# Meta-Templates A list of the templates in use. Apart from templates for predefined notes like [[Meta-Categories types and entities|category-based]] notes, I follow a modular approach - a note is built from blocks that can be appended to each other via modal-template insertion using [[Obsidian-Templater]]. >[!TIP] >Insert a template block via the command `Templater: Open insert template modal`and pick a template or use a [[Obsidian-Hotkeys|hotkey]] to insert a block at cursor position. The hotkey is `Alt+e` However some some notes are created more frequently using the same metadata. These are created from a full template instead of modular blocks: - [[t2b1 obsidian-plugin]] - [[t2c1 fleeting]] - [[t3a1 daily]] - [[t4a1 hub-entities]] - [[t4a2 hub-types]] - [[t4a3 hub-categories]] - [[t5a1 session]] >[!IMPORTANT] >Remember to update these, if the template [[t1a1 metadata-general]] changes ## Style conventions - Template directories get the icon `Copy` - Templates files get the icon `Copy plus` ## General templates - [[t1a1 metadata-general]]: A block of general metadata used in every note-type - [[t1a3 about]]: A starter block for the `about:` field - [[t1a4 meta-entry-link]]: A single metadata—link-entry - [[t1b1 footer]]: Bottom section of a note - pointing to related information or notes - [[t1b2 footer see]]: Entry for a related note - [[t1c1 changelog-starter]]: Initial changelog block with current date - [[t1c2 changelog-entry]]: Initial changelog block with current date - [[t1c2 changelog-entry]]: An single entry for the changelog ## Templates for predefined note-categories - [[t2b1 obsidian-plugin]] is a combination of multiple block for a Obsidian plugin note. Uses: - A pre-filled [[t1a1 metadata-general]] block - A pre-filled [[t1b1 footer]] block - [[t1c1 changelog-starter]] - [[t3a1 daily]]: The daily note template - [[t4a1 hub-entities]]: A template for an entity-hub. Uses: - A pre-filled [[t1a1 metadata-general]] block - A pre-filled [[t1b1 footer]] block - [[t1c1 changelog-starter]] - [[t4a2 hub-types]]: A template for a type-hub. Uses: - A pre-filled [[t1a1 metadata-general]] block - A pre-filled [[t1b1 footer]] block - [[t1c1 changelog-starter]] - [[t4a3 hub-categories]]: A template for a category-hub. Uses: - A pre-filled [[t1a1 metadata-general]] block - A pre-filled [[t1b1 footer]] block - [[t1c1 changelog-starter]] ## TTRPG-specific templates - [[t5a1 session]]: For jotting down things during a TTRPG session --- ## Related - **previous** [[Meta]] - **see** [[Meta-Categories types and entities]] for all categories in use - **see** [[Obsidian-Hotkeys]] for the hotkeys in use - **see** [[Obsidian-Templater]] on how the templates are applied - **see** [[Obsidian-Iconic]] for the usage of icons in this vault ## Sources - **references** none ## Usage - **used in** none --- ## Changelog - [[2026-06-07]]: Initial creation
