This seems like a simple question, but I'm trying to learn how templates are created. I've looked around the various help sections, but can't really find specific instructions. I started this search after noticing the Adventure Journal reference templates, and thought similar templates can be created for other magazines. --JMM 17:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, that's a very general question you're asking. Templates can range from infoboxes to tags to little things like what you are talking about. To create one, I'd start a new page like: Template:Whatever and then copy and paste the code for an existing template. That's what I've done for every one of my templates ({{argument}} {{UserNominated}}, and it's worked. Also, you might want to ask a user well versed in templates, like Sikon or Xwing328 to help you optimize the coding if you're like me and don't know much code. Atarumaster88
