== Syntax ==


A template is inserted into a page using the syntax:  
{{main|Help:Templates}}


  <nowiki>{{TemplateName|param1=A|param2=B|param3=C|...}}</nowiki>
Templates are embedded in your article using the template syntax described in the [[Help:Templates]] page. For each template described in this page, examples are given.


where <tt>TemplateName</tt> is the name of the template, and <tt>param1</tt> is the name of a parameter given the value <tt>A</tt>, <tt>param2</tt> is a parameter given the value <tt>B</tt>, and so on.

Banners are nice boxes which run across the width of your article.  Some common ones are the [[Template:Stub|Stub template]]:
 
<nowiki>{{main|Triparic language}}</nowiki>
 
And some templates may be so simple they need no parameters at all:


  <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>
  <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>


In the event you wish to make your wiki code more readable, you may insert line breaks between the parameters of a template.  So the example at the top of this section could be written:
which yields:


<nowiki>{{TemplateName
{{stub|nocategory=yes}}
|param1=A
|param2=B
|param3=C
|...}}</nowiki>
