This page contains directions for creating a standardized template for the Tub. If you're looking for general information on creating templates, go to Wikipedia's Quick Guide to Templates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_quick_guide_to_templates).

A "generic" template is saved under Template:Sidebar. This template establishes a format and accepts two variables, one for the header and one for the text. You can use this generic template to create new templates that will all have a similar appearance. Here are some examples:

Code	Appearance		Code	Appearance		Code	Appearance
{{Sidebar | Header | Text }}	Header Text		{{Sidebar | Header | * First Point * Second Point * Third Point }}	Header First Point Second Point Third Point		{{Sidebar | Header | * First Point * Second Point * Third Point * Fourth Point * Fifth Point ---- Related Info }}	Header First Point Second Point Third Point Fourth Point Fifth Point Related Info

Note that the page for your new template will be: http://plastictub.vaporslave.com/index.php/Template:NameOfTemplate

For example: http://plastictub.vaporslave.com/index.php/Template:Comics
