Templates producing specialised formatting effects for given templates, modules or parameters
Code example	Effect	Notes
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }} </syntaxhighlight>	{{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }}	Same as above
`<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}</syntaxhighlight>`	`{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}`	Same as above
`{{tl2\|Hatnote\|lang=fr}}`	`{{hatnote}}`	Supports linking to sister projects (e.g., fr:Hatnote)
`{{demo\|<nowiki>{{Hatnote\|Some text}}</nowiki>}}`	{{hatnote\|Some text}}	Shows code and example
`{{tln\|Hatnote}}`	Template:Hatnote	Produces a normal link to the template
`{{elc\|Template:Example}}` `{{elc\|Template:Example\|Text\|suffix}}`	`[[Template:Example]]` `[[Template:Example\|Text]]suffix`	Shows how wikilink would be entered in wiki markup, with optional link text and suffix
`{{ml\|Example\|hello}}`	{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}	Counterpart to {{tl}} for linking to Lua modules
`{{mfl\|Example\|hello}}`	{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}	Similar to {{ml}}, but expects the function to be documented and creates a link to the corresponding section
`{{mlx\|Example\|hello}}`	`{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}`	Counterpart to {{tlx}} for linking to Lua modules
`{{ml-lua\|Module:Example}}`	`require('Module:Example')`	Link to Lua modules and built-in libraries, showing Lua code.
`{{para\|title\|<var>book title</var>}}`	`\|title=book title`	Formats template parameters for display, with or without values
`{{para2\|title\|<var>book title</var>}}`	`\|title=book title`	Formats template parameters for display similar to `<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">...</syntaxhighlight>`, with or without values
`{{sclx\|LASTING}}`	`[[WP:LASTING]]`	Takes a shortcut suffix in project namespace and displays it with brackets and the WP: alias in a `<code>...</code>` tag.
`{{tag\|ref}}` `{{xtag\|templatedata}}`	`<ref>...</ref>` `<templatedata>`	Formats [X]HTML tags; can add content, choose opening, closing, or self-closing
`{{dtl\|Ping project}}`	{{d:Ping project}}	Wikidata counterpart to {{tl}}
`{{mwl\|#if}}` `{{mwl\|#if\|{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}`	{{#if}} {{#if:{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}	Magic word links
`{{pf\|if}}` `{{pf\|if\|{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}`	{{#if}} {{#if:{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}	Parser function equivalent to {{tl}}
