Wikimedia:Template messages

This page is outdated, but if it was updated, it might still be useful.

Templates are used within articles to provide a consistent look to the messages placed into them. Changes to the look, wording, or style of the message can be implemented quickly, because templates are rendered for the reader when the article loads.

Note: "msg:" can now be dispensed with when placing a template in an article. For example, use {{stub}}, not {{msg:stub}}. Spaces in the name are allowed, e.g., {{train topics}}.

Instructions

When you add new template messages to this page, please help keep the tables in alphabetical order.
