The Vault:Templates

This page provides a list of the most commonly used templates at this wiki. Simply place the text listed under "How to insert" in the appropriate place.

General
These templates should be inserted at the top of every article.

Page management
Page management templates are used if you notice that something is out of order with a certain page or section and want to bring it to the attention of other editors or administrators. They display a box describing the issue and add the page to the appropriate maintenance category.

These templates should generally be placed at the very top of a page unless you only want to mark a section for "treatment"; then they should be at the top of that section. The exceptions to this rule are:
 * stub, which should be at the bottom of a page.
 * section, which should be inserted in the place of the missing section.
 * verify, which should be placed directly behind the fact needing verification.

All of these templates can be used with two unnamed parameters:
 * The first unnamed parameter can be used for specifying the game(s) an editor needs to own/be knowledgeable about in order to resolve the issue (see abb for valid inputs).
 * The second unnamed parameter can be used for describing the issue in more detail.

Navigation and categories
Example:

These templates are used to improve the navigation and structure of The Vault.

Navboxes
Navboxes are used to ease navigation between a certain group of articles. They should be inserted in all articles of that group at the very bottom of an article, just above the categories. Exception to this rule are sidebars, these should inserted close to the top of an article.

New navboxes can be constructed with Navbox. For a list of existing navboxes, please see Category:Navbox templates.

Source templates
These templates are to be inserted into articles (or sections) where it is important to make the reader aware of the presented information's source. Usually this means that the info comes from cut content, its canonicity is disputed or that it is a spoiler (note however that only information relating to upcoming games or add-ons should be spoiler-tagged).

Source templates are generally added to the top of an article, just below the infobox (if there is any).

Infobox templates
Infobox templates have the function to present basic facts about the article in a consistent way. They are to be placed at the top of an article.

Infobox templates are usually called using parameters, i.e. each infobox has different parameters which need to be defined when calling it. Find the template you need from the list below and refer to the template's page to see what parameters are required. If there are multiple templates of a certain type, use the most specific one.
