	~~== Types of templates ==~~

	~~There are effectively two types of templates that need to be created:~~

	~~=== Transcluded ===~~
	First, we have transcluded templates are those that help in navigation, organization, categorization, and tagging. They are designed to maintain uniform look and format across the entire wiki. These will constitute the bulk of the work. Things like,
	* [[Template:Main]]:
	~~{{main\|Maemowiki Action Group}}~~
	* [[Template:100Days agenda]]:
	~~{{100Days agenda}}~~
	* [[Template:Community]]:
	~~{{Community}}~~

	~~=== Substituted ===~~
	Second, we have substituted templates, which are those that provide skeletal frameworks for certain types of pages. These will include things like the Close-source justification page, and open-source petition page.

	For example, an early version of such a template is [[Template:Plan metadata]] (see [[User:jaffa/Sandbox]] for example usage). One thing to note is that nice, clean CSS classes like "wikitable" do not seem to be present in maemowiki at the moment.
