Latest revision as of 15:53, 25 August 2024

This is a visual guide to templates that are either rarely used or underused. Sometimes these are underused with good reason, but usually they've just been neglected due to lack of awareness.

If you know what you're doing, some of these templates could definitely use some {{work}}; feel free to mess about with them in your userspace if you think you can do better.

Determining the rarity

If "what links here" < 100 then rare, else not rare.

See the main article (ED:T) for more information on templates.

Underused templates
What you type... ...and what is displayed... Description

{{Alcoholic}}

This person is a fierce alcoholic

You can help by sending them pamphlets and donating your liver.

Primarily for personal use or among friends. Use {{drugfriend}} where more appropriate.

{{bancakes}}

This user was given a nice hot stack of

BANCAKES
You can help by clearing their table and used thanking their server.


A friendly alternative to other ban templates.

{{bidness}}

WARNING:

This article contains SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.
You can help by minimizing the life-ruining effects.

{{cease}}

CEASE and DESIST
CEASE and DESIST

NIGGER
or you're gonna get
BANNED
 STOP

Vibrant alternative to

STOP.
doing whatever

{{cp}}

This user uploads child pornography.

You can help by reporting their IP address to the FBI
KEWL KIDS ONLY! Click used here you lazy bastards.

To be used only when someone has actually attempted to upload child pornography. Similar to {{kidporn}} and {{pedo}}, both of which probably apply to anyone who is marked with this template.

{{denial}}

This is America Beware!:
This user is a <insert crap here> in denial who doesn't understand that Encyclopedia Dramatica is a satirical wiki, and cannot come to terms with themselves. You can help ED by reverting every single edit.

Much less-frequently used alternative to {{satire}}. ED is satire. Users very frequently don't get this.

{{disappointed}}

Excuse me Templates/rarely used,

I saw what you did there and just wanted to say:
"Do you mind? We have standards here."

The polar opposite of {{like}} and roughly the opposite of {{approve}}. Use as a gentle way to inform users that they need to not do certain things like add strikeouts, vandalize the pages of important people, etc.

{{drugfriend}}

Warning! This contributor is a drug fiend

you can help by not pissing this person off when he's on a bender...or when they're in withdrawal...in short, NEVAR piss this person off!

Popular among friends, use {{alcoholic}} when more appropiate.

{{Furry/Welcome}}

Furries have been a source of much humor on this site, but as a furry you must understand:

  • We are a humor and satire site. Would a supermarket tabloid try to make furries look good?
  • The depiction of a furry as someone who just likes nonsexual anthromorphic comics and kiddie costumes is boring.
  • The depiction of a furry who is into lots of freaky sex related to furry fandom and likes sexual-looking animal costumes is more interesting.
  • The depiction of a furry who is into lots of freaky sex related to furry fandom while going around claiming they just like nonsexual anthromorphic comics as well as starting huge flame wars and making lots of drama to cover it up (e.g. ContiE) is even more interesting.
  • Someone who the fandom is embarrassed of like WolfJLupus, Ebon Lupus, Shadowfox, and CigarSkunk is also entertaining to read about.
  • We don't spread Furluminati propaganda here.
  • Two kind of furries are not allowed here: those who yiff and those who whine about other people's generalizations about the fandom.
  • ED currently has a don't ask, don't tell policy on yiffing.

Furries are encouraged to spread lulz about furries on this website.


Plenty of furries with potential for lulz-generation come to ED. Don't be an asshole; {{welcome}} them with this template.

{{hateapes}}

I HATE every APE I see, from CHIMPAN-A to CHIMPAN-Z (But what I hate even more is your crappy article about something.)

Good for expressing personal butthurt or letting a user know that their article was tagged with {{crap}} or {{shit}} due to fail. Probably underused because it isn't that funny.

{{help}}

HAI 2 U

Gosh, you sure seem enthusiastic, but it looks like you haven't gotten the hang of ED quite yet. But fear not! The other editors are always sometimes happy to help you out, whether it be by showing you the ropes of wiki-markup or giving you style tips. Feel free to ask by leaving a note on their talk page! Don't suffer in silence!
REMEMBER, YOU'RE THE VICTIM!!!11

Great template to use for users who make large or detailed editions to an article that, while well-intentioned, end up violating ED's guidelines.

{{inside}}

This article is an inside joke.
You can fix it by totally defacing, defaming and defecating on it.

There are some terrible inside jokes on ED. Some are alright, but others are simply bad. This is currently only used on a few pages, so make sure to use only where appropriate.

{{Internet Jail}}

Warning! This contributor is a troll and has been sentenced to 2 years in Internet jail.

You can help by trolling Dangerdan harder while he's away.

Currently used on only two pages on ED, possibly for good reason. If not used more often in the very near future, this template will surely go the way of the buffalo.

{{kidporn}}

This user is a pedophile who came to ED for kiddie porn.
You can help him by shoving a needle into his urethra and slitting his throat.
You can help ED by reverting all of his contributions and not giving him any kiddie porn, kthxplz.

Use this or {{pedo}} either on your own page (fucking sicko), a known pedo's page, or on the pages of the likely-permabanned users who tried to upload CP as a warning to other pedophiles. Either this template or {{cp}} are more appropriate for the lattermost.

{{learnyourplace}}

ST00PID N00B!! Hey there!
We're glad you decided to join the ED crew, it's always good to have another editor. However, you're making a common mistake by {{{1}}}. It's not a big deal, a lot of new people make the same mistake, but it is something we generally try to discourage. If you want some tips on improvement, try reading your welcome message again (It's got a lot of useful links), reading more articles to get the feel of ED, and reading the Style Guide for help. If you have a question, try asking an admin or the person who left you this message for help.

A friendly template with a very unfriendly name. Use as an alternative to

HAI 2 U

Gosh, you sure seem enthusiastic, but it looks like you haven't gotten the hang of ED quite yet. But fear not! The other editors are always sometimes happy to help you out, whether it be by showing you the ropes of wiki-markup or giving you style tips. Feel free to ask by leaving a note on their talk page! Don't suffer in silence!
REMEMBER, YOU'RE THE VICTIM!!!11

or to inform a noob that doing something stupid like fucking with Sysops/established editors is a Very Bad Idea.

{{niggerlover}}

This user is a niggerlover.


This user is a fagtastic niggerlover and isn't afraid to show it. Please show your appreciation in one of the following ways:

You are a niggerlover: Share your fond memories of slurping nigger dick on this user's talk page.
You are a nigger: Drop your pants and violate this user's mouth and/or anus.
You hate niggers: Share your cogent, rational viewpoint on this user's talk page.

More of a joke template among friends rather than a banned-user vandalism template, unless they are really asking for it.

{{pedo}}

This faggot waits for the child to make the first move in a sexual situation.
You can help by contacting Federal Authorities and alerting Chris Hansen.

Use this or {{kidporn}} either on your own page (fucking sicko), a known pedo's page, or on the pages of the likely-permabanned users who tried to upload CP as a warning to other would-be pedophiles. This is more appropriate for the former two. Quite appropriate for pages such as "Mrpedophile"'s talk page.

{{stopnow}}

HEY FUCKTARD!
Templates/rarely used, you are being a stupid cunt! You need to stop now.
Keep it up and you gonna get raped.

{{tname}}

{{tname}}

Easy way to displays the name of a template without having to use <nowiki> or [[:Template:whatever|whatever]]. Use as {{tname|whatever}}. (Ironically, we are not using it in this article)

{{underage}}

Underage B&
This user is under 18.
 Meaning they will likely plaster strikethroughs, memes, niggers, faggots, and other overused unfunny bullshit around Encyclopedia Dramatica. You can help by cleaning up after them.

Use on your own page or on the page of someone who this really makes sense for.

{{userpotential}}

Hey! This user hasn't edited much, but they show great potential.
You can help fit them for a top-notch pair of lollerskates by providing constructive crisisim on their edits and vandalizing the user pages of unhelpful assholes.
See this user on RC? Want to help them? Sign in then, dumbass!

Denotes a new user that has great potential. This template is based off and lightly parodizes the article template {{potential}}. This template was created in May 2009 and inspired by one user's early impression of a recent addition to the ED community.

{{wikifail}}

WIKI MOTHERFUCKER, CAN YOU USE IT? ATTENTION!
Templates/rarely used has no understanding of wiki markup. You can help cleaning up after them and then adding {{dummies}} to their talkpage.



Someone who consistently breaks pages by fucking up wiki-markup code earns this template on their user or talk page.

{{wikify}}

Hello! This article is about as appealing as Goatse. Plz Wikify this Article by adding categories, thumbnail images, links to other articles (relevant ones), appropriate templates, and correct wiki formatting. You can check out the Style Guide for more information or jump on #Wiki if you need help editing.

Use on articles that have some potential but currently amount to little more than blocks of copy-pasted text.

{{ytplus}}

Gangnam Style


 
“ 		 
oppuh gangnam style
  		„
 

Produces an embedded YouTube video with a title and trailing quotation. Extremely useful and extremely underutilized. Usage: {{ytplus|Title|<youtube>-viDe_0</youtube>|Quotation|Quote author (optional) |Quote source (optional)}}

Unused

See Special:UnusedTemplates. These are usually unused for a reason -- don't add these unless you know what you're doing. Seriously.
