A ''template'' is a special type of page designed to be included within other pages. Templates are used extensively on BG3Wiki. | |||
The [[Help:Using templates|next step]] of this manual will cover specific uses of templates. | |||

Templates can be searched for and added via the toolbar above the visual editor by clicking ''Insert'', and in the dropdown box, selecting ''Templates''. Most templates can be easily inserted onto a page this way. To later edit its contents, simply click on the inserted template in the visual editor for options. | |||
=== Adding templates using the source editor === | |||
Templates are added by using double brackets ({{code|<nowiki>{{ ... }}</nowiki>}}. For example, the template {{code|foo}} is added by typing ({{code|<nowiki>foo</nowiki>}}. | |||
A template's parameters are specified through the use of pipes {{code|(<nowiki>|</nowiki>)}}. | |||
* Template with one parameter: | |||
** Code: {{code|<nowiki>{{enchantment|+1}}</nowiki>}} | |||
** Result: {{enchantment|+1}} | |||
* Template with multiple parameters: | |||
** Code: {{code|<nowiki>{{AttributeBlock|8|15|7|6|10|8|hp=12|dex save = yes|race=Bird|hp=10}}</nowiki>}} | |||
** Result: | |||
{{AttributeBlock|8|15|7|6|10|8|hp=12|dex save = yes|race=Bird|hp=10}} | |||
