| + | I'm well aware that it's far from the most important thing on the wiki, but nevertheless perhaps we should establish some sort of standard form for [[Teatime Teaser]] clues with regards to whether to put a full stop or any other form of punctuation at the end. As I say, not majorly important but consistency is never a bad target. For the record, I don't tend to put full stops but do put other forms of punctuation, such as exclamation or questions marks, where they are applicable. -- [[User:Crispy|Chris 'Crispy' Philpot]] 10:14, 28 June 2009 (BST) | ||

This is a pretty good start, thanks! The numbers template is always the fiddliest to use so I don't think the relative complexity of that section can be helped much. Soo 13:03, 25 September 2007 (BST)
Misdeclaration
Dunno if I'm doing it right, Howard, but I don't use tags for it. Countdown Kid 10:59, 12 June 2009 (BST)
- You're doing it exactly right, Kai. The tags are only used in producing the style guide so that it can be demonstrated what one actually types. If I hadn't used the nowiki tags, all anyone would get to see is the result that occurs when typing such things as a misdeclaration, rather than seeing what one has to type.
- For example, using the tabs, I could get {{misdeclared|word|5}} to appear, showing the user what to type. drawoh 11:35, 12 June 2009 (BST)
