=== Q: How are templates used? ===

A template can standardize and save large amounts of time. To add a template to a page click 'Edit source' and paste in the template.

An example template is [[Template:Coord]], used to affix a link to CCMap centered on specified coordinates. To center on x=0, z=0 with a viewing radius of 100, paste <code><nowiki>{{Coord|0|0|100}}</nowiki></code>. This will render as {{Coord|0|0|100}}

=== Dating information ===

Information that may quickly go out of date should be dated. (E.g. ''the population of X is 40'' should be replaced with ''the population of X is 40, as of January 2020''). If you find information that is not dated, affix the template:

<pre>{{when}}</pre>
