Templates are a native feature of mediawiki (the framework this fan wiki uses), and greatly reduce workload by having something intended for repeated use across different articles to be called with a template invocation. They can also have specific parameters that allow for specific changes to a called template for the given invocation instance. They can be difficult to understand, however. Refer to the examples on existing pages to see how they can be used.

Separate template arguments with pipes: {{!}}. Example: <code><nowiki>{{Transient icon|Surtr|rarity=3}}</nowiki></code>. Some popular templates are listed below: | ||
