Meta:Template Use

This page will explain different types of templates and when/how to use them.
Template List
==Types of Templates==
Here are some common types of templates used on Solarpedia. For other templates see template help, Template Wiki or template type help.
===Navbox===
The navbox is essential to organizing info on a wiki. These templates help put links into one place that can be accessed at the bottom of a(n) article/page.
===Header (Top hat)===
A header (also known as a top hat) is a template that shows the state of a(n) article/page. These include stub templates, and quality templates. 
===Context-Link===
A context-link is a redirect, it is usually in the form of a disambiguation. These help avoid confusion among pages such as "Son" or "Sun".
==How to Use a Template Correctly==
Different templates have different uses (as stated above). Using a template correctly can help prevent any unnecessary confusion.
#Figure out what type of template it is.
##If it is a navbox, place it at the bottom of the page.
##If it is a header, put it at the top.
##If it is a context-link, place it where necessary.
#Does the page in question need this template?
##If it is very short, add a stub template.
##If it is part of a series on a subject with many pages, add a navbox.
##etc.
