When you use the RichText Editor, any templates/magic words/anything in  shows up as a small green puzzlepiece icon. If you click on them, you get a popup that lets you interact with them depending on what they are. The editor isnt perfect, and there are some minor known cases where its hard to click to put the text cursor around it. To edit the raw text of the, click the "view source" button in the editor on the right side. If you are dealing with a wiki that uses a very complex templates on its pages, you may want to disable the editor in your preferences.

 * Thanks for that info/tip Ubefuzzy - I never use the RTE so had not seen the puzzle pieces. I turned it off immediately after launch as it would not let me use basic wiki code for links and heading, as it added too many extra key / mouse strokes for even basic editing IMO. - BulldozerD11 15:03, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
