Vertical text - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): {{VerticalTextUp|TextToGoUp}} and {{VerticalTextDown|TextToGoDown}}. In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.

Older news is here.

-* '''Orphans''' - If you look at the list of [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]], we have quite a few - and I have just done a ''lot'' of work reducing the number. If you create a page, ''you'' will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!

+* '''Vertical text''' - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): <nowiki>{{VerticalTextUp|</nowiki>''TextToGoUp''}} and <nowiki>{{VerticalTextDown|</nowiki>''TextToGoDown''}}. In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.
-* '''Expandable navigation boxes''' - For navigation boxes which have gotten too large, there is now a way to hide part of them behind an 'Expand/Collapse' button; see [[Help:Introduction to Templates]], which now contains instructions for both kinds. An example of an expandable one may be seen [[Template:Nav_PDP-11|here]]. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 21:39, 29 December 2023 (CET)
