About

Changes

• moved inline CSS to stylesheet:

  – simplifies formatting changes (normal CSS simpler than inline CSS);

  – eliminates server load when changing the formatting (no transclusion costs with stylesheets).

• integrated navigation arrows and section parentheses using ParserFunction logic:

  – easier to use the template;

  – much easier to change symbols or formatting (no longer dependant on status quo).

• added ParserFunction check for unspecified author:

  – eliminates need to use parameter overrides for works with no authors.

Sitenotice during transition

The standardised header has been improved based on feedback since its implementation. Some pages may temporarily experience minor formatting mistakes like double arrows (see the updated documentation).
