::The Subst:? Or the placement? You can subst: a template by adding "subst:" before it. Compare <nowiki>{{User:Philosopher/Header}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{subst:User:Philosopher/Header}}</nowiki>. No visual difference - it's just that if you subst: something, it throws the code from the template onto the page and clutters the page's code somewhat and that updates to the template won't be reflected on the page that subst'ed it. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> <small>via alternate account</small> 13:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC) |

:::There are two caveats, I suppose - 1) the colors from other templates/images/links will show through, if they aren't removed from the page and 2) the box will only appear as long as there is text, though I ''think'' line breaks (<nowiki><br></nowiki> or {{key press|enter}}) would work for that purpose. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> <small>via alternate account</small> 13:07, 17 January 2012 (UTC) |

Adoption
Hi, are you still seeking to be mentored/adopted? Willing to take you. WilliamH (talk) 13:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
For Shempire language, could you give your reasons for wanting to merge? — kwami (talk) 21:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Blackout
You can do so by adding the following to the top of the area to be blacked out:
<div style="background:#000000; border:4px solid #000000; width:95%; margin:0px auto 0px auto; padding:6px; font-size:.9em; {{round corners}}" id="mainframe"> {|style="background:none; border:0; width:100%;" cellpadding="2px" |- |<div style="background: #FFFFFF; border:4px solid #000000; padding:20px; margin:0px 0px 4px 0px; text-align:center; {{round corners}}"><center>{{User:Philosopher/Header}}</center></div>
and
|} </div>
to the bottom of the area to be blacked out. Be aware, however, that I will be restoring the old content of my User:Philosopher/Header shortly after the "official" blackout ends, so you may wish to subst: it. --Philosopher Let us reason together. via alternate account 12:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

- The Subst:? Or the placement? You can subst: a template by adding "subst:" before it. Compare {{User:Philosopher/Header}} and {{subst:User:Philosopher/Header}}. No visual difference - it's just that if you subst: something, it throws the code from the template onto the page and clutters the page's code somewhat and that updates to the template won't be reflected on the page that subst'ed it. --Philosopher Let us reason together. via alternate account 13:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
