User:Toussaint/How to make generic templates


 * is to embed a current, existing template.
 * is to make a slot for other text to be inserted into the generic template;, for example, would be placed into a generic, basic template like the generic Navbox template to indicate where one would place the header text of the template.
 * is to make a slot for other text to be inserted into a derivative template;, for example, would be used to indicate that something needs to fill the other side of the separator ( "|" ) when the template is embedded, as in.
