== How you can help ==
Making templates is easy! Just create a page in the [[GCPEDIA:Template namespace|template namespace]]. Most of the templates below rely on a "meta" template called {{tl|ambox}}. Instructions on building templates can be found at [[Help:Templates]].
Have you made a template and want to include it here? Please demonstrate your template on the [[Help talk:Notice templates|discussion page]] for feedback and if it is useful for all GCpedians it can go on this page.
