Anyone interesting in making a template, I can help.
My first template is a time chart. Type in {{Time nav|x|y}} into the bottem of any year article to produce a last year and next year table.
For example, you do an article on the year 2000, and you want the Time navigation template. Put {{Time nav|1999|2001}} into the end of the article. Then when you read the article it will read...
Last Year: 1999 Next Year: 2001

template for what exactly? :bugeye:
making a year table
New picture frames!
To use it, just use it like a template. For example, say you want a picture on the right, you first type in the template name (in this case 'img.r'), then put the URL of the image. Lastly, you can put a caption in the final slot (if not just put a space instead). It should look something like this...
{{img.r|http://www.sciforums.com/avatars/avatar21822_88.gif|Draqon's avatar}}
On the encyclopedia it will appear as...
NOTE: All of these picture frames act as tables, meaning they will interfere with text (though sometimes it can look good with the text and the image mingled together)
Other codes...
{{img.l|http://www.image.jpg|Caption}} Left image
{{img|http://www.image.jpg|Caption}} Center image
{{img.r|http://www.image.jpg|Caption}} Right image
Non-Table Frames
{{img.f|http://www.image.jpg|Caption}} Left-fixed frame that does not interfere with the text

Thank you for the effort USS Enterprise.
Dim as I am, I have only just discovered the encyclopedia. What is for? The content appears to be, well, non-content, really.
Shouldn't an encyclopedia have informative content, articles, explanations etc., rather than just being an extension of the cesspool?
I would be willing to help build it as a knowledge base, but only if it is intended as such. Someone please explain what's going on here!

Obviously you have not seen:
Encyclopedia Dramatica
uncyclopedia
or all the other "wikis" on the internets
By the way I want to thank draqon for starting my article.

I'm now going to start converting images so that they have frames.
Aside from that junk problem Nick has caused us on the encyclopedia, and our restless reverting.
Finally some good news:
I've just created a quote template on the encyclopedia. To use it, just type in the information as follows.
However, there may be limits just to how much text the 'text' module of the message can hold. I'm checking into that right now...
Also, you cannot use "quotes inside of quotes" on the encyclopedia, the coding will not allow it.

Why do you spend so much time on the Encyclopedia?
OK, yes, you are dumb for not being able to work out how to press the 'Start new thread' button in every sub forum.
Actually technically not stating he was having the problem was "Dumb", but since he's spoken up he can now work out how to do it, it also might be down to the button not showing on his particular browser or maybe even mobile phone. Which means it could have well been a technical issue.
