Templates are used to give standard messages on Pages. Templates are called using these brackets {{template name}}. There are many purposes for using templates. They can be to convey or format messages to the reader of the Page, they can be used to facilitate navigation, or they can be used to convey messages or to flag pages to the editors.

On IMSMA Wiki, a navbox is a template that lists at least several pages that are related. The relationship between all the pages in a single navbox is such that the reader of the current page will be readily referred to other related material with a single link. The goal is to have a navbox in every page (bottom).
