# Editing Template Tags

 * Is it possible to edit the Template Tag functions themselves? I’m having a bit
   of trouble with adding a link under the wp_list_pages function; if I manage to
   add a link, it messes with the way the function displays. So I’m beginning to
   wonder if it’d be best to tinker with the function itself.
 * That’s two questions, I suppose:
 * 1. Is it possible to edit the Template Tags, and if so where are they located?
 * 2. Is it possible to add a link under the wp_list_pages function without messing
   up the structure? (I’ve tried given code in other threads, however they too mess
   with the structure when added, in spite of others claiming to have success with
   them.)
 * Thanks!

 * 1) In the wp-includes folder you can find many php files. Look at the ones postfixed
   with “-template”, for example, you can find the template functions of the categories
   in the category-template.php and so on.
 * 2) Try to make a backup of the original files or make a copy of the original 
   function in the file and then modify it and put the original one into comments.
