Inquire how you do it please (pages like on Wikipedia)

Mass and Maverick: The Elections of 2004, 2008, and 2012


The first four infoboxes of my timeline Done With Dick, or "The Eisenhour."



Big Phil will regret winning this one. Republican foreign policy may have schooled the Soviets (Anderson dominated on those dice rolls) but the economy collapses during his term and he becomes the first president to commit suicide. The 1970s are a left-wing Democratic decade and the Republican right grumbles all the while that they never had a proper shot at governing.

Most of it's not written yet, but just for you I put this together! Sanders didn't run again (after losing the gubernatorial primary in 1970) but fortunately a new dream team emerged.

Once you have a wikipedia account you'll have a sandbox which is essentially your own page you can fiddle with without ruining actual articles. I go to the relevant election's page, click on Edit Source and copy the Infobox code into my sandbox. From there I edit the text for the candidates, turnout, everything to what I want. When that's done I open the page in incognito (so the links are blue) and I snip it into a paint program where I swap out the colors and portraits to some I like more.

When I'm writing them I replace everyone's portrait with Nixon's 1972 portrait because it's exactly 165x200 pixels which I've found visually nice and easy to work with.


Thank you very much
