Thanks to this admin, we will be having a new template useful for this wiki:

However, before I go further to what this template is all about, I first have to say that this wiki's External image whitelist has been updated. Just to tell you though if you don't get what I mean, that MediaWiki is designed to make all external images posted anywhere in this wiki immediately displayable. Say I have this image:

http://imgur.com/Yn6s7i4

Displaying its direct link:

http://i.imgur.com/Yn6s7i4.png

turns it into...

Easy, right? You can upload an image to Imgur and then place a direct link of that image to display it, even if you don't have to upload it here, especially if that image is not related to PvZ. It saves time to.

NOTE: Imgur is an example of the image hosting site. You can try Photobucket as well.

Where was I? Oh yes! The template you want me to tell you. I introduce to you guys, the R template. The "R" stands for Resize.

This template it quite simple. It has the ability to resize any external image, especially if it's too big.

Let me use this image one more time for an example: http://imgur.com/Yn6s7i4

If you type, it only displays:

If you hover your cursor into that image and click it, it immediately takes you to the direct image itself.

What if you'd like to resize it? It is easy, I will explain. For example, if you type, the size of the image is now:

Take note that the h=50px I demonstrated is the size that you like for the external image. It can be h=24px or h=5px. On a short sample, typing makes it real small:

Do you want an effect that when you hover an image, there is a text that will display after a second? Here is a sample, typing turns into:

Hover your cursor on the image and a text will appear in a second.

Do you also want an effect that when you click on the external image it takes you to another link? Another sample. Typing turns it into:

Clicking this image will take you to another page. And this is where you see the effect happen. It can also take you to another page outside the wiki too. Like will take you to Imgur.com:

Now how about a combination of all these tricks? One more sample. Typing will turn it into:

And here you go guys. The new effective template for this wiki.

If you got any questions or are confused, you can go ahead and ask me if there is something that is not clear to you and I can clarify it for you.
