Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.

ROM Hack City has many templates; this page only introduces the most important and common templates. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

• Category:Templates should cover all templates in the wiki, categorized into the various subcategories.
• The Template namespace (found from Special:Allpages) always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are templates? Edit

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. {{templatecategory}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on a subpage using {{documentation}}. Alternatively, the instructions are on the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or on the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

Where you may find more templates Edit

• Wikia Templates gave some templates to ROM Hack City, and have many more templates.
• Wikipedia; may be copied with the proper acknowledgment, but some need tweaking to work properly on Wikia, so use a Wikia one if possible.
