The following is a list of many of the templates All The Tropes uses to simplify and streamline the process of creating pages. Whenever the template is in blue text, that means it is a live link to the template or its documentation page, which should provide more information about what it does and how to use it. This is, by the way, only a small subset of all the templates available on the wiki; in addition to others we've created, we have also imported a couple thousand more from Wikipedia.

Be aware that template names are case-sensitive: <code><nowiki>{{Work Needs Tropes}}</nowiki></code> if you use <code><nowiki>{{work needs tropes}}</nowiki></code> are not the same template and may do different things. The only exception is, as is standard throughout MediaWiki, the first letter, which can be upper or lower case: <code><nowiki>{{Trope}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{trope}}</nowiki></code> both point at the same template. Pay attention to how the templates are capitalized on this page and you should be okay.
