This wiki has a lot of templates. Some of them are easier to use than others, and some of them have some very specific purposes. Below, some of the key templates are listed, along with their intended use. Appearances are not provided for templates whose transclusion would end up tagging this page in an undesirable way.
Spoiler-related templates can be used to blank out parts of your page, to tantalize your readers with hidden information, or simply to warn about spoilers.
Template | Appearance (if available) | Usage |
---|---|---|
Template:Redacted | The information in this section is currently a sensitive secret, knowledge of which could alter the behavior of players. It has been redacted and will be added as it is revealed during play. | Redact a large block of text. |
Template:Redacted-short | Redacted | Redact a short block of text, perhaps a few words at most. |
Template:Spoiler |
Spoiler notice: The following contains spoiler information. Proceed at your own risk.
|
Marks the beginning of a section of spoilers. |
Template:End-spoiler |
Spoilers end here.
|
Marks the end of a section of spoilers. |
Citation templates
Citation templates should be used on all lore pages, which are required to cite sources.
Template | Appearance (if available) | Usage |
---|---|---|
Template:Reference-list | not available | Displays a reference list. This should be used at the bottom of a page. |
Template:Cite-FFXIV-site | not available | Marks the previous block of text as having come from the FFXIV official web site. This also adds it to the citation list generated by Template:Reference-list. |
Template:Cite-FFXIV | not available | Marks the previous block of text as having come from FFXIV itself. This also adds it to the citation list generated by Template:Reference-list. |
Stub templates
Stub templates can be used to indicate that a particular item is, in fact, a stub.
Template | Appearance (if available) | Usage |
---|---|---|
Template:Character-stub | not available | Marks a character page as a stub, and places it in Category:Character Stub. |
Help templates
Help templates can be used to request help or indicate that page requires attention.
Template | Appearance (if available) | Usage |
