/area/template_noopTemplate noop (no operation) is used to skip a turf or area when the template is loaded this allows for template transparency ex. if a ship has gaps in its design, you would use template_noop to fill these in so that when the ship moves z-level, any tiles these gaps land on will not be deleted and replaced with the ships (empty) tiles
/turf/template_noopSee above explanation
