== Understanding templates and page templates ==
In this wiki, there are two types of templates: "'''Templates"''' and '''"Page Templates"'''.

Templates are content elements that can be inserted on a page (similar to text "snippets" or macros). Changes to templates will be applied to all pages that use the template. 

Page templates, on the other hand, are selected before creating a new page. They provide the new page with a predefined content. This provides the page editor with  a structure for the new page. However, this structure serves more as a guideline, since it can be changed by anyone who subsequently edits the page. Changes to a page template will not affect pages that have originally been created with this page template.
