Help:Templates
Templates are a class of special pages on the MediaWiki engine (on which War Thunder Wiki also works) whose contents can be displayed on any other page using only a short code to insert a template. In this case, the contents of the template will be displayed on another page only in the form in which it is recorded in the template itself.
