{{subst:Anchor comment}} → <!-- This Anchor tag serves to provide a permanent target for incoming section links. Please do not move it out of the section heading, even though it disrupts edit summary generation (you can manually fix the edit summary before you save your changes). Please do not modify it, even if you modify the section title. It is always best to anchor an old section header that has been changed so that links to it won't be broken. See [[Template:Anchor]] for details. This template is {{subst:Anchor comment}} -->
{{Daterange|July 2002|April 2004}} → July 2002 to April 2004

{{subst:Long comment}} → {{Short pages monitor}}<!-- This long comment was added to the page to prevent it from being listed on Special:Shortpages. It and the accompanying monitoring template were generated via Template:Long comment. Please do not remove the monitor template without removing the comment as well.-->
{{Nowrap}} stops wrapping of specific text. It prevents word wraps (line breaks) within text or inside a link which contains spaces or hyphens ("-"). The size of the nowrapped text becomes the minimum width of that paragraph. Before you use this template you might want to read up on Wikipedia:Line-break handling.
<!-- {{No more links}}

Wikipedia is not a collection of links and should not be used for advertising.
Excessive or inappropriate links will be removed.

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.
{{Discussion top}} and {{Discussion bottom}} templates are used to close discussions on a talk page or a noticeboard. When used on a talk page, these templates should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. They should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.
Usage
Place {{Discussion top}}below the header containing the discussion, then place {{Discussion bottom}} at the end of the discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached may be included as a parameter in the former. Again: Place them below the header. Do not include the header, it will break archiving bots!
Example
== Header ==
{{Discussion top|reason=The result of this discussion was '''template created'''. ~~~~}}
I suggest that we make a template to note completed discussions. [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 13:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
* How about calling it ''discussion top'' and ''discussion bottom''? [[User:Example2|Example2]] ([[User talk:Example2|talk]]) 06:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Collapse templates
Collapsed collapse templates
{{Collapse}} - used for placing collapse boxes around short discussions and bits of discussions. Do not use around content that consists of or includes wikitables. To fold long discussion threads, use {{Collapse top}}... lots of text ...{{Collapse bottom}}. This template should only be used in accordance with the Wikipedia:refactoring guideline; it should never be used to end a discussion over the objections of other editors, except in cases of unambiguous disruptive editing.
Example:
{{subst:Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|2=Title of box|bg=#FDD5B1}}
{{Hidden
| framestyle = <!-- CSS styling applied to section -->
| titlealign = <!-- center (default), left or right -->
| titlestyle = <!-- CSS styling applied to title -->
| title = Example
| content = ''{{Lorem ipsum}}''
}}

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
{{Divhide}} - will allow you to collapse a section of a page. The first parameter is the title of the collapse section, and the second (optional parameter) is the width. To close the section, use {{divhide|end}}.
Example:
{{divhide|Test}}
These are the hidden contents.
{{divhide|end}}
Produces:
Test
These are the hidden contents.
Example:
{{divhide|Half test|50%}}
These are the hidden contents, and the box only takes up 50% of the page.
{{divhide|end}}
Produces:
Half Test
These are the hidden contents, and the box only takes up 50% of the page.

Ping not showing in page view: [[User:Sam Sailor|{{Zwsp}}]] – Zwsp = the Zero-width space character, U+200BZERO WIDTH SPACE (​, ​, ​, ​, ​). This idea was made into a template:
{{Reflist hide}} → Add {{reflist hide}} to a page to hide the references list. This template may be placed on a user page to eliminate error messages without showing the reference list. It may also be used on help pages to separate examples and ensure that reference lists are explicitly closed.
To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use <code>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: someMethod becomes someMethod
( or {{dc}}) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (<blink>) while {{dcr}} uses red (<blink>).
To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
{{bulleted list
| 2018-09-06T12:36: The account {{U|Ladenmark}} {{userlinks-abbr|Ladenmark|admin=yes}} is created.
| 18:46: User creates [[Special:PermaLink/858376590|Draft:Bram Inscore]] (6,192 bytes) as their first and only edit. Bram Inscore has worked with Brett McLaughlin, known professionally as Leland, and the article [[Leland (musician)]] has apparently been used as a template for the draft.
| Next morning 2018-09-07T07:23: The account {{U|Hovedtelefoner}} {{userlinks-abbr|Hovedtelefoner|admin=yes}} is created.
| 08:38: User makes their first edit in [[Special:Diff/858395689/858451690|this diff]] to [[Draft:Bram Inscore]]. The edit shows editing knowledge about {{ordered list |list_style_type=lower-alpha |General Wiki markup |{{tag|ref}} tags |CS1 templates |Wiki tables |Categories (although not [[WP:DRAFTNOCAT]] |etc.}}
| They then make {{UserContribs|Hovedtelefoner|12 edits within 85 minutes}} in main space, all marked as minor, 11 with the edit summary ''grammar''. All edits are perfectly fine.
| They return immediately after to [[Draft:Bram Inscore]] and in [[Special:Diff/858458877|this diff]] adds a {{tl|cite web}} (should have been a {{tl|cite book}}) to a book title found via Google Books. Notice that the the URL ends in '''[[.dk]]''' indicating that the user is working from a computer on a Danish IP. (I should know, I am Danish.)
| [[User:Hovedtelefoner]] then two minutes later adds a perfect {{tls|submit}} to the draft in [[Special:Diff/858458877/next|this diff]].
| {{lang|da|Hovedtelefoner}} means "head phones", and {{lang|da|Ladenmark}} is a rather rare Danish surname, although it could be a [[portmanteau]] of "LA"+"Denmark" as well. Bram Inscore is – coincidently? – based in Los Angeles.
| I suggest a CU for sleepers or connections to other previous accounts.
