Template Guide

As you can probably see, there are several templates that are used here and are not used on the other wikis (like the fan fiction wiki). An explanation will be needed for each, except for:

• Template:Infobox character
• Template:M
• Template:Tn
• Template:D because they already have a doc page. Also not included is Template:NC as it is explained when you use it.

Templates of insertion

These templates will insert a character that you may not be able to find on your keyboard.

Template:APM Indices

This inserts a list of indices for the music of this show, which isn't just APM music as it has stated. It results in

.

Template:Em

This inserts an EM dash. It results in —.

• This character is good for interruptions in episode scripts.

Template:En

This inserts an EN dash. It results in –.

• This character is good for ranges in time or place.

Template:Help

This inserts a well-formatted question mark, for use in infoboxes if I don't know the essentials. It results in ?.

Template:Htg

This template inserts the name and formatting of Pencil 2.O​'s longest episode title. It results in "How to Go on Holiday Back and Forth with Your Rich Boyfriend in the Duration Between Sixteen and Six Hours".

Template:O

This template adds in a space with no appearance. It results in ​.

Template:TBA

This template inserts the name of an episode that has no tentative name yet. It results in "TBA".

Template:Showname

This template adds the name of the show. It results in Pencil 2.O.

Template:Notes

This template inserts a "notes" list at the end of each article. It is required that every page with a "ref" use this. It should not appear here.

Header templates

These appear at the top of pages informing users about certain things.

Template:Profanity

This template warns readers that there is profanity on this page.

Warning! "Wot'n ale's fozz'r'ye doin'?" - Pencil This page contains profanity, like the sentence above. I have created two ways to censor those words, but I've also discovered that on mobile view, they lie uncensored. So please, show some cognoscience about what you may see. If you do have a problem with profanity, please refer to this page § 3.

Template:Real world/Template:Real life

This template signifies that there is a real life link to the real world as opposed to just here.

{{Real world|WEBSITE (must be followed by "here" in '''bold''' letters}}

becomes

Coolio! It seems that this page has a counterpart in the canon! Why not stop by and check WEBSITE (must be followed by "here" in bold letters for more information?

Template:Unf

This describes pages that are unfinished.

Unfinished story ahead! "Tonight we have to avoid completion of things, like, y'know ..." - Pen Finishing an article? This story is not finished, and due to the creator's schedule, it may need waiting. I suggest to all you readers that you be patient or make a suggestion with this story.

Templates for most pages

These templates are useful for many pages relating to whatever.

Template:Cquote

As with other wikis, this template is used to quote characters, so...

{{Cquote|QUOTE
|PERSON|TIME}}

becomes

“	QUOTE	”
	— PERSON, TIME

Note: Please do not forget there has to be two lines, where the second line begins with a pipe | and a character.

Template:Ep

This is for the proper formatting of episodes. For example:

{{ep|EPISODE}}

becomes "EPISODE"

Template:Scene

This template is for scenes in episodes.

{{Scene|PLACE AND/OR TIME|SCENE DESCRIPTION}}

becomes

Template:See

If the main page for your article is too large and needs to be moved, it is recommended that you see the page on the other side of the link.

{{See|MAIN PAGE}}

becomes

So sorry, but if MAIN PAGE were to make a mark on this page, we'd be in danger of filling up too much space! But as this page doesn't exist yet, you have nothing to lose! (Or gain.)

Template:Goto

This template refers to things being put on info pages and readers not reading first.

{{Goto|THIS PAGE}}

becomes

This is the info page for THIS PAGE. You should go there first, because this page will go straight to the details; I'm too lazy to write introductions again.

Template:Ship

This template describes possible ship names for a couple that you would like to see in a relationship.

{{Ship|SHIP NAME}}

becomes

Ship name(s): SHIP NAME.

Template:Epin

This template is used at the beginning of every article transcript. It is the first to follow the parameter format.

{{Epin|name=EPISODE NAME|no=ORDINAL NUMBER|season=SEASON NUMBER|date=DATE OF FIRST AIR|plot=PLOT SUMMARY}}

becomes "Template Guide" is the ORDINAL NUMBER episode of Pencil 2.O, having aired on DATE OF FIRST AIR in the SEASON NUMBER season. In this episode, PLOT SUMMARY.

Template:Newepin

This is the same as Template:Epin, but for new episodes. It also requires less time for typing.

{{Newepin|PLOT SUMMARY}}

becomes "Template Guide" is a new episode of Pencil 2.O, and until recently, there has been neither number nor date associated. In this episode, PLOT SUMMARY

Template:Song

This template is for the proper formatting of songs. Use the <poem> parameter to set the lyrics in lines you can understand.

{{Song|TYPE OF SONG (please use lowercase)|SINGER(S)}}

becomes

TYPE OF SONG (please use lowercase)
Vocalist(s): SINGER(S)

Template:Ori

This template describes the changes between an original version of an episode, such as Mob Buddies, and the version that is on the wiki.

{{Ori|PLOT EVENT}}

becomes In the original script: PLOT EVENT

Dialogue templates

Template:Acc

This template usually translates words in English accents that are hard to understand, such as Pencil's. The way to organise this is as follows:

{{Acc|WORDS IN PROPER ENGLISH|TRANSLATION INTO THE ACCENT}}

becomes TRANSLATION INTO THE ACCENT

Template:Cen

This template censors words, and is an alternative to Template:Cen2 for words at do cause harm. Take warning, as they are not censored on mobile versions of episodes.

{{Cen|SWEAR WORD}}

becomes SWEAR WORD

Template:Cen2

This is for the censorship of minor swear words. As before, it does not show up on mobile.

{{Cen2|SWEAR WORD}}

becomes SWEAR WORD

Template:Lang-m/Template:Lang2

This template is used for the translation of words that can be understood by most people.

{{Lang-m|LANGUAGE|WORD|TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH}}

becomes WORD

Template:Font

This template quickly determines the font of the text involved.

{{Font|Times New Roman|TEXT}}

becomes TEXT

Template:Lang/Template:Lref

Both are the exact same thing, but I use the former. Anyways, this template is used for the translation of passages you may find hard to understand. It must be inserted by a reference for some reason. So...

{{Lref|LANGUAGE|TRANSLATION}}

becomes (LANGUAGE) "TRANSLATION"

Note: Some languages from Before BFDI on the Fanfiction Wiki have abbreviations.

Abb.	Language
Ch., Cn.	Chinese
DS	Distorted Swahili
Fr.	French
Ge., Ger.	German
It.	Italian
Ja., Jp., Jpn.	Japanese
Kor.	Korean
Lat.	Latin
Pl., Pol.	Polish
Pt.	Portuguese
Sp.	Spanish
Sw.	Swahili
TJTE	Engrish
Vn.	Yiddish

Of the languages that do not have abbreviations but a cameo appearance include Arabic, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Cantonese, Catalan, Dutch, Greek, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Javanese, Norwegian, Swiss German, Thai and Yiddish.

Template:Rainbow

I suppose you can use this as some special censor, since I did not get the formatting of this right.

{{Rainbow|CENSORED WORD}}

becomes CENSORED WORD

Template:Duo

This is for two people talking at once.

{{Duo|FIRST PART|SECOND PART}}

becomes [ FIRST PART · SECOND PART ]
