<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Use of templates==<br />
The Cantr wiki uses a number of templates to make editing easier.<br />
<br />
===Infoboxes===<br />
Infoboxes are small tables that allow you to take all the information about an item and display it in a single chunk. Categories will be generated automatically - please do not add category tags to an article that uses infoboxes. Use infoboxes whenever possible - copy the format of another page of the same type as the page you are writing.<br />
<br />
===Choice templates===<br />
Cantr has many cases where several tools, machines or semi-finished products are used in the same way - for example, if the manufacturing menu says a hammer is required to make something, the [[stone hammer]] will substitute. For these cases, "choice templates" exist that will generate the full list of interchangeable objects. For example, use <nowiki>{{hammer}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[hammer]]</nowiki> to generate the text {{hammer}}.<br />
<br />
===Tags===<br />
Pages missing important information, pages in need of reformatting, pages under major reformatting, and certain other types of pages should be marked using tags, such as <nowiki>{{rewrite}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{construction}}</nowiki>.</div>Sho
