Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.
Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template ''(e.g. <code>{{t|stub}}</code>).'' Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.
'''Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on either the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags) or
== [[:Category:Infobox templates|Infoboxes]] ==

=== Disambiguation articles ===
{{t|disambig}}
* If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets
: '''[[The Prince]]''' <-- disambiguation page, with links to:
:: [[The Prince (frog)]]
Line 33 ⟶ 82:
{{t|stub}}
* When a page has little or no useful information, then it is likely a stub. This template will include them in [[:Category:Stubs]], and is used to list which articles need expanding.
You can find more specific stubs in the [[:Category:Stubs|stubs category]].
Articles that are blank or contain no useful information will be deleted.
{{t|expand}}
* Expand can be used to indicate a section that requires expanding.
=== Missing info ===
{{t|Missing-info}}
* Add this to a page if
{{t|Missing-Sim-info}}
* Add this to a page if there is missing information from a Sim's bio. This adds the article to a sub-category of [[:Category:Missing info]] depending on what info is missing.
{{t|Needs-infobox}}
*Add this to a page if it is missing an infobox. This will add the article to [[:Category:Needs infobox]].
{{t|Needs-image}}
* Add this to a page if it is missing an image of the subject. It will add the article to [[:Category:Articles requiring images]].
{{t|Needs-headshot}}
* Add this to a page if it is missing an image of a Sim. It will add the article to [[:Category:Needs head shot]].
=== Articles needing improvement ===
{{t|Cleanup|reason}}
* A general template
{{T|Clarify}}
* Placed after a word or statement needing to be clarified possibly because of a misspelling or awkward grammar.
{{T|Confirm}}
* Statements that are tagged with this template do not need to be cited by an outside source but should be confirmed by a trustworthy player or consensus.
{{T|Fact}}
* The <code>{{T|Fact}}</code> template indicates that reference or verification is needed that the statement is true. If the statement is true give an outside source (using <code>{{T|cite web}}</code> where possible) or describe or provide a screenshot when or where it occurs in-game. If the statement is false, '''remove it completely'''. Do not use a strikethrough.
{{T|Integrate}}
* For articles that need reorganizing.
{{T|Supposition}}
* Statements tagged with this template are common conjecture, based off supposed evidence from canon sources - the statements themselves may or may not be true, but are included because they are generally believed to be true or have some basis in canon. A link to the article's talk page is included, for discussion of particularly dubious suppositions which may warrant being removed from the article altogether.

===Unreleased and newly released ===
If an article contains information about an unreleased or newly released product, the under development template should be used. To tag an article, add <code>{{t|under development|release type|game code}}</code>.
