'''Templates''' are used to duplicate the same content across more than one page, reducing maintenance and work needed on creating and updating pages. Changing a template in one place will immediately apply the changes to all the pages that use it.

This page lists templates of this wiki. For more information on templates, check out [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_namespace Wikipedia's template page] or [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template Wikimedia's template page]. If you are interested in:

A list of all RTGame Wiki templates is available at <span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=10 All pages (Template namespace)]</span>. For a list of templates, see [[Special:Allpages/Template:|this page]]. Unused templates can be found at [[Special:Unusedtemplates]].

To insert a template into a page, type <code><nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki></code> (this is known as a ''tag'') somewhere on the page, whether it be at the top or at the bottom or in a certain section. Every page with that tag in it will display the template text. TemplateName is the name after the colon symbol, e.g. the TemplateName for [[Template:In use]] is In use, so typing <code><nowiki>{{In use}}</nowiki></code> will add that tag to a page.

Below are a summary of most templates on the wiki. Please refer to the relevant documentation page for more details. Note that some templates are listed by their shorthand, and depreciated and fallback templates are not included in the list below.
