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).

How To

  1. Go to the page where your template will be saved (i.e., http://plastictub.vaporslave.com/index.php/Template:NameOfTemplate).
  2. Paste in some code from one of the examples below. Alter your Header, text, bullet points, etc.
  3. Once you've created your template, you can stick in other pages (i.e., add the code Template:NameOfTemplate or Template:NameOfTemplate).

Here are some examples:

Example # 1
