Forum:Is there a tutorial on Linktabing

I am not sure what it is called. One of the original Admins created this template - Linktabs. This apparently works by linking one Event page to another Event page, it's kind of like a "Next / Previous page" button. It hasn't been updated since 2006 (thus outdated) though I did attempt to try something I basically failed. I want to try and update this to include Protect locks, as well as create more tabs to link to current events. Is there any wiki or guide I can copy to either create a new template or update the current one? -- Bunai82 (talk) 16:52, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could ask Dantman - who originally created the template -- Random Time  17:17, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * He seems real busy, but I will wait to see if I get reply. I hope to at least try and create a new one or learn more about them. Or just copy one that exist. -- Bunai82 (talk) 04:17, September 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * The template only worked up to 2006 as there is no logic test built into it for years past then, to link to the relevant page even if it exists, from what i can see looking at it.
 * All template "protected" does is stick an icon on a page if it is protected (locked) from editing or move. To use it on a wiki that has it just add Protected to the page, so if the wiki does not have the template you just need to copy its code from the Templates Wiki and also upload all the icons it uses to the wiki to be able to use it. The template does NOT protect pages from editing by adding it to them.
 * You have added to the template, all that does is transclude the text from the page called "Category:Help" i.e the message at the top of the main Help (category) page. (is that what you wanted to do or were you asking for help on the page ?) - some wikis have a template  to use to call for help, which is placed on talk pages.
