Templates
It seems you aren't very familiar with templates, so here's some tips for your future edits. First of all, you don't need to indicate it is a template within the brackets, that is you don't need  just   is enough. Secondly, when more than one page is going to use the exact same data, such as a navigation box, you need to make a new template (assuming one doesn't exist already). This not only takes up much less space on the pages, but if there is an error, all pages can be fixed simultaneously by editing the template. If you don't know how to make new templates, you can ask me and I will create them for you. I have already made  and. ◄► Tephra ◄► 05:39, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * You can have a look at Template:Pauldrons to see how it is done. Basically, a template is just the information you want on the page, since you already knew how to make the navigation boxes, you're already 90% of the way there. You just need to add the includeonly and noinclude tags. Anything added between  will not appear on the template page, but will appear on every article that uses the template. This allows you to add categories to the pages through the template, e.g. , without adding the template to that category as well. Anything added between    does the opposite and only affects the template page. This is used to put the template into its own category, e.g.   as well as add instructions on how to use the template (if necessary).

Blogs
I see you have made a couple blogs with the commenting disabled, I'm guessing that wasn't intentional? When creating your blogs, there is a little check box to enable commenting. If you already knew this and intentionally disabled commenting, very well, you may ignore this message. ◄► Tephra ◄► 17:18, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
