Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Templates

There are many templates in use in ; these are only a subset, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

What are templates?
Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. ). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:
 * 1) a subpage using documentation; or
 * 2) the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
 * 3) the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.
