This page provides an index for a wide range of '''standard templates in use within Wikipedia'''. It also gives an overview of what subjects are covered within each heading. 

==Using this page==
The '''bold links''' at the top of each cell lead to detailed pages that describe the templates in that section in detail, and how and when to use them. 

If you cannot find the template you are looking for, please click on the section headers that seem most relevant, since there may be templates for a particular usage covered on the detailed pages, but '''not''' listed in the table below.

If after searching, you still cannot find the template you need, you can request it on [[Wikipedia:Requested templates]]. For help on creating templates, see [[Help:Template]], or contact a user who has identified themselves as an [[:Category:User template coder|adept template coder]]. Note that in order to maintain consistent design of templates there have been significant discussions about a variety of templates at both [[Wikipedia talk:Article message boxes]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Talk page templates]].

A more comprehensive category system may also be viewed at [[:Category:Wikipedia templates]].

== Wiki templates ==  <!-- content from WIKIPEDIA:TEMPLATE, that now redirects here -->
The ''wiki templates'' are powerful tools for editing Wikipedia articles. 
A "wiki template" is a kind of [[Web_template#Sub-template|sub-template]], and the "Wikipedia Edit Language" uses the notation <code><nowiki>{{template-name}}</nowiki></code> for the sub-template reference. 
<!-- 
Finding templates:
* [[Wikipedia:Template messages]] - For "listing by category" the existing templates which you may find useful.
* [[Wikipedia:Navigational templates]] and [[Category:Navigational_templates]] - For "listing by category" the existing "navigational templates".  
* [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] - Takes some text and expands all templates in it recursively.
* [[Special:Unusedtemplates]] - Lists all pages in the template namespace which are not included in another page. 
* Use <code><nowiki>[[Template:template-name]]</nowiki></code> on edit to produce a link to the ''template declaration'' (source code defining the template).

Help to use/edit template: 
* [[m:Help:Substitution]] - more detailed information on subst template (on the Meta-Wiki).
* [[Help:template]] - wiki template help page.
* [[Help:Editing#Templates]] - another help page.

Explanations and types of wiki-templates:
* [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]] 
* [[Template:Subst]] - a template that reminds users to subst.
-->

'''Technical note''':  "Wiki template references" are embedded on the "Wikipedia Edit Language", as a 
[[web template]] embedded language, using the open <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code> and close <code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> ''hooks'', for enclose the [[m:Help:ParserFunctions|wiki template language syntax]], where valid names and valid instructions can be used, like template reference, as <code><nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki></code>, and conditions, as <code><nowiki>{{#if:{{{variable_foo|}}} | foo yes |foo is blank }}</nowiki></code>.
