DramaWiki:List of Templates

Templates are used within articles to provide a consistent look to often used and thus repeating messages. Changes to the look, wording, or style of the message can be implemented quickly, because templates are rendered for the reader when the article loads. This page lists some useful templates available in WikiDrama and explains how to use them.

## Template messages

**Template messages** are used on pages for information purposes only. They are often displayed in boxes.

## Maintenance templates

Besides informational purposes **maintenance templates** are used for better administration of pages. These templates usually put the pages into a special category to make them easier to find.
