Templates are used within articles to provide a consistent look to the messages placed into them. Changes to the look, wording, or style of the message can be implemented quickly, because templates are rendered for the reader when the article loads.

[edit] Stubs

An Electrospherestub is different from a Wikipedia stub in that facts about Ace Combat are GENERALLY unbiased. Don't add a {{stub}} just to indicate "I'll be back later to finish this". Overuse of stubs skews the Electrosphere statistics and makes the wiki look smaller than it actually is. Remember that in a wiki community, every page can be improved by any other community member, so you don't need stubs for every incomplete article.

Note: this page is unintentionally a member of several categories. Don't worry about this; it's harmless.

Full explanation: this page is not meant to belong in all of these categories. However, some of the templates included by this page contain links to categories in which all pages carrying the template should be. A side effect is that this page is added to all the categories. Additionally, some categories may be listed more than once, if more than one template uses the same category.
