Contents

This is an annotated list of featured boilerplates. See Category:Boilerplates for a complete, non-annotated list. See WoWWiki:How to edit API pages for development related boilerplates.

While "boilerplates" are arguably "templates", we like to differentiate them somewhat. "Templates" are mostly small snippets that can be used inside pages (see WoWWiki:Templates). "Boilerplates" are full-page models that can be used when creating new pages.


To use a boilerplate
Check the boilerplate page for specific instructions
If none show, edit a boilerplate page and copy & paste its contents to a new page
OR start a new page and pull the boilerplate in with {{subst::boilerplate name}}, save, and then re-edit the page.


Tip of the day: Use ~~~~ and it will be replaced with [[User:<yourname>|<yourname>]] and the date on save!     [ View all ]

Preload types

Game

Help:Ability articles
A boilerplate for spell and ability articles, such as Blink, as well as talented abilities, such as Pyroblast and Mortal Strike.
Help:Achievement articles
A boilerplate for achievement articles, such as  Out With It.
Help:Item articles
This boilerplate mimics the way external databases display objects. Included are many notes in the source code so look in there for help when creating a new item. This can be used for any type of item, like armor, weapons, trade goods, vendor trash, and anything else.
Help:Mob articles
For creating a page for a mob, specifically designed for creeps that can be attack and not NPCs that a player can interact with.
Help:Profession abilities articles
A boilerplate for profession ability articles such as enchantments or transmutes.
Help:Quest articles
Quests are constantly being added and updated. Many quest pages are currently using an incorrect format or an old version of the boilerplate. The thing that sets WoWWiki quest pages apart from those on thottbot and other similar sites is the "details" section, which provides a guide for how to complete the quest. Examples of quests with this boilerplate are: Grimtotem Spying, A Bump in the Road.
Help:Talent articles
A boilerplate for talents which are not also abilities.

UI

Help:API Function articles
A boilerplate for API functions.

Community
