Editing Help:Template (section)

===Coding a template===
Anything that can be included on a normal page or article can be included on a template, including other templates (called ''{{dfn|subtemplates}}''). Templates often make use of programming features—parameters, parser functions, and other [[Help:Magic words|magic words]]—which allow the transcluded content to vary depending on context. There are also special tags to control which information is transcluded and which is not.

==== Metatemplates ====
Various [[Help:Metatemplating|metatemplates]] and metamodules exist to help accomplish common template tasks. They are called like normal templates and [[Help:Modules|modules]], but they serve a purpose that makes writing templates easier. See {{Cl|Wikipedia metatemplates}} and {{Cl|Template metamodules}} for a list of those templates and modules.
