This is usually placed at the top of a page:<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{wip|MYNAME}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Where '''MYNAME''' is the name of the person who is working on the page, or if you invite others to help edit<br /> the page, leave that blank such as: <br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{wip}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> {{wip}}<br /> <br /> == Bluebox: Using a shaded blue box (usually to indicate theist/quoted testimony) ==<br /> <br /> This template can be used to show a typical argument/quote.<br /> <br /> Usage:<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{bluebox|<br /> CONTENT<br /> }}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{bluebox|<br /> One look at the beauty of our world and it's obvious: ''God did it!''<br /> }}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> {{bluebox|<br /> One look at the beauty of our world and it's obvious: ''God did it!''<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Biblequote: quoting text from scripture ==<br /> <br /> This template is used for bible references. <br /> <br /> Usage: &lt;nowiki&gt;{{biblequote|book|chap-verse|text|version}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{biblequote|Romans|13:8|Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one<br /> another, for he who loves his fellow-man has fulfilled the law.|(NIV)}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> {{biblequote|Romans|13:8|Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow-man has fulfilled the law.|(NIV)}}<br /> <br /> == Az: embedding a link to a product on Amazon.com ==<br /> <br /> This template makes it easy to put a quick link to Amazon.com for anyone interested in finding more information out about, or purchasing publications and other products. Our hosting company has an account with Amazon and will get a percentage of any sales made, which helps cover the costs of operating this site -- it's another way of supporting FreeThouhtPedia.<br /> <br /> Usage &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Az|ASIN|text to hilight}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> where ASIN is the product ID number. You can find this in the url of a typical Amazon product listing:<br /> <br /> For example, here's the URL displayed when you look at the book, &quot;The Brick Testament&quot;<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Brick-Testament-Stories-Book-Genesis/dp/&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''1931686459'''/ref=pd_bbs_sr_...<br /> The part in '''bold''' is the ASIN (1931686459), so you could do something like this:<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Az|1931686459|The Brick Testament}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> and it would come out like this:<br /> :{{Az|1931686459|The Brick Testament}}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br /> [[category:help]]</div> Pile
