Templates are shortcuts placed within sets of double curly brackets to perform various functions throughout Wikisource.  As you proofread and edit texts in Wikisource, you can use templates to aid in formatting, navigation, and and a variety of other tasks.

==Common Templates==
Below are a selection of templates that are used throughout Wikisource.
===Formatting Templates===
Formatting templates are used to change the way that text displays when being read.

====Size templates====
{{Help:Font size templates}}

====General formatting====
{| style="border;none; text-align:left; width:100%"
|- style="background:#E6F2FF; padding:0.3em; text-align:center;"
|'''Template'''
|'''You type'''
|'''You get'''
|style="width:20em"|'''Notes'''
|-
|{{tl|center}} or {{tl|c}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{center|Centred}}</nowiki></tt>
|{{center|Centred}}
|-
|{{tl|right}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{right|Right aligned}}</nowiki></tt>
|{{right|Right aligned}}
|-
|{{tl|underline}}, {{tl|u}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{underline|Underlined text}}</nowiki></tt>
|{{underline|Underlined text}}
|-
|{{tl|greyed}}, {{tl|red}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{greyed|grey text}}, {{red|red text}}</nowiki></tt>
|{{greyed|grey text}}, {{red|red text}}
|-
|{{tl|Small-caps}} or {{tl|sc}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{Small-caps|Make this sentence use small caps}}.</nowiki></tt>
|{{Small-caps|Make this sentence use small caps}}.
|-
|{{tl|RunningHeader}} or {{tl|rh}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{RunningHeader|Left text|Center text|Right text}}</nowiki></tt>
|{{RunningHeader|Left text|Center text|Right text}}
|This often used in the Page [[H:NS|namespace]], in the [[H:HEADER|header field]].
|-
|{{tl|gap}}
|text with a{{tlx|gap|5em}}gap!
|text with a{{gap|5em}}gap!
|-
|{{tl|hanging indent inherit}}, {{tl|hii}}
|<tt><nowiki>{{hii}}Text{{div end}}</nowiki></tt>
|colspan=2|{{hii}}This text is indented with a hanging indent of 2em, but you can pass other parameters. The first parameter is how far the whole block is indented, the second is how far the first line overhangs. For example <nowiki>{{hii|2|0}}</nowiki> gives a simple indented block.{{div end}}
|}

====Column formatting====
<section begin="column formatting"/>
<!--this section is transcluded to the template docs' See Also sections - make sure it makes sense there as well-->
* {{tl|multicol}}, {{tl|multicol-break}}, {{tl|multicol-section}}, {{tl|multicol-end}}, this template uses a table to create multiple columns of text. You need to place the breaks explicitly, but they will never move.
* {{tl|div col}}, {{tl|div col end}}, which uses CSS3 properies to create columns dynamically. The reader's browser will choose where best to put the breaks, so the layout cannot be guaranteed not to change. This one is good for lists, as you don't need to worry about placing {{tl|multicol-break}}s.
<section end="column formatting"/>

===Navigation Templates===
<section begin="navigation templates"/><!--Used for transclusion to TOC template doc pages-->
Navigation templates are used to help a reader navigate through or between texts.
{| style="border;none; text-align:left; width:100%"

|{{AuxTOC|

|Used when the work does ''not'' include an original Table of Contents.
|-
| {{tl|TOC begin}},<Br> {{tl|TOC end}} and <br>all <nowiki>{{TOC row....}}</nowiki>'s

==Article-Specific templates==

Some templates are designed for specific articles in Wikisource.  They can be found in [[:Category:Specific article templates]].

==Housekeeping templates==

Some templates are not designed for "inline" use in a work, but are used to keep track of incomplete works or flag missing information.

===Tracking progress===

<!--This section is transcluded into template help pages as a see-also section-->
<section begin="progress templates"/><!--this section is transcluded onto the template pages in the "See Also" section-->* {{tl|incomplete}} marks a work as incomplete. It generally means that some parts of the work are not available on Wikisource in any form, either as text content or page scans. If possible, use a more specific template like those below.
* {{tl|OCR-errors}} when the work contains OCR errors and/or page breaks and ''does not'' have a page scan.
* {{tl|Transcluded OCR errors}} when the work contains OCR errors from a transcluded page scan.
* {{tl|Split}} when the work needs to be split up into sections or chapters.
* {{tl|Split-multiple}} when a page such as a collection of snippets needs to be split into various different works. 
* {{tl|Numbers}} when the work contains page breaks from the original work, but not other OCR errors.
* {{tl|Refs}} when the work has references in the text which should be converted to the [[H:REF|Wiki ref format]]
* {{tl|Standardise}} when the work is complete, but doesn't conform with the [[WS:STYLE|style guidelines]]
* {{tl|Clean up djvu}} when the work has OCR errors, or hasn't been proofread, and ''does'' have a page scan
* {{tl|Migrate to djvu}} when the work is ostensibly complete, but needs to be migrated to an existing page scan
* {{tl|Translation}} for rating the progress of a [[WS:TRANS|Wikisource translation]].<section end="progress templates"/>

===Missing data===

<!--This section is transcluded into template help pages as a see-also section-->
<section begin="missing-data"/>
* {{tl|Initials}} when an Author page name contains unknown initials
* {{tl|Image}} when an image in a work is missing
* {{tl|No header}} a page is missing the {{tl|header}} template. All [[H:NS|main namespace]] pages and subpages need this template.
* {{tl|No license}} a work is missing a licence. One should be found and added, otherwise the work may be listed for deletion.
* {{tl|No source}} a work is missing the source document. All works should have a link to the original work, which may be in the form of a local page scan or an external Internet address.
* {{tl|New license required}} when there is no valid licence template for the work, but it is believed to be free.<section end="missing-data"/>

===Questionable works=== 

<!--This section is transcluded into template help pages as a see-also section-->
<section begin="questionable works"/>
* {{tl|Copyvio}} when a work is a suspected copyright violation. If used, the offending page ''must'' be listed at [[WS:CV]].
* {{tl|Fidelity}} when the work's source document is of questionable quality or origin
* {{tl|Authenticity}} when the work may be a fake or a hoax.<section end="questionable works"/>

==Licensing==

===OTRS===
<section begin="otrs"/>
* [[Commons:OTRS]] where you can find general information on email writing and sending, as well as general information about the OTRS system.
* {{tl|OTRS received}}, for use when a ticket is received, but not confirmed due to a problem. Further correspondence may be required. Changed to {{tl|OTRS pending}} or {{tl|PermissionOTRS}} upon resolution of the problem.
* {{tl|OTRS pending}}, for use when the ticket is in order, but still in the queue. Changed to {{tl|PermissionOTRS}} when confirmed.
* {{tl|PermissionOTRS}}, when the ticket is received and confirmed.
* {{tl|OTRS ticket}}, for easy linking to OTRS ticket numbers.
<section end="otrs"/>

===Unblock requests===
<section begin="unblock requests"/>
*{{tl|Unblock}}
*{{tl|Unblock reviewed}}
