Category:Wikicode templates

Templates used to illustrate (and usually specially format) examples of wiki syntax without having to "protect" the text with nowiki> tags.

For example, the template reference stub, which may be generated using:
 * tt>nowiki>{{stub}}/nowiki>/tt>

can be obtained more efficiently by using Template:T, as follows:
 * stub

Generally this kind of thing is only useful in templates themselves and/or template documentation, or on other "help" pages explaining wiki syntax. Therefore, as a general rule, these templates should not be used in articles.
