Editing Brighter Shores:Templates

{{shortcut|BS:T|BS:TEMP|BS:TMP}}

'''Templates''' are used to duplicate the same content across more than one page. Changing a template in one place will immediately propagate the changes to all the pages that use it.

This page lists templates of this wiki. ''You'' can even create a template, just as long as you are sure it will be used on many pages or will benefit the wiki in some way, and that you or another editor can [[Brighter Shores:Template policy|document it well]]. For more information on templates, check out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_namespace Wikipedia's template page] or [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template Wikimedia's template page].

A list of all Brighter Shores Wiki templates is available at <span class="plainlinks">[https://brightershoreswiki.org/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=10 All pages (Template namespace)]</span>. For a list of templates, see [[Special:Allpages/Template:|this page]]. Unused templates can be found at [[Special:Unusedtemplates]].

To insert a template into a page, type <code><nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki></code> (this is known as a ''tag'') somewhere on the page, whether it be at the top or at the bottom or in a certain section. Every page with that tag in it will display the template text. TemplateName is the name after the colon symbol, e.g. the TemplateName for [[Template:Cleanup]] is Cleanup, so typing <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup}}</nowiki></code> will add that tag to a page.
