'''Help:Template''' will one day provide help for using templates on [[electowiki]]. As of right now, we just point you to [[wikipedia:Help:Template]]

Sometimes, it's nice to be able to get the wikitext generated from a template, without actually embedding the template. A good example of this is for [[Template:US-State]]. This template can be used to make the pages for all 50 US States, and [[Washington D.C.]], and [[Puerto Rico]], and [[Guam]]....and well, you get the idea. So the first step is to do this
<code><nowiki>
{{US-State|name=Washington D.C.|region=Eastern}}
</nowiki></code>
But the problem with that is that it generates the following:
'''Washington D.C.''' is a state in the United States of America
Well, even though that ''should'' be the case, it's not yet (in June 2020). So what [[User:RobLa]] did when he made the [[Washington D.C.]] article was first created it with this:
<code><nowiki>
{{subst:US-State|name=Washington D.C.|region=Eastern}}
</nowiki></code>
...and then he edited it. The result is at this URL: https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Washington_D.C.&oldid=11916

Below is a list of all of the templates on this wiki. There are a lot of them. We probably need to delete a few.
