User blog:92garfield/Tutorial on creating Templates

I found it relatively hard to find an explanation on how to create a template and Leia -    零亜のレサンテョスイア™  said it would be nice if I made a blog about this.

Introduction
The only thing I expect you to know before reading this is how to edit pages in general using existing templates, including such that need parameters as.

I'll add exercises into the tutorial, I don't care if you think they are useful or anything, but don't complain you diddn't understand shit unless you did every single one at the point you were supposed to do it.

Creating a Template page
A template page is created as any other page, you can create them on your sandbox for testing purposes. However when creating templates for public use, you should prefix it with "Template:" so it looks like Template:Pending_for_test but can be used as. In the most simple template, the text on the template page replaces the so it shows as.

Exercise
Create a sandbox page similar to my "SomeTemplate" and use it in an other sandbox, as I did here.
