=== Citation ===

Citation is important because it allows the wiki to demonstrate that a statement is true and beyond dispute. Articles with statements lacking citations run the risk of becoming disputed, and this is often more complicated than providing a good citation in the first instance.

Consider first what you are citing in order to decide which template is most appropriate.

; Books: {{tl|Cite book}} for citing print products (novels or sourcebooks)—in general, you can use <code><nowiki>{{Cite book/Name of book|page number}}</nowiki></code>—see [[:Category:Citation templates]] for a huge list. Most of the novels and sourcebooks should already have their own template. If not, you might have to create one or [[PathfinderWiki:Administrators|request]] that one is created for you.
; Web sites: {{tl|Cite web}} for citing a website. Individual web pages are rarely cited often enough to justify a subtemplate.

=== Informational boxes (infoboxes) ===

{{See also|Help:Infoboxes}}

Infoboxes concisely summarize common elements among related articles.

==== Real-world pages ====

* {{tl|Accessory}} for a non-book accessory product.
* {{tl|Infobox/Book}} for an article about an adventure, sourcebook, or novel.
* {{tl|Map}} for an article about a map product.
* {{tl|Miniatures}} for an article about a tabletop miniature product.

==== In-setting pages ====

{{Columns-list|

* {{tl|City}} for any settlement from the smallest hamlet to the most immense metropolis.

* {{tl|Cosmos}} for a cosmological entity, such as a planet, moon or star.
* {{tl|Creature}} or {{tl|Creature tabbed}} for a creature.
* {{tl|Deity}} for articles on deities (use this template for both 1E and 2E stats).
* {{tl|Hellknight Orders}} for Hellknight orders.

=== Navigational templates (navboxes) ===

{{Main|Help:Navboxes}}

: ''See [[:Category:Navboxes]] for a list of available navbox templates.''

Navboxes provide a means for navigating between related articles, such as a nation's settlements, a creature's species, or products within a product line.

==== Successionbox ====

Another type of navigational template is a '''successionbox''' designed to link successive lineages, such as for heads of state. The basic form is here: {{Tl|Successionbox}};
but see [[:Category:Navigational templates]] for a list of available pre-made successionbox templates.

=== Chronology ===

* {{tl|Yearbox}} is for allowing quick navigation from one year to nearby years.
* {{tl|Yearbox/deaths}}, {{tl|Yearbox/in-politics}}, {{tl|Yearbox/migrations}}, etc. are all templates to divide an article about events in a certain year into obvious sections by topic.
