These tables were generated at http://www.wikisign.org using the 20.02.2006 dump of the database, which is somewhat out of date. See also:

[edit] Meta-templates

This table shows the 200 templates which are most linked to by other templates. In most cases this will be because one template has another template transcluded inside it. Note that some of these templates are already protected (see also Wikipedia:List of permanently protected pages#High use templates).
