class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Transclusion">transclusion</a>. Although the Template namespace is used for storing most templates, it is possible to transclude and substitute from other namespaces,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and so some template pages are placed in other namespaces, such as the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:User_namespace" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:User namespace">User namespace</a>. </p><p>Templates help maintain consistent formatting and aid navigation between articles. They often include optional and/or variable elements controlled by <a href="/wiki/Help:Template#Parameters" title="Help:Template">parameters</a> to allow for specialized use. Templates are also used to assist in a large variety of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Maintenance" title="Wikipedia:Maintenance">Wikipedia maintenance</a> tasks. Each template has a matching <code>Template talk:</code> page where editors can discuss the design and implementation of the associated template (see <a href="/wiki/Help:Using_talk_pages" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Using talk pages">Help:Using talk pages</a> for how to participate in talk page discussions). </p><p>A template is transcluded into another page by including a template tag in that page's content. A template tag contains the template <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_name" title="Wikipedia:Page name">page name</a> surrounded by double curly braces, e.g. <span class="nowrap"><code>{{Disambiguation}}</code></span>. If the template's page name does not begin with a namespace and colon, it is assumed to be in the Template namespace. </p><p>Internal links to template pages may be made by using the <code>Template:</code> prefix, e.g. <code>[[Template:Disambiguation]]</code>.

For example, to reference the Cleanup template, typing <code>{{tl|Cleanup}}</code> results in <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Cleanup" title="Template:Cleanup">Cleanup</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>.

All other characters are case sensitive, so <span class="nowrap"><code>{{cfd}}</code></span> and <span class="nowrap"><code>{{cfD}}</code></span> are not the same. Template names are easiest to remember if they follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization (also see the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Naming conventions">naming conventions</a> for articles). Avoid having templates whose names differ only in case, spacing, or punctuation. </p><p>For templates with long names, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Template_redirects" title="Wikipedia:Redirect">template redirects</a> (often called shortcuts) can be created for ease of typing.

This helps future editors to more easily read the wikicode.

Care should be taken when coding templates to ensure that there is no unnecessary whitespace. A single line break in an infobox may combine with a line break in an article to cause a paragraph break, or could cause an unwanted template in an inline template. As a general guideline, avoid two line breaks together in your template. These may "add up" with other line breaks in the article and be displayed as unwanted white space. For more information about line breaks as they affect wikitext, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Line-break_handling" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Line-break handling">Wikipedia:Line-break handling</a>. </p><p>To avoid unnecessary whitespace, ensure that any <code class="nowrap" style=""><noinclude></code> tags are placed immediately after the template code. The following code is from <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Questions" title="Template:Questions">questions</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> and has good line break management. </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">notice</span><span class="p">|</span><span class="nl">small</span><span class="o">=</span>yes<span class="p">|</span>If you want to ask a question, please see the <span class="p">[[</span><span class="nn">Wikipedia</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Questions</span><span class="p">]]</span> page for guidance.<span class="p">}}<</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p">[[</span><span class="nn">Category</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Wikipedia help templates</span><span class="p">]]</span> <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Substitution" data-mw-thread-id="h-Substitution-Suggested_practices"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Substitution-Suggested_practices"></span>Substitution<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Substitution-Suggested_practices"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main page: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Substitution" title="Wikipedia:Substitution">Wikipedia:Substitution</a></div> <p>Invoking a template using the form </p> <dl><dd><b><code>{{<span style="color:red;">subst:</span>name of template <i>(|parameters |...)</i>}}</code></b></dd></dl> <p>(that is, inserting <b><code>subst:</code></b> immediately after the opening pair of curly brackets) will make a copy of the template text and place it on the page, where it will be viewable in the source. The template is no longer <a href="/wiki/Transclusion" title="Transclusion">transcluded</a> and future changes to the template will not change the text. As a <a href="#Guideline">guideline</a>, this method should be used for any short, temporary messages which are removed quickly, such as on User_talk: pages. The standard new user <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Welcome" title="Template:Welcome">Welcome</a>}}</code> message is a good example. </p><p>Use subst: also if you need to edit the message after including it on the page.

There are two different ways to do this: </p><p>One option is to use the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Documentation" title="Template:Documentation">documentation</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template to add a minor description directly onto the template page. As mentioned in <a href="#Line_breaks">§ Line breaks</a>, the first <code class="nowrap" style=""><noinclude></code> tag should be placed on the same line as the last character of the actual template. For example: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="gs">'''This is a </span><span class="p">{{{</span><span class="nv">1</span><span class="p">}}}</span> article.<span class="gs">'''</span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">documentation</span><span class="p">|</span><span class="nl">content</span><span class="o">=</span> Place this template on any article that requires description. It takes one parameter, an adjective used to describe the article. For example, <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">article-describe</span><span class="p">|</span>bad<span class="p">}}</span> produces the text, <span class="gs">'''This is a bad article.'''</span> <span class="p">}}</span> <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div> <p>Another alternative is to create a formal <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DOC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DOC">/doc subpage</a> for the documentation (preferred for templates with multiple parameters, etc.). The <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Documentation" title="Template:Documentation">documentation</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template is still called, but all of the displayed text will be transcluded from the template's /doc subpage. </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="gs">'''This is a </span><span class="p">{{{</span><span class="nv">1</span><span class="p">}}}</span> article.<span class="gs">'''</span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> <span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">documentation</span><span class="p">}}</span> <span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">noinclude</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modules" data-mw-thread-id="h-Modules-Suggested_practices"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Modules-Suggested_practices"></span>Modules<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Modules-Suggested_practices"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main page: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua" title="Wikipedia:Lua">Wikipedia:Lua</a></div> <p>Lua modules are sometimes used instead of templates to store reusable material. Reasons for this include usage of module-specific features such as <a href="/wiki/Loop_(programming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Loop (programming)">loops</a> or stored values, and complex code is often easier to read and maintain in a module. If a module is easily implementable in a template it generally should be, since there are more users with experience editing templates. </p><p>If a module is intended to be used in articles or talk pages, a template wrapper should generally be created to simplify usage without directly requiring the <code>#invoke</code> parser function. Documentation is then mostly located on the template's /doc page, with the module's documentation pointing to the template and/or explaining further technical details that are unnecessary at the primary template documentation. </p><p>A template wrapper uses more of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PEIS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PEIS">post-expand include size limit</a> than calling the module directly, therefore it may be necessary to avoid using one in articles that are near the limit. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="History" data-mw-thread-id="h-History"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-History"></span>History<span data-mw-comment-end="h-History"></span></h2></div> <p>Historically, an "msg:" prefix had to be added in front of the template name when it was used on a page. For example, {{msg:stub}} was typed instead of {{stub}}. This is no longer necessary. </p><p>In Wikipedia's first 35 months, there was no template or transclusion mechanism at all. The page <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Boilerplate_text" title="Wikipedia:Boilerplate text">Wikipedia:Boilerplate text</a> was created in September 2002 to collect frequently used text in various Wikipedia processes. The <a href="/wiki/Help:MediaWiki_namespace" title="Help:MediaWiki namespace">MediaWiki namespace</a> was introduced with MediaWiki 1.2.6 on December 6, 2003, and was used not only for the user interface but also for creating boilerplate text messages to be inserted in articles using the {{msg: ...}} syntax. This function was replaced with the <a class="mw-selflink selflink">Template namespace</a> during the software upgrade to MediaWiki 1.3 on May 30, 2004. As a function of the "<a href="/wiki/User:Template_namespace_initialisation_script" title="User:Template namespace initialisation script">Template namespace initialisation script</a>", all non-system messages were moved to the new namespace. The initialisation script also replaced MediaWiki: references in articles with Template: to bypass the redirects created by the moves. </p><p>For a short time, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion">Wikipedia:Articles for deletion</a> (then known as <i>votes for deletion</i> or <i>VfD</i>) used MediaWiki: messages named in the format "MediaWiki:VfD-<i>articlename</i>". These were moved to the Template: space in June 2004 and were named "Template:VfD-<i>articlename</i>". This usage is deprecated now in favor of subpages. </p><p>Around 2005, growing complexity of template functions and the desire to consolidate similar templates led to the creation of extremely complex conditional hacks such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_using_meta-templates" title="Wikipedia:Avoid using meta-templates">nested templates</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:HiddenStructure" title="Wikipedia:HiddenStructure">CSS tricks</a>. These undesirable methods led to the development of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions" class="extiw" title="m:Extension:ParserFunctions">m:Extension:ParserFunctions</a>, added in 2006 with MediaWiki 1.7. By 2009, many problems with template readability and complexity still remained (<i><a class="external text" href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/06/30/on-templates-and-programming-languages/">On templates and programming languages</a></i>). In 2013, in order to address page load times, mostly due to slow template renders, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua" title="Wikipedia:Lua">Lua</a> was enabled, creating a Module: namespace for programmers to make use of (<i><a class="external text" href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/11/lua-templates-faster-more-flexible-pages/">New Lua templates bring faster, more flexible pages to your wiki</a></i>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Searching_for_templates" data-mw-thread-id="h-Searching_for_templates"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Searching_for_templates"></span>Searching for templates<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Searching_for_templates"></span></h2></div> <p>Use this form to search in the Template: or Template_talk: namespaces.
