This is for advanced editors.
You may instead add content quickly.
At the source level, wiki entries are usually separated into 4 parts separated by the line "====":
- main content
- source of a decorative image (often by "flickr:flickr_id" syntax)
- additional content (diverse usage depending on a page's category, as described in category hub)
- general description of the item
Let's call this structure the scheme of the article content.
As a built-in Wikidot category, template means initial content for new entries. This will be visible at the start of making new article in the category and will hint the meaning of additional elements of scheme and the structure of the main content. It's not used in every category.
- Initial content: Activity
- Initial content: Cite
- Initial content: Glossary
- Initial content: People
- Initial content: Rename
- Initial content: Sub
Lists of templates
Templates as a shared look for a category are done in category:_template pages.
- No category: _template
- Template: Activity
- Template: Book
- Template: Cite
- Template: Cue
- Template: Data (form)
- Template: Ep
- Template: Event (form)

- Template: Other (deprecated)
- Template: People
- Template: Print

- Time-c: _template
But if you need to assign CSS style for a category, do it in the file that is called category:_css, because templates above will be adjusted only after editing the basic page within the category, and changes in CSS below will have instant effects for all pages in the category.
