<br />
Templates are shortcuts for special formatting within the Wiki to make text look more pretty and mark certain types of content.<br />
<br />
A template is referenced like this:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{template_name | optional_parameters }}</nowiki><br />
<br />
= Standard templates used by FreeThoughtPedia =<br />
<br />
== Wip: Marking an article as a '''Work In Progress''' ==<br />
<br />
This template is used to indicate a page that's a work in progress. This is usually placed at the top of a page:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{wip|MYNAME}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Where '''MYNAME''' is the name of the person who is working on the page, or if you invite others to help edit<br />
the page, leave that blank such as: <br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{wip}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
{{wip}}<br />
<br />
== Bluebox: Using a shaded blue box (usually to indicate theist/quoted testimony) ==<br />
<br />
This template can be used to show a typical argument/quote.<br />
<br />
Usage:<br />
<nowiki>{{bluebox|<br />
CONTENT<br />
}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<nowiki>{{bluebox|<br />
One look at the beauty of our world and it's obvious: ''God did it!''<br />
}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
{{bluebox|<br />
One look at the beauty of our world and it's obvious: ''God did it!''<br />
}}<br />
<br />
== Biblequote: quoting text from scripture ==<br />
<br />
This template is used for bible references. <br />
<br />
Usage: <nowiki>{{biblequote|book|chap-verse|text|version}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<nowiki>{{biblequote|Romans|13:8|Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one<br />
another, for he who loves his fellow-man has fulfilled the law.|(NIV)}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
{{biblequote|Romans|13:8|Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow-man has fulfilled the law.|(NIV)}}<br />
<br />
== Az: embedding a link to a product on Amazon.com ==<br />
<br />
This template makes it easy to put a quick link to Amazon.com for anyone interested in finding more information out about, or purchasing publications and other products. Our hosting company has an account with Amazon and will get a percentage of any sales made, which helps cover the costs of operating this site -- it's another way of supporting FreeThouhtPedia.<br />
<br />
Usage <nowiki>{{Az|ASIN|text to hilight}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
where ASIN is the product ID number. You can find this in the url of a typical Amazon product listing:<br />
<br />
For example, here's the URL displayed when you look at the book, "The Brick Testament"<br />
<nowiki>http://www.amazon.com/Brick-Testament-Stories-Book-Genesis/dp/</nowiki>'''1931686459'''/ref=pd_bbs_sr_...<br />
The part in '''bold''' is the ASIN (1931686459), so you could do something like this:<br />
<nowiki>{{Az|1931686459|The Brick Testament}}</nowiki><br />
and it would come out like this:<br />
:{{Az|1931686459|The Brick Testament}}<br />
<br />
<br />
