A template on Wikipedia is a page designed for inclusion in other pages. Templates typically contain standardised or repetitive material that needs to appear across multiple articles or pages. (This is meant to be an inspiring quote)

This section is very free-form. Some ideas follow, but they are not compulsory, just suggestions.

This is one very common section; if the topic doesn't have obvious “benefits”, then you can just say something like “why templates” or “what is the point of templates”. You can be creative here. The point is, after explaining what the topic is, it is a good idea to inform readers of why it is important, ideally why it is relevant to the Commons.

The point here is to inform readers what they can do; how they can be involved, etc. Again, this is an optional section, and the title may vary depending on the topic or its context.

(We repeat here the group that this topic belongs to, and add a link to the forum section:) This topic belongs to the section Digital & Media. You can ask questions or add information on the corresponding Forum section.
