To make a template, go to the URL and after the ".xyz/", type Template:[Template Name]. This will bring you to an entirely new page that you can then create a template on.

There may be other template types made to ensure most articles with similar information can be updated at the same time. If you have an idea for a template but don't know how to make one, you can ask CStatic to make one. | There may be other template types made to ensure most articles with similar information can be updated at the same time.

Categories are a tagging system that allow pages to be organized by certain parameters. Please put tags in the plural, as that avoids confusion with templates. For example, [[Template:Stub|Stub]] denotes the name of a template, while [[:Category:Stubs|Stubs]] refer to the category. It doesn't matter what order tags are added, as they're usually sorted alphabetically due to one of this site's extensions. | Categories are a tagging system that allow pages to be organized by certain parameters.

When adding categories, you may use the "advanced options" tool or simply place something like [[:Category:Category]] at the bottom of the page. It doesn't matter what order tags are added, as they're usually sorted alphabetically due to one of this site's extensions. | |||
