How to Use Page Layouts to Design your Help Wiki Page.
Page Layouts that Utilize Templates
- Templates allow the user to format pages into preexisting layouts without needing to know HTML.

- If you want to convert your page from template format to HTML input "subst:" right before the start of the template
- How to set up a template
- All templates must open and close with curly brackets
- Example: Template:Template
- Formating commands must open with a pipe and end with equal signs
- Example:
- All templates must open and close with curly brackets
