Message templates inform users regarding information contained on a page. These are the templates like {{t\|Stub}} or {{t\|Spoilers}}.

	There are no special rules in regard to naming these upon creation, just that they're kept short, and singular. This is to prevent confusion over categories, which are usually written in plural.
