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

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.
