Wikipedia:Template index

Part of the Style and How-to Series

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}}.

Related pages for specific types of templates:

• Wikipedia:Navigational templates are designed to provide links to several related articles.
• Wikipedia:Infobox templates are designed to present summary information about an article's subject, such that similar subjects have a uniform look and in a common format.
• Wikipedia:MediaWiki interface messages are reserved for internal system use, and can only be modified by administrators.

Redirect pages

One or several to be placed at the bottom of a redirect page. This doesn't prevent the redirect from working.

What to type	What it makes
{{R for alternate capitalisation}} Talk	From other capitalisation: This is a redirect from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to the title in accordance with the Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalisation of this redirect title. This may help writing, searching and international language issues. If this redirect is an incorrect capitalisation, then {{R from miscapitalisation}} should be used instead, and pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target. Miscapitalisations can be tagged in any namespace. Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when other capitalisations are in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
{{R for as of}} Talk	Template:R for as of
{{R from abbreviation}} Talk	From an abbreviation: This is a redirect from an abbreviation to a related topic, such as the expansion of the abbreviation. Use this template for any length reduction other than the following. Instead of this template: use {{R from acronym}} for abbreviations that are pronounced as words, such as NATO and RADAR; use {{R from initialism}} for those abbreviations that are pronounced as letters, such as CIA and HIV; use {{R from short name}} for the initials of a person's name or for any other length reduction that is not typically classed as an abbreviation.
{{R from alternate language}} Talk	From an alternative language: This is a redirect from a page name in an as yet undetermined or uncoded language to a page name in an as yet undetermined or uncoded language. These words may directly translate or they may be related words, names or phrases. This redirect leads to its target in accordance with the naming conventions for titles in other languages and can help writing and searches.
{{R from alternate spelling}} Talk	From an alternative spelling: This is a redirect from a title with an alternative spelling of the target name. Pages that link to this redirect may be updated to link directly to the target page if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. Also, these links should not be replaced with piped links. There are many more specific templates such as {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}} and {{R from alternative spacing}}. Also see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.)
{{R from alternate language and/or alternate spelling}} Talk	Template:R from alternate language and/or alternate spelling
{{R from CamelCase}} Talk	From a camel case title: This is a redirect from a camel case page name. In the initial versions of Wikipedia, all links had to be "CamelCase", i.e., words that used medial capitals; they are "two-humped" like a Bactrian camel. These are kept as redirects to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that may have been made externally.
{{R from misspelling}} Talk	From a misspelling: This is a redirect from a misspelling or typographical error. The correct form is given by the target of the redirect. This redirect is made available to aid searches. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details. This template tags redirects with a subcategory of the Redirects from incorrect names category, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template.
{{R from plural}} Talk	From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form. This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see WP:NOTBROKEN). Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
{{R from related word}} Talk	From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link. Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.
{{R from scientific name}} Talk	From scientific name of an organism: This is a redirect from a scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms) to a vernacular ("common") name.
{{R to disambiguation page}} Talk	To a disambiguation page: This is a redirect to a disambiguation page. This redirect is intended for use in links from other articles that need to refer to the disambiguation page, rather than be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should only appear on a redirect page that has "(disambiguation)" at the end of its title. Ambiguous titles that do not have page names ending with "(disambiguation)" should use {{R from ambiguous term}} instead. For disambiguations that later prove to still be ambiguous (e.g. "(painter)" when there are multiple notable painters by the same name) and which redirect to disambiguation pages, then {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} is the appropriate rcat template.
{{R to sort name}} Talk	Template:R to sort name
{{R with possibilities}} Talk	With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page. When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate. If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate. Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}. {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace. When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

{{pic of the day}} Use {{pic of the day}} Talk	Picture of the day Batalha Monastery is a Dominican convent in the municipality of Batalha in Portugal. Originally and officially known as the Monastery of Saint Mary of the Victory, it was erected in commemoration of the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota and would serve as the burial church of the 15th-century Aviz dynasty of Portuguese royalty. It is one of the best and original examples of Late Flamboyant Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style. The monastery is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

{{subst:spam2}} Talk	Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.	User talk end
{{subst:spam3}} Talk	Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

{{PhilosophyTasks}} Talk	WikiProject Philosophy task list A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects. Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word. Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist. Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'Marxist theory'- although it's an important component of Marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the article's weight on Marx is also absurd. German idealism and the articles related to it may need to be rewritten or expanded to avoid undue weight on Arthur Schopenhauer. Protected values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation. Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change. Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version. Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent. Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention. Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered. Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology. Perception Needs the attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only the start of an overhaul of perception and related articles.
