Templates are a way of coding Elfpack so that by typing a simple capitalised letter code into a wiki, it automatically replaces it with whatever you want
First you must set up a template wiki (dots for example) for the shortcuts to be taken from. This is just a normal wiki.
The template wiki must be set out with the code you wish to use, a colon, and then whatever you wish it to be replaced with. Text, tags, images, it all works.
