	The [[Template:Wip\|Wip template]] is used to indicate that a page is very raw and in need of work and cannot stand alone as an article, i.e. it's a '''W'''ork '''i'''n '''p'''rogress. If an article stands alone, even in an incomplete state, it should receive the [[#Stub\|Stub template]] instead of this one. It'll place text on the page indicating ~~it's~~ status, and add the article to the [[:Category:Work in Progress\|Work in Progress]] category, making it easy to find articles that need to be worked on.

	The [[Template:Stub\|Stub template]] is used to indicate that the article is incomplete and needs more work, though there is enough information and formatting to allow it to stand alone. The Stub template places text indicating ~~it's~~ status, and a link to allow editing of the page, as well as placing the article in the [[:Category:Stubs\|Stub category]].

	~~== About Templates ==~~
	Templates are a way of standardizing content across the wiki. They allow information that is duplicated in several pages to be located and edited in one place. For example, the mission '''Talk to David Wincott''' can come from just about any contact, and rather than type that information over and over, it has been created in one place, [[Template:Mission Hollows]], and can then be inserted into any contact with the text, '''<nowiki>{{Mission Hollows}}</nowiki>'''.

	Templates can also accept parameters, details which change from use to use. An example of this is the [[Template:Power\|Power Template]]. This simple template takes four parameters, and formats the information into the power entry which is used on most of the [[:category:Enemies\|enemy]] pages. Since the format is kept in one place, if, in the future, and new format is decided upon, rather than go through all the enemy pages and redoing their powers, one change to the [[Template:Power\|power template]] will make those changes in the entire wiki.		== Overview ==

	~~== Useful~~ Templates ==		The following templates can be useful in making articles in the wiki but are in no way required and subject to change at any time.
