Including these template calls into your article has the following effects:

• {{etystub}} - This stub template is now prohibited. Whenever found, it should be replaced by simply adding [[Category:Etymology stub]] to the bottom of the page. The best thing to do, of course, is to fix the problem of lacking an etymology.

• {{pronstub}} - This stub template is now prohibited. Whenever found, it should be replaced by simply adding [[Category:Pronunciation stub]] to the bottom of the page. The best thing to do, of course, is to fix the problem of lacking a pronunciation key.

• {{rfd}} - includes a nominated for deletion banner. It gives the article a category of Category:Requests for deletion.

• {{rfv}} - includes a requests for verification banner. It gives the article a category of Category:Requests for verification

• {{rfc}} - includes a nominated for cleanup banner. It gives the article Category:Requests for cleanup.

• {{stub}} - marks a page as a stub article. Includes text to indicate that the page is a stub. Not yet sure what else it does / triggers.

• {{RfdProto}} - marks a page as a Protologism article. Includes text to indicate that the page is a Protologism, and that it will be moved to the Appendix:List of protologisms, and the original page deleted. However, this process is not yet "official". See discussion page Wiktionary:Beer parlour/Protologisms

• {{wikify}} - Category:Entries that need to be wikified

• {{webster}} - includes the text "This page has been imported from the 1913 edition of Webster's Dictionary, which is now free of copyright and hence in the public domain. The definitions may be significantly out of date, and more recent senses will be completely missing." And also adds the category code "Webster 1913". This is intended for pages that were brought in mechanically in bulk without any review or editing. The {{webster}} template should be removed once the page is reviewed and brought up to date.

• {{R from misspelling}} - Used for a redirect from a misspelling or typo.

• {{rfdef}} - Used for requesting a definition for a blank article (e.g. when reverting a new vandalism entry, and where you know it is a word, but are momentarily at a loss how to word the definition.)

• {{Rndc}} - Ugly orange warning banner for sticking onto blanked articles, that someone blanked because of copyright violations. Request New Definition due to Copyright violation
