Wiki Templates
Templates are standard wiki pages whose content is designed to be transcluded (embedded) inside other pages. Templates follow a convention that the name is prefixed with "Template:", assigning it to that namespace. Therefore you can create them like any other wiki page.

Wiki Template Clean Up
When template are placed in any article they come with a Category and if the Category is not given a noinclude order it will show on every page it it placed on. We have many of these in the Wiki. The goal is to get these under control by placing the order before and after each template that has not been secured in this way. Example: Our first project is Category:Image_map_templates

&lt;noinclude&gt;
 * On the Page Category:Image_map_templates we will be putting the following on all the template pages that do not have them

&lt;/noinclude&gt;


 * First find the page that does not have the noinclude. Regular pages should not be on this category page.
 * Click on the page. To put the noinclude instruction on go into Wikitext.Then go to the bottomof the page and click on the link Template:(name of county) Clickable Neighbors go in and put the noinclude and save.
 * Check work by going back to page and see if category Category:Image_map_templates is gone.
