By creating a new status indicator.  By creating a new template for each story, I can go to the Special Page 'Most Linked To' and see precisely how many pages each story has.

Hi Fruitbat,

As for the colors themselves in each template, edit a template and you'll see lines like: bgcolor="#CCFFCC"

You have been a great user on the system and I have given you sysop rights. This means that you can block users that are vandals on the system. If you would like to look up a user's IP address go to the Control Panel and use the tool there. Then go to special pages to go to the block IP form. Please use this feature sparingly. Blocks should only be used for users that are trying to destroy the site and not to censor content.

That means that the background color for the following section should be hexadecimal #CCFFCC, which is a pale green.

How do you create a new template?
 
-
It's a bit like creating a new page.  First you need to put the name of your new template on a page and save that page.  Template names use the squiggly brackets { rather than the square ones [.  Then edit the page you put the template name on.  At the bottom of the edit screen, under the save button, will be lines saying:

Templates used on this page:

• <font color="red">Whatever you named your template</font>

Now you can click on the red link and go to the edit page for your template.  I copy the coding from one template to the next and just do minor tweaking, like altering the colors.

sysop

Hi Fruitbat,

You have been a great user on the system and I have given you sysop rights. This means that you can block users that are vandals on the system. If you would like to look up a user's IP address go to the Control Panel and use the tool there. Then go to special pages to go to the block IP form. Please use this feature sparingly. Blocks should only be used for users that are trying to destroy the site and not to censor content.


Thanks,

Yes, the Roman name and the censorship thing do seem to indicate that they're either the same jerk or jerks who are part of the same organization of vandals. At least I was able to cut this one off in the middle of his attack.
