*Ok, I'm really only learning that things I think I know aren't really so. I'm trying to figure out infoboxes (think they qualify as templates), but every time I copy code from MediaWiki or Wikipedia's Help, the box is not...boxed and on the right. I'm pretty much at an impasse. If you have any hints on this, then I can start moving forward again. I'll keep looking, but any help you provide would be much appreciated.

Revision as of 11:16, 24 September 2006
- Nic, I have some basic experience as an editor at wikipedia.com, but am far from being an expert. Do you know how to create the Tables of Content that appear on longer articles? TOCs are extremely helpful in navigating. Revanche 10:13, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
- Belay my last: it is created automatically, apparently, when enough sections have been added. Revanche 12:00, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yep -- you can also supress it by __NOTOC__, force it with __FORCETOC__, and put it in a specific place with __TOC__. The Help:Magic_words section shows others as well. Nicjansma 14:45, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
- Excellent info. I've learned so much just trying to add to these pages...much more than I have at Wikipedia. I'm working on learning templates now. Revanche 23:21, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

- Also, you of all editors (admins?) here need a viable user page. You've got a great start on the main page, where you detail your efforts for the BT community. Revanche 10:13, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
- Agreed, thanks for pointing that out! Nicjansma 14:45, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
- Feedback: I like the new two-jump pictures for each of the planets. Tres cool. What's the source? Revanche 00:12, 18 September 2006 (CDT)
