Help:Useful Templates
The wiki has some useful things to cut out formats within the page. To use each template, surround the template code with {{ }}
, or use the Insert > Template function on the Visual Editor.
- This page does not cover Infobox templates. Refer to Category:InfoBoxes instead.
Errors
Stub
This article is a MinecraftOnline Wiki stub, and may be in need of expansion. Consider using one of the infobox templates if appropriate: building, settlement, organisation, warp. |
Use this template when:
- The page is incomplete
- The page needs further information
Place {{stub}} on top of the page or on a section that is incomplete. Wiki editors are recommended to fill in known information as much as possible.
Spelling
This article has been flagged as having poor spelling, grammar or general presentation. Please improve it. |
Use this template when the article has poor grammar.
Dubious
A [dubious] tag can be placed right next to a word or unknown fact without proper evidence. Such information should be double-checked.
Unconfirmed
An [unconfirmed] tag can be placed next to a word or unknown fact that has no evidence and needs to be double-checked.
POV
This page is representative of a single player's point of view, and might not reflect official server policy or attitudes. |
When an article or a section is filled with biased, single-person-viewed information, it can be marked as an article from a single person’s POV (Point of View). Such sections should be rewritten to third-person viewed information or be deleted as a whole. In some cases, those pages may risk deletion for vandalism or irrelevance of the wiki.
- Single-person viewed writing is default in User pages or discussions in Talk pages, and as such, this template should not be used there, even if another user has written some parts of the page.
Image
- Not to be confused with the image function that is MediaWiki’s default feature
Pages with no image on the infobox (specifically those with image404.png) have a message next to them. Wiki editors can provide the necessary images for these pages.
In other cases when an image is of poor quality and needs improvement, the {{Image}} template is used. Place better images in replacement (or update the original file).
Page decoration

Map
A useful template to display an in-game map without uploading files to the wiki. Map data is directly fetched from the server.
Maplink
This template functions similarly to the one in the infobox building/settlement. Fill in the required information and it will generate a map link.
User
To create a link to this page’s creator, use {{user|rhyzofan}}. Either the player name or UUID will work.
AliasedUser
You can also have a different display name with the same type of template.
Togglebox is a fancy way of making header and body text. What you put in header
will directly be the section header.
