P.MysteryUniverse Wiki:Templates

There are many templates in use in P.MysteryUniverse Wiki; this is an overview, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones.

• Category:Templates should cover all templates in the wiki, categorized into the various subcategories.
• The Template namespace (found from Special:Allpages) always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are Templates?

A template on a wiki is pre-made code or text; a means to insert the same content over and over in pages. Templates are inserted in a page by putting "{{template name}}" somewhere (e.g. {{color}}). This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency. To go to the page of a template, as well as search for or make one, you must put "Template:" before the name, as that is their namespace.

The user can pass parameters to a template, to alter or add more information. A parameter is defined by text after a horizontal bar (|), after the template name (e.g. {{color|<blue>}}). They can be required for the template to function, or be optional.

Detailed instructions on the usage of a template should exist on a subpage of it named "/doc" with {{documentation}} on the template's page (preferred); or sometimes on the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags). Although not required, a template can also have TemplateData on its documentation subpage. It helps visual editor users, or can just serve as secondary documentation.

Common Templates

This is a list of frequently used or useful templates so editors can get familiar with why and how to use them. More information will always be found on the page of the template itself. Clicking the template name will take you to the template's page, where you can see how it is used.

General Wiki Templates

See Category:General wiki templates. These are general-purpose templates that can be used all around the wiki.

Template	Description
{{T}}	This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the template) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.
{{Anchor}}	Gives an id to content so that it can be linked to, similarly to a header. For example, P.MysteryUniverse Wiki:Templates#Anchor will link to this row. It is used extensively on this page.
{{Collapse}}	A template meant to collapse long lists in particular.
{{Color}}	Colors text.
{{Clr}}	These templates are used to replace the code <br style="clear:both">. It clears space below things like images and tables, so the following stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of it. {{clrl}} and {{clrr}} clear only left and right floats.
{{Clrl}}
{{Clrr}}
{{For}}	Similar to disambig, use at the top of article to link other articles that may be or are related.
{{Infobox}}	Used to easily create a basic infobox when one other than the pre-made ones is needed.
{{Main}}	Use at the beginning of a section to link to the main article on it.
{{Needmoreinfo}}	Consider it a lite version of Missinginfo; can be used directly in areas something is missing when its so minor it doesn't warrant using Missinginfo.
{{Wp}}	These templates are used to link to pages on other wikis: Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Bulbapedia, and Bulbagarden Archives.
{{SeWp}}
{{Bp}}
{{Bga}}
{{Tt}}	These templates display text when the content in the template is hovered over. {{Wdstt}} is almost always preferred as it can contain wikitext (i.e. formatting such as links) and works on mobile when tapped.
