__TOC__

Place the table of contents here.

MSG:

A template modifier, i.e. {{msg:stub}} shows

{{Stub}}

---

The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if [[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]] contained "Test", then {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "December" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".

SUBST:

A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. {{subst:template}}) with the content of the template.

e.g. {{subst:stub}} copies the {{stub}} contents below to the article, without using the template.

This article is a stub. You can help Wikimedia by expanding it.

SUSBT: can be helpful to avoid the overuse of meta-templates.

MSGNW:

A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.

So <pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre> outputs:

---

{{msgnw:stub}}

---

__END__

Allows for trailing whitespace to be deliberately included in the page save.

[[Image:ImageName.jpg|right|Mediawiki]]

left

GRAMMAR:

Useful for inflected languages to derive word forms. Usage: {{grammar:case|word}}, cases in which this could be used depend on the specific language.
