[edit] Copy and Paste

{{Building |
| image = 
| home = 
| year = 
| person = 
}}

[edit] Example

{{Building |
| image = [[Image:example.jpg|thumb|250px|description]]
| home = [[college]] or [[administration office]] or [[something cool]]
| year = [[xxxx]]
| person = [[John Q. Public]]
}}

The thumbnail should be 250px to look right in the box.

[edit] Suggested improvements

Some thoughts:

• Make it right aligned
• Add a row for a picture
• What about buildings like Margaret Hall or English Office Building that are no longer standing?

In the year box, you could put the year it opened, and then Demolished: yyyy --Freddie 06:23, 18 Jul 2005 (CDT)

• What about buildings that don't house colleges (only departments)? i.e., the "colleges" tag seems to be superfelous - is there a way to make it "optional?" --DrSteveChaos 09:01, 18 Jul 2005 (CDT)

Not that I'm aware of. Cburnett is the wiki god, I'll ask him --Freddie 23:54, 18 Jul 2005 (CDT)

I made it right-aligned and vertical. It seems to be much more adept for adding content such as computer labs than it was before. --Freddie
