- Formating - A template such as {{Creatures}} which is used to neatly format data in a standardized manor.
- Navigation - A template such as {{Dye Tubs}} that adds an infobox of related pages.
- Utility - A template such as {{clear}} which performs a function to alter the page or insert special code.
