On the Wiki, people often use terminology that's exclusive to wiki-oriented spaces, this glossary is intended to be a collection of their meanings. If you are confused by any term, feel free to ask on the talk page for an explanation and it will be added to the glossary afterwards. If you have any terms you were confused by when starting to edit, but have since learned what they mean, feel free to add them yourself.

Commonly-found templates
{{item link}}&{{item name}}- Two templates used for automatic translations of the names of items. Item link also automatically adds a link.
- subst
- Short for substitute, used in front of templates. Pastes the text of the template, rather than keeping it linked to the template. Any changes made to the template will not affect substituted versions of the template. See here for more information.
{{common string}}- A template used to automatically translate common words/phrases, such as section names (gallery, trivia, update history), map names (Upward, 2Fort, Junction), weapon slot names (primary, secondary, melee), and many more. Uses the dictionary; for a full list see this page.
