'''Templates''' are a great way to add formatting and to insert important information quickly. 

== Usage of templates ==
Technically, templates are pages you insert into other pages (this is called '''transclusion'''). If you wish to get technical and understand the entire system behind templates, you may want to refer to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_quick_guide_to_templates Wikipedia's guide to templates].

A quick rundown of how templates are used:
<pre>{{Name of template|Parameter 1|Parameter 2|etc..}}</pre>
'''Name of template''': This is the name of the template you use. Example: ''Character''

'''Parameter''': This is a piece of information you forward to the template. For instance, if you want to use [[Template:Character]] to display {{Character|Chun|long}}, your Parameter 1 would be 'Chun' and Parameter 2 would be 'long'. Parameters depend entirely on the specific template you're using, and it can have varying amounts (or even '''none at all'''!).

== List of useful templates ==
This is a list of '''useful templates''' which are free for usage in articles you create or edit, as opposed to behind-the-scenes development ones. They will prove very useful in editing the wiki, so you should get to know and understand them! You can visit each Template page to find more detailed information about how and when they are used. This is meant to be a quick overview.

{{Note|If you find a template which is used for a certain type of information (Example: <nowiki>{{AP}}</nowiki> for display of {{AP}} '''[[Player Resources#Action Points|Action Point]]''' costs), please make sure to '''always use that template in your edits''', so that information is presented in an easily readable, uniform way across the wiki!}}

{{Note|There will be more templates added as more features are added to the wiki. Feel free to put this article on your watchlist to be informed of any new useful templates becoming available! -[[User:Ividyon|Ividyon]] ([[User talk:Ividyon|talk]])}}
