Hello, I am Borderman, just a regular user of the Miraheze community, using their services to create this site, The Lonsdale Battalion, of which I am the administrator.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns I can be contacted in the following ways:

Lonsdale Battalion on this day... Ongoing and continually updating.
Lonsdale Battalion history. Self-explanatory but haven't worked on this for a long while.

Templates I use regularly

The following templates are used on a regular basis through the site. These are seen primarily on article pages that require the use of infoboxes, mapping, internal and external links, references, and various types of formatting to enhance the body of text, plus many more. Most of these simple template have been created by myself. There may be some templates copied from other wikis with the same Creative Commons licence.

Poppy photos for soldiers without main image

The following poppy images can be used on the soldier remembrance pages where there is no image of the soldier. The single poppy represents the soldier that fell and is remembered with this flower of peace.

+==Templates I use regularly==
-==Reference templates==
+The following templates are used on a regular basis through the site. These are seen primarily on article pages that require the use of infoboxes, mapping, internal and external links, references, and various types of formatting to enhance the body of text, plus many more. Most of these simple template have been created by myself. There may be some templates copied from other wikis with the same Creative Commons licence.
-These are used primarily on [[Lonsdale Battalion on this day...]] but will now be introducing them to [[:Category:Index of places| index pages]]. Not all pages will require all three templates. Most may only use the <code><nowiki>{{acks}}</nowiki></code> (acknowledgements) template, others may require a combination of two or all three, particularly if there are additional notes or references to be included.
-*[[Template:Notes]] <code><nowiki>{{notes}}</nowiki></code>
-*[[Template:Refs]] <code><nowiki>{{refs}}</nowiki></code>
-*[[Template:Acks]] <code><nowiki>{{acks}}</nowiki></code> (Acknowledgements)

-===Reference syntax for notes===
+ | subtitle = Templates used regularly on different projects
-Currently, there three main syntaxes for notes. These are used with the <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template. The above template ([[Template:Notes]]) includes all three variations so if any of these are used, they will be displayed.
+ | title    = Main projects: [[Lonsdale Battalion Roll of Honour|Roll of Honour]] / [[Lonsdale Battalion on this day...|On this day]] / [[Lonsdale Battalion history|Lonsdale history]] / [[Lonsdale Battalion war diary|War diary]] / [[:Category:Compendium|Compendium <sup>(new)</sup>]]

+ | label1   = Remembrance pages
-With the above in mind adding the following syntax within the text will provide the subsequent renderings for each version. It doesn't matter which version is used providing they remain consistent on each page.

-*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="note">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="note">This is the note that renders the whole word note 1, note 2, note 3.</ref>
-*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="n">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="n">This is the note that renders the abbreviated version of "note" as n 1, n 2, n 3.</ref>
-*Syntax used is <code><nowiki><ref group="lower-alpha">..note goes here...</ref></nowiki></code> which renders as <ref group="lower-alpha">This is the note that renders letters of the alphabet</ref> and this <ref group="lower-alpha">The more notes there are the more letters are rendered: a, b, c, d, e, f, etc.</ref>

-So, not strictly infoboxes any more after being redesigned, however, these templates do make extensive use of tables.
