List of wiki templates that are used in formatting areas/items that recur frequently across different pages. Some templates are simple and do not require any parameters while others do. A more [[Wiki Templates#Parameters|complete description]] is given below.
 
== List of Templates ==
''More information for each template can be found by clicking on the template name.''
=== Table of Contents ===
* [[Template:LeftToC|<nowiki>{{LeftToC}}</nowiki>]] - Table of contents appears on left side with text wrapping along the right.
* [[Template:RightToC|<nowiki>{{RightToC}}</nowiki>]] - Table of contents appears on right side with text wrapping along the left.
 
=== Navigation ===
* [[Template:Related|<nowiki>{{Related}}</nowiki>]] - List of related topics, replaces "See also" links. For one to ten links.
* [[Template:Patch Navigation Links|<nowiki>{{Patch Navigation Links}}</nowiki>]] - Group of links that navigates to next, previous, and all patches.
* [[Template:Announcements Navigation Links|<nowiki>{{Announcements Navigation Links}}</nowiki>]] - Group of links that navigate to next, previous, and all announcements.
 
=== Quotations ===
* [[Template:Quotation|<nowiki>{{Quotation}}</nowiki>]]
* [[Template:Turbine Developer|<nowiki>{{Turbine Developer}}</nowiki>]]
 
== Parameters ==
A parameter, or argument, is information that the template needs to complete its job. If a parameter is required, you must include it, if it is optional you can omit it if it doesn't apply. For example if someone gives you a to do list, the purpose of the list is clear, you are supposed to do the items on the list. But for any given list, the items will differ. A template that requires parameters is the same idea. Since a to do list can be very long, the template might include 30 option parameters, meaning you could have a list from zero to thirty items long. Parameters are separated with single pipes ( | ). Here's an example of formatting a to do list with three items using the fictional ToDoList template:
 
<pre>
{{ToDoList|Buy milk.|Return videos.|Wash car.}}
</pre>
 
How the list is formatted will depend on exactly how the actual template is setup, but here is one possibility:
 
<div style="background-color:#E0E0E0; border:2px solid #C0C0C0;width:50%;padding:30px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:10%;margin-right:40%;">
<font color=#000000><big>'''To Do List'''</big>
----
# Buy milk.
# Return videos.
# Wash car.
</font></div>
