Tutorial has been ported to the FAQ per your suggestion.

42.book.addict: with all due respect, this doesn't belong on a template page. port it over to the editing faq or something. also-do we even need to teach people how to create templates? we don't really want unneeded templates being created willy-nilly.

92.17.62.87: Though it was previously changed away from this text, this is how it appears. And now looks even more correct. It's not a monospace code/markup-example, but an example of the appearance it will take in the (default) page layout. Other problems left in.

Undo revision 385151 by DollarStoreBa'al (talk) A strange (and wrong) change to make, to provoke a response. There'll be no further comments, you clearly don't need *my* help.

DollarStoreBa'al: alright! Fine! You clearly think you're superior to me in every way, so go ahead! Make this the best it can possibly be. If they're better, I won't revert it. This is a small wiki, and we need to work together.
