Article tags
[edit]See WP:Template messages/Cleanup, especially Section 6.13.2 (inline verifiability tags).
Template link
[edit]{{tl}} will produce a template link, like that one, whereas {{tlx}} will do the same in monospaced font. {{tlx}} will also show further piped arguments, as used below.
Collapse
[edit]Collapse a lot of material, e.g. a proof, or a proposed new section on a talk page. Use {{collapse top}} then {{collapse bottom}}

Redirect
[edit]Not technically a template, but still useful to know:
#REDIRECT [[Page name#Section title]]
Anchor
[edit]
Use {{anchor|valueatzero}}, then later link to [[article name#valueatzero|display label]].
Diff and OldId
[edit]Use {{diff|Main Page|204901573|202506579|a link like this}} to produce a link like this, and {{oldid|Main Page|589841|this link}} to produce this link.
Signing unsigned talk posts
[edit]The template {{Unsigned}} can be used for unsigned posts. It's best to subst it, as in {{Subst:Unsigned|Quietbritishjim|11:15, 1 June 2005 (UTC)}} to give — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quietbritishjim (talk • contribs) 11:15, 1 June 2005 (UTC)
Talkback
[edit]Use the {{Talkback}} template. Add a new section to their page and use the below (including the five tildes literally).
{{Talkback|Quietbritishjim|[Section title]|ts = ~~~~~}}
Math
[edit]If using Wiki markup (rather than LaTeX in a <math> tag), use the {{math}} template to format it in a serif font and stop it from wrapping. E.g. {{math|1=''f''(''x'')=''e''<sup>''x''</sup>}} comes out as f(x)=ex, as opposed to f(x)=ex. The 1= is needed to avoid the equals sign in the formula being interpreted as part of the template syntax.
