Illustrated List of Templates[edit source]
MediaWiki can generate an alphabetic list of all templates, but the names are not always self-explanatory, and if you're trying to find a template whose name you don't know, you will either have to view the source code of a page that has it (if you know of such a page) or check every template in the list. This section, by contrast, is sorted roughly by function and also has all templates transcluded into it, so you can see not only the names but also the appearances.
Article management[edit source]
These templates say something about an article's content, and are generally placed at the top of pages. They may be used to inform readers (e.g. "this article is a story," "this article is not safe for work") or used to mark pages for editors and administrators (e.g. "this page is a stub," "this page needs to be deleted")
Maintenance[edit source]
These templates are used to mark pages that have some problem requiring the attention of administrators or editors.

Content marking[edit source]
These templates are used to inform readers about the content of their articles. Try not to create templates of this kind willy-nilly (why put a tag about the type of content in the article at the top of the page when the reader can just read it for him- or herself?), and certainly don't use too many (e.g. more than two or three) of them on one page, as they will stack up in a massive centered column at the top of the page, making it difficult to read.
{{Abandoned}} creates:
 |
This article is about a homebrew that has been abandoned by its creators. Prepare for broken rulesets, links, and promises. |
{{Best}} creates:
{{/co/}} creates:

{{meh}} creates:
|
This article is probably off-topic, but tolerated because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it. |
{{Mosaic}} creates:
 This article is related to the Mosaic project. |
{{Promotions}} creates:
 | This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you. |
{{Sc-fluff}} creates:
{{SectionalPromotions}} creates:
| This section contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you. |
{{Spoilers}} creates:
 This article contains spoilers! You have been warned. |
{{Story}} creates:
{{/vg/}} creates:
|
This is a /v/ related article, which we tolerate because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it. |
[edit source]
These templates have lots of links to articles that are related to each other (e.g. all of the vehicles used by the Imperium of Man). They can be placed at the bottom of these articles, which allows them to link to each other without requiring editors to make massive "See Also" sections at the bottom of each. They also make it easy to add new articles to the group -- rather than add a new link to every related article's "See Also" section, it only needs to be added once to the group template. As these templates grow, they should be made collapsible.

Infoboxes[edit source]
Information boxes are, as the name suggests, boxes that contain information. They are used at the tops of articles to provide information at a glance. For example, one of the first pieces of information that a reader would seek about a game is how many players can play it at once and how long a typical game lasts, so the Game Infobox template includes fields for that information.
