Putting <code>style="text-align:center"</code> in the header will center all the text in every cell. | *Generally, things in a table look better when they're centered (with the exception of large blocks of text).

*Normally, clicking an image leads to the image itself. However, by adding the <code>link</code> parameter, you can make images just like normal links. Usually, it's best to leave images as linking to themselves, since linking them forces people to look at the source to find out where an image came from. However, there are cases where linking them is better (such as the [[Tier list]] templates). | *Normally, clicking an image leads to the image itself.

*Colour on the internet is represented by a six-digit hexadecimal number ( | *Colour on the internet is represented by a six-digit hexadecimal number (prefaced on wikis by "#"). Hex numbers use the letters A to F as extra digits - A is 10, while F is 15. Basically, the first two digits are the amount of red, the next two are the green, and the last two are the blue. So, 000000 is pure black, 7F0000 is 50% red (brown), and FFBF7F is 100% red, 75% green, and 50% blue (tan). While adding colour can sometimes be distracting, there are times when it can have a positive effect. Here are some simple colours: | ||
