Template index
From eTripTips Wiki
The MediaWiki software used to run Wikitravel offers the capability to automatically generate sophisticated HTML using templates. Templates should be discussed before being created or modified. The list below shows most of the templates that are currently available, alongside brief explanations of how and where to use them. You may prefer a straightforward list of 'all pages in the 'Template' namespace'
