-There are certain elements that you can include in the body of your page and it will be updated automatically. These items are generally contained in squiggly brackets. For example, typing <pre><nowiki>{{FreekBox Specs}}</nowiki></pre> gives you a pretty box with all of the current FreekBox specifications, which automatically changes as we adjust the specs.
+Templates are elements created on special Template pages that you can include in the body of a regular page. If the template is edited, it will automatically change across all of its instances. The syntax for templates is the name contained within squiggly brackets. For example, typing <pre><nowiki>{{FreekBox Specs}}</nowiki></pre> gives you a nice box with all of the current FreekBox specifications, which automatically changes as we adjust the specs.
-Other handy includes are <pre><nowiki>{{Draft}}</nowiki></pre> which is generally placed at the top of a page to indicate that it is a work-in-progress, and <pre><nowiki>{{Delete}}</nowiki></pre> which is generally placed at the top of a page to indicate that it should probably be removed.

 ====More Formatting====
 To use more advanced formatting methods, such as using a table like [[Receiving Training Checklist#Checklist|this]], I recommend finding a page with that particular formatting and checking out the source (hit "edit" if you are logged in or "view source" if you are not). Copy and paste the formatting into your page and change the content to suit your needs! If you want to do some practice runs of more advanced formatting, you can try it out in the [[Sandbox]] or on the "discussion" section of a page (link at the top of each page).

 Let's create an external link. We try not to do this too often, but sometimes it is important.
 : To link to a website like the [http://www.freegeek.org/ Free Geek website], use single brackets and type the URL followed by the words you'd like to appear, like this: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.freegeek.org/ Free Geek website]</nowiki></pre>
