 When working with system messages, you can add <code>?uselang=qqx</code> to the end of the page URL (or <code>&uselang=qqx</code> if the URL already has a question mark), which will show all the messages in use on the page by their name instead of their content.

-Templates are a consistent way to re-use text (or other content) across the wiki, regardless of what page your editing. Every template has a name, some content, and may have parameters, and a template's name is always the name of a wiki page in the <code>Template:</code> namespace. When you add a template to a page, you only need to add its name (and any parameters), and when viewing said page, the template name will be replaced with whatever is on the <code>Template:</code> page the name is pointing to.

-The contents of a template (whatever is on the <code>Template:Template name</code> page) can have special sections of text called a parameter. Parameters are kind of like variables, they can be specified on the page that's using the template, kind of like an input. Parameters usually have their own names, and values. In the VisualEditor the template popup has a textbox for every parameter, while in the Source Editor, parameters can be added like this: <code><nowiki>{{template name|parameter_name = value|another_parameter_name = value}}</nowiki></code>.

+* In the VisualEditor, you can add templates using their own popup menu, in the top-bar at <code>Insert > Templates</code> by searching for the template's name.
-For example, lets look at the `Read more` template: Here, the name of the template is "Read more", it has 1 parameter called "name", and the content is "To read more about the topic, see the {{{name}}} page." If you wanted to use this template on a page, you could do {{Read more | name = Leon}} to generate `To read more about the topic, see the Leon page.`
