List of wiki templates that are used in formatting areas/items that recur frequently across different pages. Some templates are simple and do not require any parameters while others do. A more [[Wiki Templates#Parameters|complete description]] is given below.

== Parameters ==
A parameter, or argument, is information that the template needs to complete its job. If a parameter is required, you must include it, if it is option you can omit it if it doesn't apply. For example if someone gives you a to do list, the purpose of the list is clear, you are supposed to do the items on the list. But for any given list, the items will differ. A template that requires parameters is the same idea. Separate the parameters with single pipes. Since a to do list can be very long, the template might include 30 option parameters, meaning you could have a list from zero to thirty items long. Here's an example of formatting a to do list with three items using the ToDoList template:
 
<pre>
{{ToDoList|Buy milk.|Return videos.|Wash car.}}
</pre>
 
How the list is formatted will depend on exactly how the actual template was setup, but here is one way it could be set up:
 
<div style="background-color:#E0E0E0; border:2px solid #C0C0C0;width:50%;padding:30px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:10%;margin-right:40%;">
<font color=#000000><big>'''To Do List'''</big>
----
# Buy milk.
# Return videos.
# Wash car.
</font></div>
