Layout questions

[mafioso]

In the "vault" on here, I cannot find if this is possible with your script:

Is it possible to create a "side box" on a page with an image?
Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg (see the box to the right of that page)

Is it possible to have an alphabetical category index?
Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:XML

Would it be possible to have page templates?
I am asking because I want to create biographies, just like the Mark Zuckerberg page quoted above. It would be good to have all biographies follow a certain layout.

1. You can create templates like that with Templates. For a specific floating box like that, you probably want to use the TABLE BB-Code so you can apply styles to it.

2. Categories are a feature of the Categories add-on. If you have that, then yes.

3. See #1 above. I would recommend only using Templates for things like side boxes. If you want biography pages to all look similar, you should establish some kind of standards in your wiki with a page about the correct way to write biographies. In the end, this will allow for greater flexibility and more straightforward code in your articles (which the BB-Code parser will thank you for as well).
