Bookmarked templates

  • Template:DEFAULTSORT – Place on articles (Traditionally, at the end, before the categories) whose title begins with “The” or is the name of a person (for example). This lets the MediaWiki software know where to place the article in alphabetical lists
  • Template:Fact – Add at the end of statements which you believe should have an inline citation, but which doesn’t (Use your common sense: the statement “The sky is blue” probably does not need a citation).
  • Template:Infobox person – A generic infobox for people (Like the one you see on the right)! :-)
  • Template:Refimprove – Use when an article contains at least one reference, but they’re not enough!
  • Template:Technical – Add to talk pages of articles that you feel are too technical for a broad audience to be able to understand
  • Template:Underconstruction – Put this template on pages you are currently busy editing, if you intend to take a really long time editing
  • Template:Unreferenced – Flags pages/articles which contain no references whatsoever
  • Template:W-short – My favourite of the many greeting templates, for welcoming new members to Wikipedia
  • Template:WPBiography – Place on talk pages of articles which are biographies of people (Living or deceased)
  • Template:WikiProjectBannerShell – When articles fall into more than one WikiProject, use this template around any other WikiProject templates
