Thanks for the warm welcome!

I need help in learning how to edit the sub-boxes that go on pages. For example, the box at the bottom of this page [1] I believe should include Grand Junction, CO in the list of "largest cities" but I don't know how to edit those boxes. I'd also like to create one of those boxes for University of Colorado system but I don't know how to create one either, and I can't find the help page for it since I don't even know what they're called. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated! Mecu 20:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is what is called a template, for help on how to make and use them, have a look at Help:Template. The one on that page in particular, can be found at Template:Colorado. The use of {{ }} brackets denotes to include a template on the page. -Dawson 20:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
