Editor's information/Template Guide

Implementation

These cover the basic implementation of templates, in both the Visual and older Source editor. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below.

Visual Editor

	Step 1: Go to the "insert" drop-down tab. Step 2: Select either Infobox or Template, depending on what you need.
	Step 3: Select the template you want to use. It should now be on the page.

Source Editor

	Step 1: Copy the "Usage" section in the middle row.
	Step 2: Paste it in your page, and fill it out as reasonable. Conditions not filled out will usually not display.

Infoboxes

A list of actively-used infoboxes. Since they typically have large documentation sections, links to their documentation pages are included instead.

Template Name	Usage	Info
{{Leak Patch infobox}}	See: Template:Leak_Patch_infobox	An infobox for patches for the Leak.
{{MapInfoBox}}	See Template:MapInfoBox	An infobox for articles documenting map files, typically .vmf.
