These templates should be inserted at the top of every article.

Page management
Edit
Example: Page management template This is an example for the look of a page management template. |
Page management templates are used if you notice that something is out of order with a certain page or section and want to bring it to the attention of other editors or administrators. They display a box describing the issue and add the page to the appropriate maintenance category.
These templates should generally be placed at the very top of a page unless you only want to mark a section for "treatment"; then they should be at the top of that section. The exceptions to this rule are:
- {{stub}}, which should be at the bottom of a page.
- {{section}}, which should be inserted in the place of the missing section.
All of these templates can be used with two unnamed parameters:
- The first unnamed parameter can be used for specifying the game(s) an editor needs to own/be knowledgeable about in order to resolve the issue (see {{abb}} for valid inputs).
- The second unnamed parameter can be used for describing the issue in more detail.
