Okay, now let us get started.The goal of templates is to help the article and make things clear. But to make things clear, who will make the templates clear? You. That's right- you. The templates would not work unless someone messed with them.[sarcasm] Otherwise templates would look like this:
Very, very boring. People just don't want to help articles with boring templates on it. So it's up to you to... jazz it up.
You also have to relate to the public.
Or just make the templates not interpretable to save everyone the time to read it.
So, why am I writing this? It's because one day I needed to use a template but I didn't know which template to use. An article had no references except for one secton. Since I didn't know which template to use, I just used the "no references" template. That wouldn't work, since there was one reference. However, I messed with the template and it turned out better[sarcasm] than if I had just used "citation needed" a bunch of times!
Doesn't that look much better??[sarcasm]NO??Says the person who messed with templates in their sandbox.Well... anyway. I wanted to pass this information on to all future Wikipedians. And the next time you see too many photos on a page:
