Help/Making Templates

If you've read the article regarding Wiki code, you know how to add templates to a page. You might ask, however; how do I use them?

Basics
All templates are made in Source mode. If you haven't read the article on Wiki coding, read it before attempting to make any template. Otherwise:
 * Go to "Add a page".
 * Click "Blank page".
 * Under the name of the page, type "Template:XXX" (replacing XXX with the name of your new template). This step is important! If you don't use a template prefix, you will not end up with a template.
 * After clicking on "create" you should see a blank page. Start coding from here.

Two kinds of templates
On the wiki, most templates fall into one of two categories; infobox or navbox.
