*'''[[Template:age]]''', for automatically displaying a character's current age so you don't have to update their pages each year just for their birthdays. For instance, {{n|Ayelet|Kadosh}} was born on SD 235308.18. | |||
**Old Way: Edit the page every year just for her birthday. | |||
**'''<small>NEW WAY</small>:''' <nowiki>{{age|2353|8|18}}</nowiki> will show her current age as of today's stardate: {{age|2353|8|18}}. You can also specify a second date to calculate the number of years between them. [[Template:age|Check out the template]] to find out more, and remember: no leading zeros for months or days when using this template! | |||

See that image on the side? | |||
===Section 2=== | |||
What if I want this text/section below it instead? | |||
<br style="clear:both;" /> | |||
Insert the following: '''<nowiki><br style="clear:both;" /></nowiki>''' before the text or section in question. | |||
For instance, this: | |||
:<nowiki>===Section 1===</nowiki> | |||
:<nowiki>[[File:PHASER-type33A1-individual.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Type 33A1 CQC/SOSAR Phaser Rifle]]</nowiki> | |||
:<nowiki>See that image on the side?</nowiki> | |||
:<nowiki><br style="clear:both;" /></nowiki> | |||
:<nowiki>===Section 2===</nowiki> | |||
:<nowiki>Now it's always above section 2.</nowiki> | |||
gives you this: | |||
===Section 1=== | |||

See that image on the side? | |||
<br style="clear:both;" /> | |||
===Section 2=== | |||
Now it's always above section 2. | |||
