By far the easiest way to edit this site is to go into "Source Editor". The code is a bit daunting but it's so so much easier and more reliable than the regular editor. There's stuff, like galleries, that you just CAN'T do with with the regular editor. It's a bit borked.

I've just gone in and sorted Laura Katherine Kaufman's page - if you go in the the source editor you can see how it all lays out. We've got over 3000 actor's pages, they need to be standardised to be able to cope with so many!

Top, the {{Actor| is the infobox, it's easiest to keep it right at the top or else it causes layout issues.

== Cats Credits == Heading -this section needs to be at the top becuse it's at the top on every page. It's the "at a glance" info about the performer.

Biography needs to be dated - it's obvious now, but when we've got performers who have been in the show over the years, it's so interesting to know when the info dates from!

{{clr}} - this tag is BRILLIANT as it forces a break - everything following will beforced below the infobox.

== Gallery == This is SO much simpler than the "add pictures" function. The down-side is if you don't also use the above CLR tag, it will re-size and squish into tiny thumbnails. Also it doesn't add photos into the text, so there's a time and place for both functions.

{{DEFAULTSORT:Kaufman, Laura Katherine}} puts all the lists of actors surname first... it's an option in the drop-down menu under "Categories".

I hope that's useful, I don't mean to sound patronising if you know how this works already - it's taken me a while to work it out but it's pretty straight forward really! And there's so much less swearing at it screwing up compared to the visual editor!
