This page provides an '''index of [[Help:Template|templates]]''' used within Wikipedia, many of which convey ''messages''; they are grouped into topic-specific headings. For information on what templates are, and how the template namespace is intended to be used, see [[WP:Template namespace]]. For information on template use and development, see [[Help:Template]]. For the project team looking after templates on Wikipedia, see [[WP:WikiProject Templates]].

For navigation templates rather than notices, see [[WP:Navigation templates]]. For stub templates (used to flag articles as incomplete and needing significant expansion), see [[WP:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]]. For some examples of message templates, see [[WP:Template index/Examples]]. For examples of combined message boxes, see [[Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup/Verifiability and sources#Combined message boxes|WP:Template index/Cleanup/Verifiability and sources § Combined message boxes]].

==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 still cannot find the template you need, you can request it on [[Wikipedia:Requested templates]]. For help on creating templates, see [[Help:Template]] or contact a user who has identified themself as an [[:Category:User template coder|adept template coder]]. Note that in order to maintain consistent design of templates, there have been significant discussions about a variety of templates at both [[Template talk:Ambox]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Talk page templates]].

A more comprehensive category system may also be viewed at [[:Category:Wikipedia templates]].

===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 or not you can make the improvements easily, thus eliminating the need for a tag.

==Search==
As an alternative to using this index, you can search the Template namespace using the box below:
<inputbox>
type=fulltext
width=40
namespaces=Template**
searchbuttonlabel=Search
bgcolor=#ffffff
break=no
placeholder=Search templates
</inputbox>

You can also search Wikipedia:Template messages in the box below:

<inputbox>
type=fulltext
width=40
prefix=Wikipedia:Template messages
searchbuttonlabel=Search
break=no
placeholder=Search Wikipedia:Template messages
</inputbox>

{{-}}

==Article-related namespace==
''Please list '''navigational templates''' (as, for example, between pages relating to a specific topic) at [[Wikipedia:Navigation template]] or at the appropriate [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] page.''
