FAQs
Q: How to translate this template?
A: To translate the template, don't create a language version, just use the {{Header}} and not {{Header/xx}}
Q: Why is there a </div> missing in the template?
A: This is intentional. It means no matter what is added to the page in the future, it will be included in the template's background. It automatically stops when it reaches the footer anyway. If the background is not reaching the bottom of the page, add the {{Clear}} template to the bottom of the page.
Q: Why do I need to use version and incver when adding the page's version?
A: The reason for this is to avoid having several categories for a single release version. For example, without both we would end up with a Category:Version 36, Category:Version 36.1, 36.2, 36.3… You see where this is going.
Updated 23/10/2023. incver now included in version category.
