*'''[[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!

==Clearing Floating Elements (Hard Line Breaks)==
===Section 1===
[[Image:PHASER-type33A1-individual.jpg|thumb|150px|left]]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>[[Image:PHASER-type33A1-individual.jpg|thumb|150px|left]]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===
[[Image:PHASER-type33A1-individual.jpg|thumb|150px|left]]See that image on the side?
<br style="clear:both;" />
===Section 2===
Now it's always above section 2.
