Wikipedia:Find templates
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community. |
The following lists ways of hunting or finding templates of Wikipedia markup-language (or markup macros)[1] by searching for related words. Also note that the word "template" has another connotation, mainly used by Wikipedia system admins, as a verb to refer to issuing a canned message to users, based on putting templates on user talk-pages.
In general, any template of the form {{xyzz}} is stored under page name "Template:Xyzz".

The introduction to templates is: Help:Template.
Search by related words or phrases
English Wikipedia has an extensive word-search index of all templates, to allow a wiki-search, similar to googling (as with Google Search, Yahoo! Search, Bing.com, Dogpile.com, etc.). For example, to search for the word "string" within any templates (or template names):
- Search templates for "string" - matches string handling, stringed instruments, string theory, etc.
After an initial search, then the search word(s) can be changed to re-run the search, with different words.
Groups of related templates
- String handling: {{Strlen quick}}, {{Strfind short}}, {{Strloc insert}}, or see full list: {{String-handling templates}}
- Flags: {{Flag}}, {{Flagicon}}, {{Flags of Europe}} (articles), or list index of names (more than 130): prefixindex "flag...".
- Word formatting: {{nowrap}}, {{Word-stub}}, or list of names with prefixindex "word...".
- Information-box templates (infoboxes): {{infobox}}, {{Infobox settlement}}, {{Infobox musician}}, {{Infobox musician awards}}, or list names of prefixindex "infobox..." (over 10,100 templates).
- Navigation templates (navboxes): {{navbox}}, {{Year nav}} (for each year article), {{Navbox musical artist}}, or names with prefixindex "navbox...".
- Mapping templates: {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, or names with prefixindex "map..." or with prefixindex "location...".

Notes
- ^ For many decades, the term "macro" has been used to denote a group of formatting directives, used to control computerized typesetting. However, Wikipedia has used the word "template" instead of "macro" for that purpose.
