card|Name=John Doe}}</nowiki>. This would mean that for the template "Business Card" the named variable "Name" has a value of "John Doe" and when using this on the actual template page you would use <nowiki>{{{Name}}}</nowiki> to reference this variable's value (John Doe).
* '''<nowiki>{{{Variable|}}}</nowiki>''' - As described above for <nowiki>{{{1|}}}</nowiki> you can also set a default value for named variables.  This can be useful for templates where you will usually use a standard value but want to retain the option of specifying a value. When using the default, just leave out the variable. For example, <nowiki>{{{align|center}}}</nowiki>. This would still let you set align=right or align=left when using the template, but if you don't use align at all, it will be center. Keep in mind if align is left blank (align = ) then the default will not be used because the value is an empty string. In other words there are three possibilities, in the example below align has a value of "top," margin has an empty value, and style is absent and would use the default value if one is given for the style variable:
<pre>
{{Template
 | align = top
 | margin = 
}}
</pre>
:One way around this that would handle both situations (completely absent and just a blank value) would be to use <code><nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{{align|}}}||<value if absent or blank>|<value if present and nonblank>}}</nowiki></code>. This comparison sets an empty string as the default, so if it is either not present or blank it will lead give the same result.
* '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' -
