This wiki offers a couple of templates that help maintain a consistent style, categorization and automatic linking through semantic information. If you want a new page to be a ''Tool'' page, the minimum information you need to add is the categorization as a tool. All other templates are optional, though we strongly encourage using them to improve findability. | This wiki offers a couple of templates that help maintain a consistent style, categorization and automatic linking through semantic information.

You can change the categorization of a page by removing any existing infobox/footer templates and category tags from a page and instead replace with (at least) the tool tag as specified above. This will put the page in the tool category and remove it from the other categories. | You can change the categorization of a page by removing any existing infobox/footer templates and category tags from a page and instead replace with (at least) the tool tag as specified above.
