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 a doc subpage.'''
 
== [[:Category:Infobox templates|Infoboxes]] ==
These infoboxes can be used on both canon and fanon articles. These templates automatically add categories to a page based on the information entered into them. These templates automatically apply either canon or fanon categories, depending on where they are used.

{{T|Simbio-start|...}} and {{T|Simbio-end}}
**For Sims appearing in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' or its expansion, use {{t|Infobox medsim}}
 
Between those two templates may be any or all of the following depending on which game the Sim appears:
{{T|Simbio1|...}}, {{T|Simbio2|...}} , and {{T|Simbio3|...}}

Line 119:
* 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}}
== Message templates ==
* For articles that need reorganizing.
 
{{T|Supposition}}
===Player stories===
* 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.
Player stories should not be a part of the main article but a sub-page. Player stories sub-pages should be marked with the <code>{{t|Player Stories}}</code>, <code>{{t|Family Player Stories}}</code>, <code>{{t|Pet Player Stories}}</code> or <code>{{t|Neighborhood Player Stories}}</code> templates.
