|42px]]  | BPDFamily.com is currently experiencing mental health issues, which may affect their Wikipedia editing in various ways. They may have difficulty with:
Usage[edit source]To use the Template:Them, editors simply include the code Template loop detected: Template:Them at the appropriate place in the article. This will automatically insert the standardized text or formatting defined in the template. Customization[edit source]While the Template:Them provides a standard format, it can often be customized to better fit the specific needs of an article. This is typically done through the use of parameters, which are defined in the template code and can be adjusted in each individual use of the template. Benefits[edit source]The use of templates like Template:Them offers several benefits. It helps to maintain consistency across articles, making it easier for readers to navigate and understand the content. It also simplifies the editing process, as editors can insert a large amount of standardized text or formatting with a single line of code. Limitations[edit source]Despite their benefits, templates also have some limitations. They can be complex to create and edit, particularly for those unfamiliar with mediawiki code. They can also make the source code of an article more difficult to read and understand. See also[edit source]
