Templates exist in a special '''''Template:''''' namespace, much like this article exists in the '''''NeoDex:''''' namespace. This sets it apart from an actual article. If you want to link to a template, then you do so as you would any wikilink by enclosing ''Template:'' followed by the name of the article in double square brackets. | Templates exist in a special '''''Template:''''' namespace, much like this article exists in the '''''NeoDex:''''' namespace.

These templates appear at the top of an article to denote something about it's status, rather than to provide any information about the subject of the article or what collections of articles it is involved in. | These templates appear at the top of an article to denote something about it's status, rather than to provide any information about the subject of the article or what collections of articles it is involved in. | ||

The second variable is the location of the character's opponent pic, preferably uploaded onto the NeoDex. The third is the character's difficult rating, the forth the number of HP they start with, the fifth the increment of the number of HP per win, the sixth the name of the first item that can be stolen from the character, and ''7'' the location of where the challenger is found. A URL link should be included if possible - the reason that the variable name is stated in this case is so that URLs can include equals signs without breaking. In the case of an automatic challenger, the phrase ''Automatic Challenger'' should be used instead. | The second variable is the location of the character's opponent pic, preferably uploaded onto the NeoDex.

In this template, the ''GameImage'' variable should hold the name of the Click-to-Play image of the game in question, uploaded to the NeoDex. The double square brackets and the namespace ''Image:'' is not needed.

The ''GameID'' variable should hold the identification number of a game. On the game's URL, this is the number at the end, after ''?game_id=''.

Finally, the ''Ratio'' variable should be filled with the [[NP]] to point ratio, that is, how many Neopoints 100 game points earns. This is no longer displayed on a game page, but often existing game articles retain it from before the Game Room revamp. If all else fails, this can be found from comparing a selection of scores to Neopoints given. Note that this should not just be done with one set of point score and Neopoints, as rounding takes place. | Finally, the ''Ratio'' variable should be filled with the [[NP]] to point ratio, that is, how many Neopoints 100 game points earns.

The majority of the variables in this template work like their counterparts in the Infobox Game template above. The additions are: the ''RetiredGame'' variable, where the name of the retired game is entered (this is not drawn automatically as frequently information on retired games should be included with their successor); the ''GG_Y/N'' variable, which should hold "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether the game is available in the [[Game Graveyard]] or not; and the ''Replacement'' variable, which should hold the name of its successor, if applicable, "N/A", if not. | The majority of the variables in this template work like their counterparts in the Infobox Game template above.

These templates are used for when a certain section of text appears on multiple pages with some variations, such as names, for denoting a specific event or characteristic the character or object was involved in or possesses. These help ensure that the pages remain consistent. | These templates are used for when a certain section of text appears on multiple pages with some variations, such as names, for denoting a specific event or characteristic the character or object was involved in or possesses.
