Templates are used to make it easier on a page to store information, as some of the information is stored elsewhere. Templates are used to make it easier on the editors, as to provide a common content and save time instead of placing the exact same content in different locations. Templates are also used as tools to help direct community involvement for the maintenance of an article. But what makes a "Good Template"? | |||
While there will never be an absolute way to say "this is a good template", there are certain things we should expect from each template and there respective pages (such as documentation and usage information). Due to the nature and infinitely diverse uses of templates, having a common expectation for each page does help standardize the pages. | While there will never be an absolute way to say "this is a good template", there are certain things we should expect from each template and there respective pages (such as documentation and usage information).
