Template:TemplateTutorial
Hello, and welcome to the wiki! Creating a template is simple.
Step one: Type {{YourTemplateName}} (but substituting your own name) on whatever page you want your template on.
Step Two: You should see a red line that looks something like Template:YourTemplateName that is (unlike here) a link. Click it.
Step Three: Add the content of your template by typing it in wikitext. If you want to use a specific image, make sure to upload it first before linking to it in the template.
Step Four: Add content to the page that should not be included in the template. This can be done with the noinclude and /noinclude commands.
Step Five: Now that you've added the content of your template, it's time to use it! Use it in a page by typing {{YourTemplateName}} on whatever page you want to use it on. Make sure to not use it on comic pages or comic discussion pages.
I hope this helped you get started. Now get out there, make your templates, and don't be afraid to ask people for help. This tutorial is merely meant to be a stepping stone, made for basic understanding. Make sure you understand proper template etiquette before using your template on any page other than your own user page or talk page.
