BoT Base Templates

## Instructions

When creating a new page:

1. Copy the appropriate code block below
2. Open your new page
3. Switch from Visual Editor to Source Editor
4. Paste the code
5. Input your information
6. Remove placeholder text and tips
7. Don't forget to save
8. Click 'Categories' below the page, then apply relevant category tags

**Source Editor** is recommended for entering large amounts of information,

**Visual Editor** is recommended for adding/updating a table or fixing something brief (eg: a typo) in an existing article.

The Infobox (sidebar) info **MUST**  be edited in the Source Editor, but the rest of the article can be edited with either one. If you have any questions about using this, please contact this wiki's admin or another familiar contributor.

**NOTE:** I've left a lot of placeholder text with tips on what info to add. Please remove all placeholder text before saving your article so viewers of the wiki don't see it. You can always use this page as a reference for what was there.
