Help:Templates
Templates allow the use of a certain object throughout the wiki without needing to write the object itself. All changes made to the object are propagated through the wiki automatically.

Using a template[edit]

Transcluding other pages[edit]
You can transclude any page in the wiki. If the page is in the (Main) namespace, make sure to add a colon (:) before the name of the page.
<noinclude> tags[edit]
If <noinclude> tags are used in the template, nothing inside them is transcluded.
