TekWiki offers a number of Wiki templates that generate uniform information boxes, headlines, categories and the like.

Please see the individual templates for instructions on their use:

Page skeletons

Template:Company for key data on a company
Components:
- Template:CRT for cathode-ray tubes
- Template:Discrete component for other discrete components
- Template:Vacuum Tube for other vacuum tubes (valves)
- Template:Hybrid IC for hybrid integrated circuits
- Template:Monolithic IC for monolithic integrated circuits
Template:Instrument Sidebar for generic instruments including spectrum analyzers, generators, ...
- Template:Oscilloscope Sidebar specifically for oscilloscopes
- Template:Probe Sidebar specifically for probes
Template:Plugin Sidebar for plug-in modules that go into other equipment
- Template:TM500 specifically for TM500 series plugins
- Template:TM5000 specifically for TM5000 series plugins
Template:Patent for patents related to Tek or Tek equipment
Template:Person for key biographical data on a person

Queries

Template:Designer lists components and products designed by a specified person
Template:Components made by lists components made by a specified manufacturer
Template:Parts lists generic parts such as vacuum tubes used in the referenced instrument
- Template:CRTs lists only CRTs used in the referenced instrument
- Template:Custom ICs lists only Custom ICs used in the referenced instrument
Template:Part usage lists instruments where a specific part is used
Template:Patents lists patents by a specified inventor
Template:People lists people affiliated with a specified company
Template:Plugins lists plugins compatible with the referenced instrument
Template:Products lists products by a specified company

Missing Data

Template:MissingSpecs creates a Specifications headline and "Please add" paragraph, and categorises the page as [[Category:Specifications needed]].
Template:MissingPics creates a Pictures headline and "Please add" paragraph, and categorises the page as [[Category:Image needed]].
Template:BetterPics creates a notice that better pictures are needed, and categorises the page as [[Category:Better image needed]].
Template:MissingBio creates "Please add" paragraph, and categorises the page as [[Category:Biography needed]].

Specifications

Template:Spec (together with Template:BeginSpecs, Template:SpecGroup, Template:EndSpecs) for key specifications on instrument pages

 TekWiki offers a number of '''Wiki templates''' that generate uniform information boxes, headlines, categories and the like.
-Here's how to use some of these.
+Please see the individual templates for instructions on their use:

-The template adds <code><nowiki>[[Category:TM500(0) (class) plugins]]</nowiki></code> to the article, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Category:TM500 multimeter plugins]]</nowiki></code> in the first example above.
-In addition to the sidebar, this template generates a first paragraph as "The '''(mfg) (type)''' is a (function) plug-in for the TM500(0) system.", e.g.
-: The '''Tektronix AM5030''' is a current probe amplifier plug-in for the TM5000 system.
