Heya. I've made a joke on the page Scientology but it looks awkward, and it would look so much more shiny and cool if I could get it made into a template, or something like that. Currently it is this image:

Which appears above text, like this.

Jesus just said that.

Now, it'd be a lot cooler if I could have a template with the "buddy christ" pic (like in the jesus loves this article template) with the text image next to it, in a nice box to make it pretty. I tried copying and pasting another template's code and fiddling with it, but couldn't get two images next to each other.

Can someone with experience do all the work for me and report back with cookies um, help?? :D Gubby 18:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Why not copy the code from some other template, like {{factoid}}, and replace the image and intro with what you want? --Carlb 18:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I tried that, but couldn't get it right. All that wierd code which I don't understand. Maybe if there were an article about making templates I could refer to? I could search, of course, but I was mainly hoping someone here would know a quick answer or do it for me saving me a load of time. (I'll probably end up doing so..)Gubby 19:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Would you like one like this:

Made from {{factoid}}? ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 19:22, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks, I can see that working nicely. I'll just make an image with the writing and the buddy christ image together. :D Gubby 19:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Might want to change that text into a variable though... ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 20:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, changed to variable and added to article. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 20:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Can we make the "Jesus says" bit more prominent? It looks small to be a heading to me..Gubby 20:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not that hard. Just change the [[Image:<name>.<type>|XXpx]] to a different number of pixels (eg XX=100, change to 150). ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 14:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
