There are many templates in use in Norsk Runescape Wiki and these are only subset, representing the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.
- Category:Templates should list all templates in the wiki, categorized into the various subcategories.
- The Template namespace always has all templates in the wiki, unsorted.
What are templates?[]
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.
Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (i.e. Mal:T). 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 either on the template page, or the template's talk page.
Article management templates[]
Nominate an article for deletion[]
Mal:T
- Add this to an article to nominate it for deletion. It will add the article to Category:Candidates for deletion.
Disambiguation articles[]
Mal:T
- If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterwards. For example:
- The Prince <-- disambiguation page, with links to:
- The Prince (frog)
- The Prince (human)
- For more information, see disambiguation on Wikipedia.
- Using Mal:T marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner to the article and categorizing it under Category:Disambiguations. Add links to the various articles under the banner.
Stubbing[]
Mal:T
- When a page has little or no useful information, then it is likely a stub. This template will include them in Category:Article stubs, and is used to list which articles need expanding.
