Templates
Wikia users often find a need to insert the same chunk of text in many different articles. "Templates" are Wikia's way of makeing this easy to do. Some templates are designed to provide a standardized message, simply a way to make sure that the message is always said the same way. Other templates are used to provide a constant format for article components, such as a vital statistics table, that are used frequently but with different facts each time. There is also a specialized type of template (called "Magic Words") which when placed in an article inserts certain bits of information, such as the current date. Here are some links that will help you explore the use of templates on this site:
