What is a Wikipedia template?
A template is a piece of text stored on a dedicated page and then inserted into articles using special markup. This method allows editors to change information in one place and have it update across hundreds of articles. Common templates include infoboxes, navigation boxes, status indicators, and small formatting elements such as flags or name abbreviations.
Meaning of the abbreviation CIS
The Commonwealth of Independent States brought together a number of states that had previously been Soviet republics. Relations among members are based on economic, security, and political cooperation agreements rather than federal structures. Membership and levels of participation have varied over time, with some countries leaving or suspending participation in the organization's activities.
