Additional templates for template pages can be found in [[:Category:Template namespace templates]] and its subcategories.
This page provides an '''index of [[Help:Template|templates]]''' used within Wikipedia, many of which convey ''messages''; they are grouped into topic-specific headings. For information on what templates are, and how the template namespace is intended to be used, see [[WP:Template namespace]]. For information on template use and development, see [[Help:Template]]. For the project team looking after templates on Wikipedia, see [[WP:WikiProject Templates]].


{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"
For navigation templates rather than notices, see [[WP:Navigation templates]]. For stub templates (used to flag articles as incomplete and needing significant expansion), see [[WP:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]]. For some examples of message templates, see [[WP:Template index/Examples]]. For examples of combined message boxes, see [[Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup/Verifiability and sources#Combined message boxes|WP:Template index/Cleanup/Verifiability and sources § Combined message boxes]].

[[Category:Template namespace templates| ]]
If you cannot find the template you are looking for, please click on the section headers that seem most relevant, since there may be templates for a particular usage covered on the detailed pages, but '''not''' listed in the table below.
[[Category:Wikipedia template administration]]


If you still cannot find the template you need, you can request it on [[Wikipedia:Requested templates]]. For help on creating templates, see [[Help:Template]] or contact a user who has identified themself as an [[:Category:User template coder|adept template coder]]. Note that in order to maintain consistent design of templates, there have been significant discussions about a variety of templates at both [[Template talk:Ambox]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Talk page templates]].

A more comprehensive category system may also be viewed at [[:Category:Wikipedia templates]].

===Can improvements be made easily to a page?===
Before placing cleanup templates on a page, it is worthwhile to cast a [[Critical thinking|critical]] eye over the page to determine whether or not you can make the improvements easily, thus eliminating the need for a tag.

==Search==
As an alternative to using this index, you can search the Template namespace using the box below:
<inputbox>
type=fulltext
width=40
namespaces=Template**
searchbuttonlabel=Search
bgcolor=#ffffff
break=no
placeholder=Search templates
</inputbox>

You can also search Wikipedia:Template messages in the box below:

<inputbox>
type=fulltext
width=40
prefix=Wikipedia:Template messages
searchbuttonlabel=Search
break=no
placeholder=Search Wikipedia:Template messages
</inputbox>

{{-}}

==Article-related namespace==
''Please list '''navigational templates''' (as, for example, between pages relating to a specific topic) at [[Wikipedia:Navigation template]] or at the appropriate [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] page.''

<!--
Note: COUNT THE TABLES and number yours if you add a new one! If your table is more than the 4th one, start a new table row as #1 so all of them are even.
