Templates are standard bits of text, links, or formatting that can be applied to a page.

Templates are applied to a page by adding the text '''<nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki>''' to the desired page. Whatever text is on the template page at <nowiki>Template:TemplateName</nowiki> will then be ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion transcluded]'' onto the page -- included by reference. This permits inclusion of the same standard text on multiple pages, and simple editing of that text in one place without inconsistent versions everywhere. Disadvantages include an increase in server processing load and consistent replication of fucked-up versions.

To edit a template, go to the template page itself, e.g., <nowiki>http://wiki.feministsf.net/index.php?title=Template:TemplateName</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Template:TemplateName]]</nowiki> and edit just like any other wiki page.

However, you should probably ''not'' edit unless you're familiar with template syntax.

Useful syntax includes:
; The "noinclude" tag.
: The "noinclude" tag basically takes whatever text is included on that template page and uses it ''only'' on the template page, and does ''not'' transclude it to other pages. Use it for things like including "usage" instructions on the template page. Another use would be to add categories that help organize the template itself, such as [[:Category:Navigational templates]]; those categories should not be transcluded onto the content page. Example of usage on a template page:
:: <nowiki><noinclude>Apply this template by typing {{PrevNext}}. [[Category:Navigational templates]]</noinclude></nowiki>
; The "includeonly" tag.
: The "includeonly" tag is the opposite of the "noinclude" tag. It takes whatever is included within the "includeonly" tags and only applies them to the transcluded text. It is particularly useful for applying a standard set of categories to the ''content'' page that shouldn't be on the ''template'' page. For instance, you might apply the <nowiki>{{feminisms}}</nowiki> template to a page, which asks for more varieties of feminist perspectives to be added to the page, and adds the [[:Category:More feminisms please]] to the page. That category is useful for people looking through the [[:Category:FSFwiki maintenance categories]] for work to do, but it doesn't belong on the template page itself. Example of usage on a template page:
:: <nowiki><includeonly>Please add other feminist perspectives to this page. [[Category:More feminisms please]]</includeonly></nowiki>
