What are templates?

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. ). 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:
 * 1) a subpage using documentation; or
 * 2) the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
 * 3) the template's talk page.
