The help pages for templates are not very helpful.
Instinctively, and by looking at examples, I sort of know the above, but I've never seen a help page that clearly explains how to use templates and parser functions, let alone how to construct tables (more a WYSIWYG problem). Maybe I've been looking at the wrong pages, but if there are pages that clearly teach people how to construct templates and tables, I'd really like to be pointed at them.

Tables are an issue yes. I don't do much with templates but when I've wanted to use ParserFunctions I've either copied and pasted or worked from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ParserFunctions
On the other hand the formal help page is a complete mess:
