Use this template for adding nicely formatted news entries to the Main Page

Copy this code:

{{News
title=[your news item title]
date=[the date]
content=[whatever you want to write]
}}

If you want to leave any field blank, you should just leave the field blank, but remember to write "date=" or "content=".

If you're having trouble making line breaks show nicely, consider using these tags for line-breaks instead:

<br>
