Example: Page management template

This is an example for the look of a page management template.

Page management templates are used if something is out of order with a certain article or section. If the issue affects the whole article, these boxes should be placed at the very top of an article. If only a section is affected, they should be placed just below the headline of the respective section. The exceptions to this rule are:

{{Stub}}, placed at the bottom of a page.
{{section}}, placed in the missing section under the subheader.
{{verify}}, placed directly behind the fact needing verification.

These templates are used to improve the navigation and structure of Nukapedia.

Navboxes

Navboxes are used to ease navigation between a certain group of articles. They should be inserted in all articles of that group at the very bottom of an article, just above the categories. Exception to this rule are sidebars, these should inserted close to the top of an article.

New navboxes can be constructed with {{Navbox}}. For a list of existing navboxes, please see Category:Navbox templates.

Source templates

Source templates are added to the top of an article, just below the infobox. The purpose is to make the reader aware of the presented information's source whether it be cut content, to inform of a source's canonicity or that it is a spoiler in cases of upcoming games, content, or updates. These templates can also be used to surround sections of a larger article by utilizing begin and end parameters, for example with behind the scenes sections, placing {{behind the scenes}} and {{behind the scenes|end}} around the section.
