Template:Minimal

Due to the sensitive nature of this template or the fact that it is used on a large number of pages, it has been semi-protected to prevent site-wide damage by vandal bots. Editors: In order to minimize the impact on our servers, please use sandboxes to make and test changes to widely used templates before deployment. For more information, please see this article's talk page.

Summary

Pages will be categorized based on namespace and, if specified, type (e.g., Category:Online-Empty Pages or Category:Online-Empty NPC Pages).
