I added ten oft-used templates to the [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Category:Templates Template category page]. When I went to the page to check the progress, I see it has filled up w/pages that contain the various templates, as well as showing the templates themselves. Before I added the templates, the page looked like [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/File:Orig_category_templates_page.jpg '''this'''].

The category "Templates" has been somehow added to all pages that contain any of the templates that I added to the Template page. An example is [[1930 Essex Coupe IFS]]. I will stop adding any more templates. It seems '''''I can't remove the templates from the individual pages because the category does not appear in the edit screen of the page'''''. I will probably need to remove the templates from the Templates page for the articles to be removed from the Templates page if there is no work around. But I thought this was an odd development.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 17:48, 8 June 2012 (MDT)

As can be seen in the linked-to image above, the category "Templates" has been added to all pages that contain any of the templates that I added to the Category:Templates page. I will stop adding any more templates. It seems I can't remove the templates from the individual pages because the category does not appear in the edit screen of the page.

===Fix===

By using modified text for adding each template to the [[Category:Templates]] page, I am now able to list ''just'' templates without having every page appear on the Category:Templates page that contains that template.
 +
 
 +
The text used to add a template to the Category:Templates page is:
 +
 
 +
'''<nowiki><noinclude>
 +
[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
 +
</noinclude></nowiki>'''

The spam filter settings are preventing me from doing some edits and from creating templates. An example can be seen [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/File:SPAM_FILTER_REJECTION_OF_EDIT.jpg '''here'''], where I was trying to add the Template category to a template. I got the same thing when trying to create an "Attention" template, using the red exclamation point from the Warning template. That spam block is [File:Template spam block.jpg '''here'''].--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 18:14, 8 June 2012 (MDT)

I found that by using only part of the text that appeared in the original template I can now create different templates, using the red exclamation point that was originally used only on the [[Template:Warning]] template. A couple examples of the new templates are: [[Template:Note1]] and [[Template:Attention]]
