Templates are a commands that are used whilst editing a page that call code from a template page. Often this is in the form of a predetermined table/graphic on the final article. Below are discussed the main templates that are used throughout WikiVet.

Under Construction
The under-construction template is the next most important template. This is the first thing that should be written on a newly created page to show that page is still under construction.
If you type {{unfinished}}
The following will appear on the final page:
 |
This article is still under construction. |
Review Required
Once a page has been finished the under construction sign needs to be replaced with a review sign. This indicates to wiki users and admin that the article is finished but has not yet been peer-reviewed.
To create it type {{review}}
The following will appear on the final page:
 |
This article has been peer reviewed but is awaiting expert review. If you would like to help with this, please see more information about expert reviewing. |
No Images
The final template that is used is one that the admin will use to show that the article has been reviewed but just needs some images uploaded to the page. This appears as:
This section has been fully reviewed, but still needs its pictures uploading.Clinical Pages Templates
