Link Boxes
If you want to create a quick link to a Wikipedia article you can use the wikipedia template like this: {{Wikipedia|Animal}} which gives you the box on the right. Remember to replace Animal with the name of the article you want, and check that the article does exist on Wikipedia before you link to it.
Template:PGBook You can also link to a Project guttenberg Title by using: {{PGBook|Shakespeare's Sonnets|1041}} where Shakespeare's Sonnets is an arbitrary name, and 1041 is the etext number for the book you want.
{{Wikipedia/Disaster Management}} <nowiki> ==Tick Marks== If you want to use a tick mark or a cross you can use one of the following images: {| style="border: 1px solid black; text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse;" | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | [[Image:Correct.png]] | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | [[Image:Right.png]] | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | [[Image:Wrong.png]] |- | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | <nowiki>[[Image:Correct.png]] | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | [[Image:Right.png]] | style="border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 1ex" | [[Image:Wrong.png]] |}
