Help:Templates

Templates are reusable pieces of wiki code that help standardize and format pages across iBasepedia.

They are written once and can be used on many pages.

What is a template?

A template is a special page that starts with "Template:". For example:

• Template:Infobox film
• Template:Reflist
• Template:Cite web

When you use a template on a page, you include it using double curly braces:

{{Infobox film}}
