Forum:Succession Box

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me program a Succession Box template for the Turtlewiki. Turtle Fan 22:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you be more specific on what you want the box to look and what will it do? --Cizagna (Talk) 01:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm looking for a two-row, three-column table. You'd have the title of a character in the upper center cell and the character himself below it. The left column is "Preceded by" and the right one is "Succeeded by." Wikipedia has them for all kinds of things. Turtle Fan 22:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Almost, but the "Preceded By" and "Succeeded By" category counts as one row, and there's only one other row. For a grand total of six cells instead of nine.

Can't say I blame you for ignoring Wikipedia, it sucks. Turtle Fan 02:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The box at the bottom of this one--found a nice, short example for ya--isn't quite what I had in mind (perhaps I was misremembering the format?) but it will do just fine:

 * Complex template indeed, it uses arround 6 templates to work out >.<, looks like a series of templates all working to make a wide array o possibilities, the above box has change the code to appear, like the other one after all that template clean up

This is the code you have to create a page in the Template namespace like "Template:Sussesionbox"
