Wiki Templates

List of wiki templates that are used in formatting areas/items that recur frequently across different pages. Some templates are simple and do not require any parameters while others do. A more complete description is given below.

List of Templates

Table of Contents

• {{LeftToC}} - Table of contents appears on left side with text wrapping along the right.
• {{RightToC}} - Table of contents appears on right side with text wrapping along the left.

Parameters

A parameter, or argument, is information that the template needs to complete its job. If a parameter is required, you must include it, if it is option you can omit it if it doesn't apply. For example if someone gives you a to do list, the purpose of the list is clear, you are supposed to do the items on the list. But for any given list, the items will differ. A template that requires parameters is the same idea. Separate the parameters with single pipes. Since a to do list can be very long, the template might include 30 option parameters, meaning you could have a list from zero to thirty items long. Here's an example of formatting a to do list with three items using the ToDoList template:

{{ToDoList|Buy milk.|Return videos.|Wash car.}}

How the list is formatted will depend on exactly how the actual template was setup, but here is one way it could be set up:

To Do List

---

1. Buy milk.
2. Return videos.
3. Wash car.
