Ed, Edd n Eddy:Template guidelines

As templates can often be fairly complex and depend on various external factors, this page outlines some guidelines for inclusion on Wikia Templates.

Code

 * Templates should be self contained, and avoid calling other templates (unless absolutely necessary).
 * Templates which include CSS calls in their design should mention so. Generally it's best avoided, unless the CSS classes exist as standard.
 * Use images sparingly.

Usage

 * Templates should have usage and modification instructions.
 * Templates should aim to be easy to read and understand even without usage instructions.

Inputs

 * Don't try and make the most extensible template ever: don't make everything a variable for the user to provide. e.g. alignment of boxes: just pick an alignment and hard-code it, or make it the default choice.

Layout
