Template:Working document

Templates, or tags, are used on Grand Theft Wiki as easy ways to instantly insert a particular set of instructions. Common usages on Technical Wiki are the messages at the top of the page (including this page).

View all templates

Templates are used by putting their tag at the top of the page, or wherever they are neeeded. A template's tag is its name in curly braces.

Templates are made simply by creating a page called Template:Name - and whatever is on that page will show up in every instance of the {{Name}} tag on Grand Theft Wiki.

{{working document}} shows up the banner at the top of this page, and is defined at Template:Working Document, and assigns it to a category, which is Category:Working Documents. Not all templates

Whenever the template is edited, each page that uses that template will change too. If you do not wish to link back to the template page, you can use {{subst templatename}}. Subst simply includes the contents of templatename once.
