Using templates
Useful examples include Template:Document status for editorial status, Template:Character Panel for characters, Template:Incomplete for missing content, and Template:Collapsible section for optional supplementary notes. Read their documentation and preview before saving. See Help:Editing guide and Help:Document status.
Editing shared components
Template and Form pages require template-edit, normally supplied by maintainer or sysop. This includes the TemplateStyles CSS subpages used by these components. Lua Module pages require editinterface, normally supplied by interface-admin or sysop. Other MediaWiki interface or site-code restrictions are described in Echoes of the Flesh:Access levels. Creating pages also requires the page-creation right.
Before changing a shared component, check where it is used. Additional individual/cascading protection may apply, especially to homepage components. Use TemplateSandbox to preview a real article with unsaved template or Lua code. Test missing parameters, category effects and mobile layout before saving. Follow the established Citizen styling.
