AboutUsTemplateToolbox
The AboutUs Template Toolbox is a set of templates you can use to minimize HTML and other complex style markup on WikiPages.
Using these simple templates is great for our newer community members, because it lowers the barrier to contributing to great-looking WikiPages.
Please feel free to ask questions about using the templates, and even propose new ones, in the Discussion and Requests sections below.
Contents
The Templates
Basic Info boxes
- Info boxes with headers: AboutUsBasicBox
- Info boxes without headers: AboutUsColoredBox
Fun with Colors
- AboutUsTextColor -- Templates to quickly change the color of text.
- AboutUsColorTemplates -- Templates for Hex Color codes to establish a base-set of web-safe colors called by template.
Tables
- Second set of boxes have been built for multiple columns (with instructions): AboutUsMultiColumnBox (These are designed to eliminate tables like the one found on GamesAndCasino.com)
Image galleries
Discussion
- Before you'd have a bunch of code like the "Did You Know" FAQ box in WebbyPlanet.com or the gallery in Venrock.com. After, you just have a "ProductGallery" or "DomainPageFAQ" template with fields for border color, etc. that cleans up the page. At least that's what I had in mind...

- Please see the first set I've built on AboutUsBasicBox and instructions. The idea isn't to move people to WikiTables, but create simple templates that a novice can use and understand with a minimum of coding. -- TakKendrick | talk

Template Suggestion
Hi Tak, saw the AboutUsBasicBox page, great work. Could you maybe make a template that gives us a vertical image gallery? 22:50, 20 October 2008 (PDT)
