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{{NameOfTemplate}} or {{Template:NameOfTemplate}}).

Here are some examples:

Notes

For those who care, these directions utilize 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.
