Templates usually contain repetitive material that might need to show up on several wiki pages. They are commonly used for boilerplate messages, standard warnings or notices, infoboxes, navigational boxes and similar purposes. Wiki generates a dynamic list of the [[Special:MostLinkedTemplates|most frequently used templates]] on Wiki, and the user community maintains an inventory of [[Help:Notice templates|notice templates]] that go at the top of articles, [[UBX|userboxes]] which are used on user pages, and a general index of [[GCPEDIA:Template inventory|other templates]].
