Frequently asked questions about Wikipedia's templates.
What are templates?
Templates are pages that allow editors to implement materials, repeated across many pages, with the same template. Templates are represented in
wikitext by open and closed double curly brackets ({{ and }}). They usually take parameters in the form of |parameter=, which can change the display, the text, and so on of a template.
What is that template with "stub" at the bottom of an article?
These are stub templates. They are used to place stubs into specific categories.
Stubs are very short articles that could do with some expanding.
