There are many, many templates in use in WoWWiki and these are only subset, hopefully representing the most commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency. See Help:Template for further information on using and creating templates.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (i.e. {{Horde Icon}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Article management tags[]

See also: Category:Article management tags

Accuracy[]

  • {{accuracy}} displays a banner requesting a fact check

Mall:Accuracy

Better name / Conjecture[]

  • {{bettername}} displays a banner flagging the article as probably needing a new name

Citations needed[]

  • {{Source needed}} displays a well-visible banner and places the article in Category:Articles needing citations
  • {{fact}} inserts a small link in the text and places the article in Category:Articles needing citations

Cleanup[]

{{Cleanup|<reasons>}}

Add to articles or sections that require editing attention. This will include them in Category:Articles to clean up.

Please try and add reasons - this will help editors to change what is wrong or add what is not there without having to ask the user who tagged the page.

Construction[]

Deletion templates[]

{{Delete}}, {{Speedydelete}}, {{Terminate}} etc are used as part of the article deletion process. See Delete, Terminate.

Mall:Sd

Disputed[]

GM Item[]

  • {{GM-item}} displays a banner noting this item is most likely for GMs only

Merge[]

{{Merge|<target article>}}

Add to articles that should be merged into one article. This will include them in Category:Merge candidates. Further elaboration on the articles' discussion pages would be helpful, such as suggesting which name both articles should be listed under.

Move[]

{{Move|<target article>}}

Add to articles that should be moved to another name (Category:Move candidates), in accordance with the Naming Policy. While many moves can be made immediately, if moving will be an involved process (as with a category) or there is debate as to what the article should be called, it is best to receive some feedback first.

Outdated[]

Removed[]

Split[]

{{Split}}

Add to articles that should have sections split off into separate articles. This will include them in Category:Split candidates. Be sure to clarify on the article's discussion page which sections you think should be moved to a new article, and why.

Stubs[]

When a page has little or no useful information, then it is a stub. See the WoWWiki:Stub page for more info on how to deal with stubs.

Mall:Stub/Ability

  • Current stub templates

Talk pages[]

{{Talkheader|analysis=on}} (from {{Talkheader}})

This template can be added to an article's talk page where discussion about the issue in general is overwhelming editorial concerns regarding the article in particular. See WoWWiki:Talk page guidelines for more info.

Wikify[]

  • {{Wikify}}

Mall:Wikify

General wiki templates[]

See also: Category:General wiki templates

Icons[]

Note that all these icons appear to the left of the text left edge. Use them only in indented sections (e.g. after a ":").

"I" icon{{icon-information}}
Rött utropstecken ikon{{icon-exclamation}}
Mall:Icon-lightbulb{{icon-lightbulb}}
shortcut icon{{icon-shortcut}}

Category helpers[]

  • Use {{Server_US|<realm type>|<timezone>|<server>}} to easily categorize US servers. (timezone = Eastern, Central, Pacific, etc....) (server = article name minus Server:, helps alphabetize categories)
  • Use {{Server_EU|<realm type>|<language>|<server>}} to easily categorize EU servers. (language = English, French, German, etc....) (server = article name minus Server:, helps alphabetize categories)
  • Use {{Guild|<name>|<realm>|<loc>|<type>}} to easily categorize guilds.
  • Use {{correct2category|<article type>|<good-category>}} at the top of category pages that shouldn't be used to tell people what category they should be using.
  • Use {{bigcat}} at the bottom of very large (nearly or over 200 articles) categories:

Mall:Example/BeginMall:BigcatMall:Example/End

  • Note that {{catredirect|destination category}} is no longer required as of the MediaWiki 1.7 upgrade. You can now use regular #redirect [[:Category:destination category]] redirects. Old/deprecated categories should never be redirected per the category policy.

Clear below break before starting[]

  • You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
  • You can also use {{clrl}} or {{clrr}} to clear only left or right floats (example: Item pages)

Line spacing[]

  • {{spc}} adds a moderate space between two paragraphs, or between items in a bullet list. The spacing is about 75% of a regular line height.

Columns[]

To easily put content in columns, use {{col-begin}}, {{col-2}}/{{col-3}}/{{col-4}}/{{col-5}}/{{col-6}}/{{col-7}}, and {{col-end}}.

For example
{{col-begin}}
{{col-3}}
First column
{{col-3}}
Second
{{col-3}}
Third
{{col-end}}
Yields

First column

Second

Third

Disambiguation[]

  • Use {{disambig}}, if a page has a chance of being confused with a page of a similar name but different content, a disambiguation page may be in order. See that page for more info on creating one and linking to it.
  • However, sometimes a disabiguation page is not appropriate, but a short note at the top may still be necessary. {{for}} can be useful for this situation.
{{for|the original 40-man raid introduced in [[Patch 1.11]]|Naxxramas (original)}}
För the original 40-man raid introduced in Patch 1.11, se Naxxramas (original).

Tables of Contents[]

Though discouraged (see WoWWiki:Manual of Style), you can float the table of contents of a page to the right with {{tocright}}

Tabs[]

If you want to make a nice looking tab to clearly indicate what to click, like Mall:Discussiontab, you can use the following:

  • {{articletab}} – Mall:Articletab
  • {{categorytab}} – Mall:Categorytab
  • {{discussiontab}} – Mall:Discussiontab
  • {{edittab}} – Mall:Edittab
    • {{editplustab}} – Mall:Editplustab for adding sections in talk pages
    • {{plustab}} – Mall:Plustab for adding sections in talk pages
  • {{helptab}} – Mall:Helptab
  • {{historytab}} – Mall:Historytab
  • {{movetab}} – Mall:Movetab
  • {{projectpagetab}} – Mall:Projectpagetab
  • {{watchtab}} – Mall:Watchtab
  • {{specialpagetab}} – Mall:Specialpagetab
  • {{templatetab}} – tab}}
  • {{unwatchtab}} – Mall:Unwatchtab
  • {{userpagetab}} – Mall:Userpagetab
  • {{viewsourcetab}} – Mall:Viewsourcetab

Template links[]

Make example template code for templates with a link to them:

  • Simple template (i.e. {{t|<template>}})

See also[]

Add references to other articles using {{seealso}}. For example, to add two references to a page, use {{seealso|Formulas: Health Regen|Formulas:Mana Regen}}:

See also: Formulas:Health RegenFormulas:Mana Regen

For consistency, it's recommended that you add a section at the bottom titled "See also"

Example, Example/Begin, Example/End[]

{{Example|<small text>}} can be used for very small examples, but often you will want to pull in substantial pieces of other pages or templates, in which case you can use {{Example/Begin}} LOTS of text, probably multiline {{Example/End}}: Mall:Example/Begin LOTS of text, probably multiline Mall:Example/End

Page actions[]

  • {{edit|<pagename>}} can be used to create a link for editing a page, e.g. {{edit|WoWWiki:Templates}} creates [redigera].

Smileys[]

World of Warcraft templates[]

Money[]

Multiple ways to do money exist, but only a few are practical, and here they are:

  • 123g 45s 67c {{cost|<123>|<45>|<67>}}
  • 123g 67c {{cost|<123>|<>|<67>}}
  • 25g 50s {{cost|<g=25>|<s=50>}}
  • 35s 10c {{cost|<s=35>|<c=10>}}
  • 10g 48s 32c {{cost|<g=10>|<s=48>|<c=32>}}

Currency[]

Similar to money, there are now many other types of currencies in WoW, where you exchange items as a currency for another item. For example:

  • 1 Alterac valley mark of honor {{costitem|<1>|<Alterac Valley Mark of Honor>}}
  • 100 [[Image:Dalaran Cooking Award.png|16px|link=Dalaran Cooking Award]] {{costitem|<100>|<Dalaran Cooking Award>}}
  • 1 [[Image:Breastplate of the Wayward Conqueror.png|16px|link=Breastplate of the Wayward Conqueror]] {{costitem|<1>|<Breastplate of the Wayward Conqueror>}}

Quests[]

There are two ways to link to quest articles. There is the normal way, because sometimes you just need to mention the quest, which makes use of the template {{quest}}, that automatically drops the "Quest:" from the name (used for cleaner code):

{{quest|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You}} as opposed to [[Quest:Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You]]

The second way is more detailed, and is usually used in bulleted lists.

{{questlong|<faction>|<questlevel>|<questname>|<displayname>}}
Usage: {{questlong|Neutral|54|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You}}
Displays: Neutral [54] Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You

Footers[]

See also: Category:Navigation templates

These templates take one parameter "class" which should be replaced by the class name; "Mage", "Warrior" etc. This is used to create links back to class-specific pages.

  • {{Classfooter|<class>}}

Mall:Example/BeginMall:ClassfooterMall:Example/End

WoW icons[]

  • {{Race|<race>|<options or alternate text>}} is a shortcut for the ten playable races in the form of

    Wikicode example: {{t|text|blizz|All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.}}
    Wikicode example: <span class="blizztext">All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.</span>
    i.e. All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.
  • For those using Monaco skin, use class="blizzlink" for coloring official Blizzard links (in posts, announcements, press releases etc.).
    Wikicode example: <span class="blizztext">Visit the official community site:</span> [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ <b class="blizzlink">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/</b>]
    i.e. Visit the official community site: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/

Patch notes and hotfixes[]

  • Use {{Patched|<patch>|<note>|<comment>}} to add patch note information to an article
    Wikicode example: {{{{patched|patch=3.1.0|note=Exorcism: Now can be used on any target and has a 100% chance to be a critical strike when used on Undead and Demons.|comment=This is to ensure that paladins do not see a drop in their dps when progressing from [[Naxxramas]] (which is full of undead) to [[Ulduar]] and beyond (not as much undead). Due to this change, {{loot|common|Glyph of Exorcism}} was changed to 20% bonus damage.}}
    i.e. Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Exorcism: Now can be used on any target and has a 100% chance to be a critical strike when used on Undead and Demons.
This is to ensure that paladins do not see a drop in their dps when progressing from Naxxramas (which is full of undead) to Ulduar and beyond (not as much undead). Due to this change, [Glyph of Exorcism] was changed to 20% bonus damage.
  • Use {{Patched|<date>|<bluenote>|<link>}} to add hotfix information to an article
    Wikicode example: {{Patched|date=2009-05-19|bluenote=Some of the trash mob packs have been removed in the areas leading to [[Ignis the Furnace Master]] and [[Freya]].|link=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16474158165&sid=1}}
    i.e. Hotfix (2009-05-19): "Some of the trash mob packs have been removed in the areas leading to Ignis the Furnace Master and Freya."

Quality Colors[]

The following templates change the color of the links. In case there is such a concern, note that each link, when moused over, has the underline in the typical link color. For instance, if a link does not exist, the underline is red; if it does exist, the underline is blue.

NOTE: Color for Artifact items used to be red and is currently undecided by Blizzard as there are no items of this type in-game yet, however GetItemQualityColor API function currently returns 0.90196..., 0.8, 0.50196..., "|cffe6cc80" (shown in that color) for quality=6 (Artifact), which gives some idea. Legendary items are said to have "(Color Undecided)" according to Item Basics at www.wow-europe.com, but have been seen in-game.

For simple quality links for use in other templates, use the following format:

  • the template name indicates the item has a quality
  • the first argument is the quality of a given item
  • the second argument is the name of a given item's article
Example Result
{{Quality|<Heirloom>|<heirloom>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Artifact>|<artifact>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Legendary>|<legendary>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Epic>|<epic>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Rare>|<rare>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Uncommon>|<uncommon>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Common>|<common>}} Mall:Quality
{{Quality|<Poor>|<poor>}} Mall:Quality

Simple color replacement templates deprecated using styling in MediaWiki:Common.css:

Class Color Code
qc-heirloom Heirloom <span class="qc-heirloom">Heirloom</span>
qc-artifact Artifact <span class="qc-artifact">Artifact</span>
qc-legendary Legendary <span class="qc-legendary">Legendary</span>
qc-epic Epic <span class="qc-epic">Epic</span>
qc-rare Rare <span class="qc-rare">Rare</span>
qc-uncommon Uncommon <span class="qc-uncommon">Uncommon</span>
qc-common Common <span class="qc-common">Common</span>
qc-poor Poor <span class="qc-poor">Poor</span>

Reputation colors[]

The following templates change the color of text based on the reputation selected.

Example Result
{{reputation|<exalted>}} exalted
{{reputation|<revered>}} revered
{{reputation|<honored>}} honored
{{reputation|<friendly>}} friendly
{{reputation|<neutral>}} neutral
{{reputation|<unfriendly>}} unfriendly
{{reputation|<hostile>}} hostile
{{reputation|<hated>}} hated

You can also color custom text as well. For example: {{reputation|hated|very hated}} results in very hated.

Colored text[]

You can also easily color inline text with {{text}}. This template comes preloaded with some common colors - "emote", "say", "yell", "whisper", and "blizz" but many other colors can be supplied as well.

For example: {{{Text|whisper|An Unknown Voice whispers: Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends.}} results in

An Unknown Voice whispers: Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends..

Item Links[]

To create an item link within an article, use the {{item}} template, passing it the name of the item's page on WoWWiki. If desired, you can also ask {{item}} to add the item's icon to its output by adding |icon= to the tooltip code.

Example Result
{{item|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (Warlock)}} Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (Warlock)
{{item|Azuresong Mageblade|icon=}} Azuresong Mageblade

Ability Links[]

To create an ability link within an article, use the {{ability}} template, passing it the name of the ability's page on WoWWiki.
