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 complete description is given below.

List of Templates

More information for each template can be found by clicking on the template name.

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 optional 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:

{{ToDoList|Buy milk.|Return videos.|Wash car.}}

How the list is formatted will depend on exactly how the actual template is setup, but here is one possibility:

To Do List


  1. Buy milk.
  2. Return videos.
  3. Wash car.
