Templates are special pages which reduce the need for writing the same thing multiple times. For general information on creating and using templates, see Meta-Wiki's page on templates. This page will list and explain the templates available on this wiki. Full information on a given template can be found on its talk page.
One important feature of templates is their ability to take arguments. A template with no arguments is called as
{{template_name}}
Note that the "Template:" part of the name is left out. To send arguments, depending on how many the template receives, one writes
{{template_name|argument_1=value_1|argument_2=value_2|...|argument_n=value_n}}
