The MediaWiki software used to run Wikitravel offers the capability to automatically generate sophisticated HTML using templates. Templates are faster than typing manually, and keep common messages uniform across the site. New templates should be discussed before being created or modified.

The list below shows most of the templates that are currently available, alongside brief explanations of how and where to use them, or you can see a complete list of all pages in the Template namespace.

Here Tibet is used as a synonym for the Tibetan Autonomous Region (T.A.R.) of China not the historic Tibet in existance prior to the Chinese takeover. This is not a political statement. The strict restrictions on freedom of movement put on foreigners, sharply divides the T.A.R from ethnically Tibetan areas that form a geographic and cultural continuation of Tibet to the east of the T.A.R..

{{warningbox|warning}} Used to call out information that is vital to a traveler's safety, such as recent damage from a natural disaster, political instability, or some other serious condition. Warning boxes should be sparingly used and placed either at the top of an article or within the article section that is related to the warning.

WARNING: The effects of Hurricane Katrina severely damaged parts of New Orleans at the end of August, 2005, and it expected to take many months for the city to return to normality. As of Spring 2006, most services in the main travel centers (French Quarter, Central Business District, Garden District, and Faubourg Marigny) are back to normal; however, be prepared for contingencies if you're traveling outside the city center.
