Tip of the day...

Pick from a list of template parameter choices

Do you have a list of possible choices for a template parameter? Use the #switch parser function to define the choices. Then simply enter the choice's numeric value into the template for the applicable parameter, e.g., 1="Sunday" 2="Monday" 3="Tuesday" ... Default choices also can be listed. For simplicity with lists, use a switch statement instead of a "nested if-then-else" conditional statement to control flow.

Deletion discussion about Anders Ekström (historian of ideas)

Hello, Ytterbium174,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Anders Ekström (historian of ideas) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anders Ekström (historian of ideas) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
