The main one
I stole this tool box from Esprit15d, a useful set of links to templates often used on WP.

Quick links
Another stolen toolbox (from Kudpung), this time links to the most common Wikipedia tools and boards.

Message boxes
This is a list of the various templates used to post messages on WP:

You can learn how to customize these templates by following the links to their individual pages.

Discussions
When there is a discussion on articles for such things as merge proposals or RfC's, at the end of the discussion you should close it with the following templates:

discussion top

This is a closed and archived discussion.

discussion bottom

Shortcuts
On WikiProject and Portal pages, you often need to establish a quick way to jump to the page without typing a long name on the search field. So instead of typing WikiProject Food and drink, all you would need to type is WP:Food or WP:Drink; this is done by creating a redirect page. Once the shortcut has been created, you can put the shortcut template on the Project or Portal talk page.

Look on the right side of the section for an example →

Columns
There are several ways to create columns on pages without going into wiki-code. Here are several templates that can be used to do this:

Col-begin and its helpers col-break and col-end are one way of creating columns. They are formatted like this:



This text appears in the first column.

This text appears in the second column.

This text appears in the third column.

Will produce:

This text appears in the first column.

This text appears in the second column.

This text appears in the third column.

Columns-list is rather simple method of creating columns of bulleted lists. It is formatted like this:

 • This text appears in the first column.

• This text appears in the second column.

• This text appears in the third column. Will produce:

• This text appears in the first column.

• This text appears in the second column.

• This text appears in the third column. You can vary the number of columns by changing the number after the first pipe (|).

Div col is one way of creating columns of bulleted lists. It is formatted like this:




 * This text appears in the first column.
 * This text appears in the second column.
 * This text appears in the third column.

Will produce:


 * This text appears in the first column.
 * This text appears in the second column.
 * This text appears in the third column.

You can vary the number of columns by changing the number after the pipe (|).

Multicol and its helpers multicol-break and multicol-end are another way of creating columns. They are formatted like this: 

This text appears in the first column.

This text appears in the second column.

This text appears in the third column.

Will produce:

This text appears in the first column.

This text appears in the second column.

This text appears in the third column.
