Tables and general editing
- Became annoyed with seeing text run right up against tables which are right-justified, and so eventually found some guidance. In Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers, Abigail recommends putting style = "margin-left: 0.5em;" in the table header. Now, I'm on a mission ... [03JUL04]
- Now this is a useful link Wikipedia:How to edit a page! [04JUL04]
- And another useful one Wikipedia:Template messages. [13JUL04]
- Template:Lifetime ((lifetime|1838|1900|Tuer, Andrew White)) Some people recommend using subst:, but that destroys the whole purpose of a template. I've saved it just in case Bluemoose takes unilateral action without seeking the wishes of the community. [12DEC05]
[[Category:(({1))} births|(({3))}]] [[Category:(({2))} deaths|(({3))}]]
- Tables: what a pain in the neck. In desperation I went to a formal definition of HTML 4.01, specifically Section 11. Fine, so far as it went, but I couldn't find the really interesting stuff, which is what properties can be specified within style. I'll keep looking (in a desultory fashion). [18JUL04]
- Think about M:EasyTimeline. [30MAR05]
- Wikipedia:Persondata. [22JAN06]

- When using
Category:Human name disambiguationCategory:Lists of ambiguous human names, the format is ((hndis|name=surname, forename)). [15MAR06] Update [11JUL06] - Wikipedia talk:Footnotes/Mixed citations and footnotes. I like this, but it seems confusing. [11JUL06]

[14AUG04] Centring thumbed images in tables takes a lot of doing. The way I achieved it was to create a table within a table, viz.
{| border=1 cellpadding=2 width=350 cellspacing=0 align=right style=margin-left:0.5em;
|+<font size=+1>''' ISS Expedition 10 '''</font>
|-
!colspan=2 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bgcolor=#FFDEAD|Mission Insignia
|-
|colspan=2 align=center|
{|
|[[Image:ISS Expedition 10 Patch.svg|thumb|200px|Expedition 10 insignia]]
|}
