Each template will have the TOC forced at the top. Below that will be a link to a real entry for use as an example. Below that will be any general notes that are needed. Then there will be a section header for code, with just the <nowiki><pre></nowiki> wrapped code text, for direct copy and pasting. --[[An Adventurer]] 08:53, 4 November 2008 (CST) | Each template will have the TOC forced at the top.

Also, I think we need to decide on a Page Template Template :P
All of our templates are different. Some have an example and code. Some have just the code, some link to a separate page with the code, some you have to edit to copy the code. It would be helpful, especially for new members, if they all sort of looked the same.
Here is what I suggest: Each template will have the TOC forced at the top. Below that will be a link to a real entry for use as an example. Below that will be any general notes that are needed. Then there will be a section header for code, with just the <pre> wrapped code text, for direct copy and pasting. --An Adventurer 08:53, 4 November 2008 (CST)
