Template markup

This cheatsheet does not tell anything about templates. I think that it should at least tell the basics about template markups. Such as:

Description

Including a template.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ➜Gƒoley Four (GSV) 19:06, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's with all the misplaced posts recently??

What's going on? This page must be linked from some new user page somewhere.. why are so many people posting new articles here all of a sudden? -- œ ^™ 03:50, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MediaWiki:Welcomecreation tests - version 5 has a slightly questionable link to the Cheatsheet. Rd232 ^talk 15:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh yes, that would be it then. I've noticed an increase in reverted new user edits at Wikipedia talk:FAQ‎ as well, which also is linked from there. -- œ ^™ 22:18, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 76.95.42.166, 14 March 2011 Ted Lange remarried, wife, Mary Ann Lange, Married August 18, 2001

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. This request is in the wrong place, but I looked at Ted Lange, and it doesn't say anything about not being married (divorced), so I don't understand how he could be remarried.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because I find it quite helpful looking up specific syntax for editing my lab's wiki website. If this cheatsheet doesn't have it, the links at the bottom lead to pages that do!
