<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Stub<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> is used for incomplete or pages with a lot of incorrect information. This is placed on top of the page above all other templates.

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Spoilers<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> is used for pages that have content that may spoil major plot points in their related campaign. This may be used for deaths, identity reveals, and much more if applicable. You may also be liberal with usage of this template. This also does not need to be listed at the top of the page and can be moved downwards. Doing this, however, may make it look ugly, so you might as well put it at the top.
