This page lists templates that aren't listed on NSwiki:Info boxes or NSwiki:Template messages. These are generally more advanced, larger, or used for more obscure types of pages.

Generic Method of Inserting a Template

Use the following code:

 {{TEMPLATE NAME |
 fieldname=data |
 fieldname2=data2 |
 fieldname3=data3
 }}

Notes:

Replace "TEMPLATE NAME" with the name of the template.
Replace each fieldname (add more if necessary) with each name enclosed in triple curly braces ( {} ).
Replace each data with the text or link you want to put in that field.

Footer Linkboxes

Put these at the bottom of appropriate pages. They'll add a box with links to all boxes in a certain category.

Region Linkboxes

Template:MI Nations -- Malibu Islands nations
You can create your own region linkboxes by using modified code of the above linkbox.

Userboxes

These boxes are for use on user pages. To use them, type {{Babel-x|xx|xx|xx|xx|xx|}}, where x is the number of "xx"s you've used. Each "xx" is the name of the userbox after the "user" part. For example, if the userbox was named Template: User py-1, you'd type "py-1" in place of the xx. For more advanced use, type {{subst:Babel-x|xx|xx|xx|xx|xx|}}. Then, after you save, the source code will change to the code used in the Babel box, so you can make your own userboxes.

Source Code to Make a Userbox

{{Userbox|''leftwriting/code''|''hexcodeleft''|''hexcoderight''|''rightwriting''}} The left writing or code should be a short abbreviation for what the box stands for. The right side is more detailed information.

List of Templates

Languge and Programming Userboxes

So far, there are templates to show that the user speaks/programs in several different languages. To use, replace "xx" in the Babel box with the abbreviation, a typed dash, and then a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 for your skill level: 0 being "not knowing at all" and 4 being "advanced level". For spoken (not programming) languages, use no number at all if you are a native speaker of that language. Do not use a 0 on every program or language you don't know, just on ones that people might think you know but you do not.
