EditTips

  • If the noinclude tags are omitted, article pages will appear in the Template categories.
  • Omit whitespace between noinclude tags and template contents.
  • Generally, templates are only categorized in the Template categories.
  • Provide a link to a template by adding temp|, such as {{temp|Talk}}, which will appear as {{Talk}}.
