==Templates==
Because a lot of wikipedia formatting becomes redundant, templates are heavily relied upon allow you to add include the same information basic format without having to copy enter in the same code over and pasteover. That way, if the template changes, all of the pages that call the template will update accordingly.<br><br>
''Take for example, a simple notice that the page is not currently complete:''<br>
<div style="
</div>
The code desired is need on many pages. It is therfore added to be recreated was made into a new page on the wiki named <code>Template:Stub</code>. Then, once saved, the template can be called upon using double curly brackets around the name of the template, i.e. <strong><nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki></strong> . As long as the code is created in a document labeled 'Template:XXXXX', it can then be called upon againby '''<nowiki>{{XXXXX}}</nowiki>'''. <br>
