Hmm, well Template:CD_Infobox is one of the most used around here. Though it would probably look a bit duller over there since so often the singles/albums don't have covers to go with them.

One I think could be useful is Template:ArtistTemplateTemplate. After we started making artist templates to put at the bottom of pages that were based on the same repeated format, I made ArtistTemplateTemplate to help make setting those up simpler. Now for the major groups they've been replaced with something altogether fancier and more complicated, but here you can see the many group/soloist templates that still use this.

Template:YearCategoryNav is good for categories that begin with a year. Add it to the category description, and it will add links to the neighboring years, as well as a decade forward/back for navigating big distances. Category:2006_Singles, for an arbitrary example of it in use.

One that's got a really specific use but is handy when needed is Template:Lowercase_title. By default Wikia will start every page with a capital letter, so you use this on pages where the first letter is supposed to be lowercase, like v-u-den or aMa no Jaku.
