This is the '''local template index for the Elite Dangerous Wiki'''. Browse by purpose below, or use the alphabetical directory to find a template by name.
<div class="hatnote">This index is adapted from Wikipedia. Examples and linked guidance may describe its processes; check that each template and its instructions apply here before using it.</div>

* [[Project:Template guide|Template guide]] - usage, parameters and local examples.
* [[Project:Templates|Community template list]] - game-specific templates.
* [[Special:AllPages/Template:|All local templates]] - the full alphabetical directory.


This page provides an '''index of [[Help:Template|templates]]''' used within Elite Dangerous Wiki, many of which convey ''messages''; they are grouped into topic-specific headings. For information on what templates are and how to use them, see [[Help:Template]].

For practical examples and advice, see the [[Project:Template guide|local template guide]].

==Using this page==
The '''bold links''' at the top of each cell lead to detailed pages which describe the templates in that section in detail and explain how and when to use them.

If you cannot find the template you are looking for, please click on the section headers that seem most relevant, since there may be templates for a particular usage covered on the detailed pages, but '''not''' listed in the table below.

If you cannot find the template you need, browse [[Special:AllPages/Template:|all local templates]] or ask for help on the relevant template talk page. See [[Project:Template guide|the template guide]] for local examples and advice.

You can also browse the [[Special:AllPages/Template:|local template directory]].

===Can improvements be made easily to a page?===
Before placing cleanup templates on a page, it is worthwhile to cast a [[Critical thinking|critical]] eye over the page to determine whether you can make the improvements easily, thus removing the need for a tag, avoiding double-handling, and improving the page more quickly.
