Consult the ED style guide and you will be well on your way to success!
Templates are a kind of wiki-shortcut, to include premade wiki-information for people who are wiki-lazy. Simply type the name of your desired template between double-curly-brackets, such as {{banned}}. You should sprinkle templates liberaly throughout your articles.
Templates are organized and maintained by the Template Czar, who should be contacted if there is a problem, or when a new template is created.
To keep up Encyclopedia Dramatica's quality standards, please follow the basic design used for templates on the site. Always preview your new template to check for design and spelling mistakes. Sub-par or repetitive templates will be baleeted.
There is also a list of Variables used by the MediaWiki software that may come in handy.
Don't abuse the templates. Articles are not made lulzy by spamming the fuck out of the intro with useless templates.
