In the below tutorials, we'll explain how our various templates work and what values you can input in order to create a page when using a template!

But first, a word about templates!

Basically, a template is a bunch of fields and values. Like a row in a database. All you have to do is fill in the blanks, and the template definition (a mess of fairly complex code, defined elsewhere) does all the formatting, categorization, and generally does all the work for you.

This makes basic page editing very simple. It also lets us make changes to the template definition that show up in all the pages that use it. The templates also include the magic that makes changes to say, Gridanian Shortbow show up on the lists of Archer weapons automatically.
