The MediaWiki software used by NFSUnlimited has support for templates. This means standardized text chunks (such as boilerplate text) can be inserted into articles. For example, typing {{stub}}
will appear as "This article is a stub. Feel free to contribute." when the page is saved. A template reference call must be included in two sets of curly brackets ({) and may contain other parameters. Here's some info on the other templates in use by NFSUnlimited.

This Article Is A Stub
A stub is an article that either contains no information but exists, or containts too little information. One line is too little information. To mark an article as a stub, use {{stub}}
. This is what will appear on the page.

Page In Use/Under Edit
Use this template when you want to edit a page for a long time and don't want someone else editing at the same time. As a common courtesy, when this template is on a page a user should refrain from editing the page. Also as common courtesy, you should remove this template once you're done editing.
To use, just add {{inuse}}
at the top of the article you want to work on. If you want to reserve it for a specific length of time and optionally, a message, use {{inuse|time (message)}}
. If you want to reserve it until a certain time, or use a different custom message without the word "for," use {{inuse||for=|until (time)}}
or {{inuse||for=|custom message}}
.
