 A template is a way to give a kind of scaffolding — in this case, suggesting the elements that we think work well in a page. It helps both writers and readers:

+  * for writers, it gives a good idea of how to structure a page;
   * for readers, it gives more consistency, so they know what to expect and therefore can read and understand more easily.
-Templates are useful guides, but are not written in stone. They can be changed when needed, though to maintain consistency and readability, we want these to be changed by agreement rather than by individuals. Individuals can always change any page they create or edit in any case, so they don't need to change the templates.

 Here are outlines of the page templates we either have or are working on.
