Hi everyone! I've noticed on some pages, people are using Template:! when they don't need to. Please keep in mind that if you don't need to use the piping template, then don't, it's usually only needed if the coding is clashing with the wiki markup, otherwise just using wiki markup should work fine. Try testing wiki markup before resorting to the template (by using the preview button). Most wikis have template limits, and once you go over them, any page with Template:! on it is going to break and be sorted into a bad category via MediaWiki, it also goops up the servers and causes a very heavy load. Of course, if our wiki (Docs) has no template limits, this doesn't really matter, but using a template when you don't need to still causes a lot of unnecessary load. *Try wiki markup first, use work-around templates second.*
