There are many, many templates in use in WoWWiki and these are only subset, hopefully representing the most commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

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. See Help:Template for further information on using and creating templates.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (i.e. {{Horde Icon}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Icon-lightbulb
Tip of the day: Use ~~~~ and it will be replaced with [[User:<yourname>|<yourname>]] and the date on save!

Accuracy[]

  • {{accuracy}} displays a banner requesting a fact check


Better name / Conjecture[]

  • {{bettername}} displays a banner flagging the article as probably needing a new name


Citations needed[]

Cleanup[]

{{Cleanup|<reasons>}}


Add to articles or sections (or images or files) that require editing attention. This will include them in Category:Articles to clean up.

Please try and add reasons - this will help editors to change what is wrong or add what is not there without having to ask the user who tagged the page.

Alliance info needed[]

{{Alliance update|<reasons>}}


This is a specific type of cleanup request similar to a stub notification, but specifically requesting Alliance-perspective info updates.

Horde info needed[]

{{Horde update|<reasons>}}


This is a specific type of cleanup request similar to a stub notification, but specifically requesting Horde-perspective info updates.

Construction[]


Deletion templates[]

{{Delete}}, {{Speedydelete}}, {{Speedydeleteanonpc}}, {{Terminate}} etc. are used as part of the article deletion process. See delete, Terminate.






Disputed[]


Generic[]

  • {{Generic}} displays a banner noting this page or file has too generic a name and should be renamed.


Merge[]

{{Merge|<target article>}}


Add to articles that should be merged into one article. This will include them in Category:Merge candidates. Further elaboration on the articles' discussion pages would be helpful, such as suggesting which name both articles should be listed under.

Move[]

{{Move|<target article>|<doc=1>}}


Add to articles that should be moved to another name (Category:Move candidates), in accordance with the Naming Policy. While many moves can be made immediately, if moving will be an involved process (as with a category) or there is debate as to what the article should be called, it is best to receive some feedback first. Use |doc=1 to suppress adding page to category.

{{Move-section|<reason plus link to target article>|<doc=1>}}

Icon-move-48x48 This section concerns content that is needs to be moved to another article. Reason: Wrong topic, move to some other article.

For sections that should be moved to other articles (Category:Move section candidates). Use |doc=1 to suppress adding page to category.

Outdated[]

  • {{Outdated|<optional_reason>}} or the shorthand, {{ood}} (also usable on images)


  • {{Outdated-section|<optional_reason>}} for only specific sections. Keep the reason short, if you can.
Icon-time This section concerns content that is out-of-date.

Stat squish[]

{{Outdated|Still needs Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Patch 6.0.2 stat squish adjustment.|doc={{{doc|

  • {{Statsquish-section|<brief_specifics>}} for only specific sections. Keep the reason short, if you can.
Icon-time This section is out-of-date. Needs Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Patch 6.0.2 stat squish adjustment.

Removed[]



Split[]


Add to articles that should have sections split off into separate articles. This will include them in Category:Split candidates. Be sure to clarify on the article's discussion page which sections you think should be moved to a new article, and why.

Stubs[]

When a page has little or no useful information, then it is a stub.

And several more:

Section stubs[]

If you want to stub a section for filling in later, use {{sectionstub}} just below the section header.

Icon-edit-22x22
Note: This is a generic section stub. You can help expand it by clicking Sprite-monaco-pencil Edit to the right of the section title.

Talk pages[]

{{Talkheader|analysis=on}} (from {{Talkheader}})

This template can be added to an article's talk page where discussion about the issue in general is overwhelming editorial concerns regarding the article in particular. See WoWWiki:Talk page guidelines for more info.

Unused[]

Use this on unused files (image, PDF, sound, video, etc.).


Wikify[]

  • {{Wikify-section|<optional_reason>}} for only specific sections. Keep the reason short, if you can.
Icon-template This section concerns content that needs wikifying.


General wiki templates[]

Category helpers[]

  • Use {{Server_US|<realm type>|<timezone>|<server>}} to easily categorize US servers. (timezone = Eastern, Central, Pacific, etc....) (server = article name minus Server:, helps alphabetize categories)
  • Use {{Server_EU|<realm type>|<language>|<server>}} to easily categorize EU servers. (language = English, French, German, etc....) (server = article name minus Server:, helps alphabetize categories)
  • Use {{Guild|<name>|<realm>|<loc>|<type>}} to easily categorize guilds.
  • Use {{correct2category|<article type>|<good-category>}} at the top of category pages that shouldn't be used to tell people what category they should be using.
  • Use {{bigcat}} at the bottom of very large (nearly or over 200 articles) categories:
  • Note that {{catredirect|destination category}} is no longer required as of the MediaWiki 1.7 upgrade. You can now use regular #redirect [[:Category:destination category]] redirects. Old/deprecated categories should never be redirected per the category policy.

Clear below break before starting[]

  • You can use {{clear}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
  • You can also use {{clear|<left>}} or {{clear|<right>}} to clear only left or right floats

Columns[]

To easily put content in columns, use {{col-begin}}, {{col-2}}/{{col-3}}/{{col-4}}/{{col-5}}/{{col-6}}/{{col-7}}, and {{col-end}}.

For example
{{col-begin}}
{{col-3}}
First column
{{col-3}}
Second
{{col-3}}
Third
{{col-end}}
Yields

First column

Second

Third

Disambiguation[]

  • Use {{disambig}}, if a page has a chance of being confused with a page of a similar name but different content, a disambiguation page may be in order. See that page for more info on creating one and linking to it.
  • However, sometimes a disabiguation page is not appropriate, but a short note at the top may still be necessary. {{for}} can be useful for this situation.
{{for|the original 40-man raid introduced in [[Patch 1.11]]|Naxxramas (original)}}
For the original 40-man raid introduced in Patch 1.11, see Naxxramas (original).

Example, Example/Begin, Example/End[]

{{Example|<small text>}} can be used for very small examples, but often you will want to pull in substantial pieces of other pages or templates, in which case you can use {{Example/Begin}} LOTS of text, probably multiline {{Example/End}}:

LOTS of text, probably multiline

{{keypress|A}} produces A

To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:

{{keypress|Alt|P}} produces Alt+P
{{keypress|Ctrl|Alt|Del}} produces Ctrl+Alt+Del

Other examples:

{{keypress|Shift}} produces ⇧ Shift
{{keypress|Enter}} produces ↵ Enter
{{keypress|Cmd}} produces ⌘ Cmd
{{keypress|Opt}} produces ⌥ Opt
{{keypress|Tab}} produces Tab ⇆

Items[]

To create an item link within an article, use the {{item}} template, passing it the name of the item's page on WoWWiki. If desired, you can also ask {{item}} to add the item's icon to its output by adding |icon= to the tooltip code.

Example Result
{{item|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (warlock)}} [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]
{{item|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (warlock)|Warlock's Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian}} [Warlock's Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]
{{item|Azuresong Mageblade|icon=}} Inv sword 39 [Azuresong Mageblade]
{{item|Heirloom with no page}} Heirloom with no page

Loot[]

A bit more complicated to use (you have to supply the quality), the {{loot}} doesn't work the wiki engine as hard, still supplies tooltips, and works better for items without pages yet ({{item}} pulls quality info from the {{tooltip}} on the page).

Example Result
{{loot|legendary|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (warlock)}} [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (warlock)]
{{loot|legendary|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (warlock)|Warlock's Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian}} [Warlock's Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]
{{loot|epic|Azuresong Mageblade}} [Azuresong Mageblade]
{{loot|heirloom|Heirloom with no page}} [Heirloom with no page]
External links
Items of all sorts
{{Elinks-item|<ID>}}
Example: {{Elinks-item|1388}}
Output: Crooked Staff

Glyph[]

The {{glyph}} template is a derivative of {{loot}} that checks for "glyph of" and doesn't require a quality.

Example Result
{{glyph|Glyph of Unending Breath}} [Glyph of Unending Breath]
{{glyph|Not a glyph}} This doesn't appear to be a glyph

GM item[]

  • {{GM-item}} displays a banner noting this item is most likely for GMs only.



Guilds[]

These template can both link to the Battle.net guild page at the official site.

Internal links

Mobs and NPCs[]

If you just want to link to a mob or NPC with a link that will show a tooltip on mouseover you can use one of two templates.

  • {{mob|<name>|<title>|<optional label>|<boss=>|<level=>}} - does not require a faction as a parameter, but |boss= (no value needed) will show the boss skull (Boss 15) before the mob link and |level= (no value needed) can be used to show the mob level (add a "+" after the level number to indicate Elite).
Example: {{mob|Hogger|Scourge of Low-level Alliance|boss=|level=11+}}
Output: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. [11+] Hogger <Scourge of Low-level Alliance>
  • {{NPC|<faction>|<name>|<title>|<optional label>|<boss=>|<level=>}} - requires faction as the first parameter. Also uses |level= (no value needed) can be used to show the mob level (add a "+" after the level number to indicate Elite).
Example: {{NPC|Horde|Baine Bloodhoof|High Chieftain|level=??+}}
Output: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. [??+] Baine Bloodhoof <High Chieftain>

DB mob and NPC external links[]

Mob or NPC
Example: {{Elinks-NPC|17876}}
Output: Thrall from Old Hillsbrad Foothills

Battle.net boss external links[]

Instance bosses
{{Bnetwowboss|<Instance name>|<Boss name>|<optional boss label>}}
Example: {{Bnetwowboss|Scarlet Monastery|High Inquisitor Whitemane}}
Output:

Objects[]

The tooltip only works for this type of link, if the object page has a {{tooltip}} template used on it like a regular item. An |id= should be added for objects that have no corresponding page, but links should have the |id= removed when the page exists.

Example Result
{{object|Tattered Chest}} [Tattered Chest]
{{object|Tattered Chest|s}} [Tattered Chests]
{{object|Tattered Chest|id=2844}} [Tattered Chest]ω τ ϖ
{{object|Imaginary Chest|id=2844}} [Imaginary Chest]ω τ ϖ

Player characters[]

This template will link to the Battle.net character page at the official site.

External links
{{Elink-PC|<MyChar>|<MyServer>|<US/EU>|<faction=a or h>|<>|<showrealm=>}}

Usage:

{{Elink-PC|MyChar|MyServer|EU}}

Quests[]

There are two ways to link to quest articles. There is the normal way, because sometimes you just need to mention the quest, which makes use of the template {{quest}}, that automatically drops the "Quest:" from the name (used for cleaner code):

{{quest|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You}} as opposed to [[Quest:Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You]]

The second way is more detailed, and is usually used in bulleted lists.

{{questlong|<faction>|<questlevel>|<questname>|<displayname>}}

Usage: {{questlong|Neutral|54|Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You}}
Displays: N [54] Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You

External links
{{elinks-quest|<id>}}

Usage: {{elinks-quest|7504}}

Displays:


Quest change[]

If you see a small part of a quest article, a section of a quest article, or a small part or section of an article involved with a quest that you want to mark as significantly changed you can use the following templates (inline and section).

{{Questch-inline}}
Displays: Questchanged

{{Questch-section}}

Displays:

Questchanged Note: These quests are no longer associated with this particular mob/NPC/item.


Footers[]

See also: Category:Navigation templates

These templates take one parameter "class" which should be replaced by the class name; "Mage", "Warrior" etc. This is used to create links back to class-specific pages.

Instances and zones[]

External links to Battle.net[]

Instances
Example: {{Bnetwowinstance|Temple of AhnQiraj|Temple of Ahn'Qiraj}}
Output:
Zones

Battle.net doesn't have pages for zones in the regular Game Guide, so these links will just search battle.net for the zone name.

  • {{Bnetwowzone|<Zone name or page>|<Zone name>|<expansion=>}}
Example: {{Bnetwowzone|KunLai Summit|Kun-Lai Summit}}
Output:

However, if you specify the expansion for Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Mists of Pandaria zones, the link will point to the zone specific page.

Example: {{Bnetwowzone|The Jade Forest}}

Usage: {{elinks-zone|14}}

Displays:

NOTE: The template above can be used for subzones by supplying the subzone id as the id, but Wowhead/Thottbot don't really support subzones anymore and WoWDB seems to have some, but reports them as "This zone is not available in game." Predecessor to WoWDB, DB.MMO-Champion.com is obsolete and only supported subzones from Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Cataclysm and earlier.

Subzones[]

Unfortunately most databases have been inconsistent and spotty with their support of subzones by id, but MMO4EVER seems to do a good job up through Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Cataclysm subzones, but you have to supply the zone id also which is a bit extra work.

Blizzard[]

Blizzard text colors[]

  • Use {{text|<blizz>|<text>}} or class="blizztext" for coloring official Blizzard text
    Wikicode example: {{t|text|blizz|All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.}}
    Wikicode example: <span class="blizztext">All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.</span>
    i.e. All your CC trinkets will be nerfed against level 60 in 2.0.3, but that's how it was supposed to work.
  • For those using Monaco skin, use class="blizzlink" for coloring official Blizzard links (in posts, announcements, press releases etc.).
    Wikicode example: <span class="blizztext">Visit the official community site:</span> [http://http://us.battle.net/wow/en/ <b class="blizzlink">http://us.battle.net/wow/en/</b>]
    i.e. Visit the official community site: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/

Patch notes and hotfixes[]

NOTE: Do not use worldofwarcraft.com or wow-europe.com-based URLs unless you must. Since the Battle.net transition most will not work anymore.

  • Use {{Patched|<patch>|<note>|<comment>}} to add patch note information to an article
    Wikicode example: {{{{patched|patch=3.1.0|note=Exorcism: Now can be used on any target and has a 100% chance to be a critical strike when used on Undead and Demons.|comment=This is to ensure that paladins do not see a drop in their dps when progressing from [[Naxxramas]] (which is full of undead) to [[Ulduar]] and beyond (not as much undead). Due to this change, {{loot|common|Glyph of Exorcism}} was changed to 20% bonus damage.}}
    i.e. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Exorcism: Now can be used on any target and has a 100% chance to be a critical strike when used on Undead and Demons.
This is to ensure that paladins do not see a drop in their dps when progressing from Naxxramas (which is full of undead) to Ulduar and beyond (not as much undead). Due to this change, [Glyph of Exorcism] was changed to 20% bonus damage.
  • Use {{Patched|<date>|<bluenote>|<link>}} to add hotfix information to an article
    Wikicode example: {{Patched|date=2009-05-19|bluenote=Some of the trash mob packs have been removed in the areas leading to [[Ignis the Furnace Master]] and [[Freya]].|link=http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/6752/recent-in-game-fixes-april-may-2009}}
    i.e. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Hotfix (2009-05-19): "Some of the trash mob packs have been removed in the areas leading to Ignis the Furnace Master and Freya."

Quality Colors[]

The following templates change the color of the links. In case there is such a concern, note that each link, when moused over, has the underline in the typical link color. For instance, if a link does not exist, the underline is red; if it does exist, the underline is blue.

NOTE: Color for Artifact items used to be red and is currently undecided by Blizzard as there are no items of this type in-game yet, however GetItemQualityColor API function currently returns 0.90196..., 0.8, 0.50196..., "|cffe6cc80" (shown in that color) for quality=6 (Artifact), which gives some idea.

For simple quality links for use in other templates, use the following format:

  • the template name indicates the item has a quality
  • the first argument is the quality of a given item
  • the second argument is the name of a given item's article
Example Result
{{Quality|<Heirloom>|<heirloom>}} heirloom
{{Quality|<Artifact>|<artifact>}} artifact
{{Quality|<Legendary>|<legendary>}} legendary
{{Quality|<Epic>|<epic>}} epic
{{Quality|<Rare>|<rare>}} rare
{{Quality|<Uncommon>|<uncommon>}} uncommon
{{Quality|<Common>|<common>}} common
{{Quality|<Poor>|<poor>}} poor
Non-quality colors using Quality template
{{Quality|<Wowtoken>|<wowtoken>}} wowtoken
{{Quality|<Enchant>|<enchant>}} enchant
{{Quality|<Object>|<object>}} object
{{Quality|<Ability>|<ability>}} ability
{{Quality|<Power>|<power>}} power

Simple color replacement templates deprecated using styling in MediaWiki:Common.css:

Class Color Code
qc-heirloom Heirloom <span class="qc-heirloom">Heirloom</span>
qc-artifact Artifact <span class="qc-artifact">Artifact</span>
qc-legendary Legendary <span class="qc-legendary">Legendary</span>
qc-epic Epic <span class="qc-epic">Epic</span>
qc-rare Rare <span class="qc-rare">Rare</span>
qc-uncommon Uncommon <span class="qc-uncommon">Uncommon</span>
qc-common Common <span class="qc-common">Common</span>
qc-poor Poor <span class="qc-poor">Poor</span>

Reputation colors[]

The {{reputation|<rep level>|<link page>|<alt text>}} template changes the color of text based on the reputation selected.

Example Result
{{reputation|exalted}} exalted
{{reputation|revered}} revered
{{reputation|honored}} honored
{{reputation|friendly}} friendly
{{reputation|neutral}} neutral
{{reputation|unfriendly}} unfriendly
{{reputation|hostile}} hostile
{{reputation|hated}} hated

You can also color custom text as well. For example: {{reputation|hated|very hated}} results in very hated.

Colored text[]

You can also easily color inline text with {{text}}. This template comes preloaded with some common colors - "emote", "say", "yell", "whisper", and "blizz" but many other colors can be supplied as well.

For example (2 params): {{Text|whisper|An Unknown Voice whispers: Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends.}} results in

An Unknown Voice whispers: Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends.

...or (3 params): {{Text|whisper|An Unknown Voice|Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends.}} results in

An Unknown Voice whispers: Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends.
