An '''edge template''' is a [[pattern]] which guarantees a [[connection]] to the [[edge]].

Here is an example of a [[Third row edge templates|third-row edge template]] ([[template IIIa]], also known as the ''Ziggurat''):

<hexboard size="3x4"
  visible="area(a3,d3,d1,c1)"
  edges="bottom"
  coords="none"
  contents="R c1"
/>

The red stone has a certain connection to the bottom, using only the shaded hexagons, even if Blue moves first.

Countless edge templates can be constructed, all of them of varying degrees of usefulness and frequency of occurence.
