PikminFanon:Templates

There are many templates in use in Pikmin Fanon; these are only a subset, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.
 * Category:Templates should cover all templates in the wiki, categorized into various subcategories.
 * The Template namespace always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are templates?
Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over on different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. ). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on either the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags) or the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Template.

Tag for deletion
delete
 * Add this to an article to nominate it for deletion. It will add the article to Category:Candidates for deletion.

Disambiguation articles
disambiguation
 * If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterwards.
 * Using disambiguation marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner to the article and categorizing it under Category:Disambiguation pages. Add links to the various articles under the banner.
 * For more information, see Help:Disambiguation.

Stubs
stub
 * When a page has little or no useful information, then it is likely a stub. This template will include them in Category:Stubs, and is used to list which articles need expanding.
 * For more information, see Help:Stub.

Clear
clear
 * This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code . Its use should generally be avoided.
 * You can use clear instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
 * You can also use

or

to clear only left or right floats.

For
name
 * Use at the top of articles as a simple "for x see y" template.

Main article
main article
 * Use at the start of a section to link to the main article on it.

Right-aligned Table of Contents

 * This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

T is for template
template
 * This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

Welcome
welcome
 * This template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
 * The template is also very suitable for having "subst:" prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about "how to edit".

Wikipedia

 * Wikipedia-related templates. Use w to link to articles on Wikipedia.
