Help:List of Templates

Please update this list whenever you create a new template.

This list needs brief descriptions for each template. Please expand this article by adding these descriptions.

For info on how to use these templates, see Using Templates.

Text

These templates are macros for text that wrap common HTML or wikicode around its parameter(s) (e.g. {{tl}} and {{tlx}}), or are convenient shorthand for odd but commonly-used characters (e.g. {{b}} and {{[[Template:#|#]]}} or characters that can't be used directly in some contexts (e.g. {{!}}).

• Template:! "|" (pipe character). Use this in template parameters, tables, etc., where | has a special meaning.
• Template:b "♭" (flat)
• Template:n "♮" (natural)
• Template:s "♯" (sharp)
• Template:Tl - "Template link". Use this for linking to a template. Primarily used in Template and Help documentation.
• Template:Tlx - "Template link expanded". Use this for showing how to use a template. Primarily used in Template and Help documentation.
• Template:· "·" (middle dot or interpunct). Used to ensure the middle dot is placed correctly in every circumstance. Used mostly in templates.
• Template:bull "•" (bullet). Used as a larger version of the middle dot or for very custom lists. Used mostly in templates.
