This Category contains a list of useful Templates on the wiki. Please see the individual Template page for documentation on their individual usage.
Page Formatting Templates
These should be some of the most commonly used templates, they are not designed to be transcluded in pages. These templates are intended for users to copy and paste the source code when creating a new page. Their purpose is to establish and demonstrate the format for a page.
Contact
- Template:Contact
- This is the basic template to be used when creating new run contacts. It is specially designed for ease of use.
- Template:AdvancedContact
- An older version of the above. This version makes use of Template:Infobox directly, allowing more flexibility. For advanced users who wish to change something up from the default.
Player Character
Run AAR
Faction
- Template:Faction
- This page is the template to be used when creating new Faction pages.
Host
Location
Metaplot
- Template:Metaplot
- This page is a suggested template for the creation of new metaplot pages. Due to the nature of metaplots being so vastly different, this template may not necessarily work perfectly with every metaplot. As such, it should be altered as necessary when creating the page and explaining the metaplot.
News
- Template:News
- This page is a suggested starting point for news articles; however, due to the freeform style of creating news articles, it is mostly just pointing to Template:NewsHeader.
CharacterPortal
Common Templates
These are templates intended to be used on some of the pages created above.
Character Page Templates

ContactTable
HasContact
- Template:HasContact

GroupContactTable
GroupContact
CDP
- Template:CDP
- This template will count the number of times your runner has been tagged in an AAR since CDP was introduced into the Haven on December 11, 2019. It will multiply that number by 2 and allow you to add or subtract additional points from that number in order to keep track of your CDP on your character page.
Age
- Template:Age
- This template takes the character's date of birth and compares it to today's date, outputting their current age. Also useful for Contact pages.
