Testing out the videoflash extension
To play a video, like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM3xLshmNnk, put the following in the page (width and height are optional -- actually, they are not working so well):
<videoflash>LM3xLshmNnk|200|100</videoflash>
Example:
playing with tables
| Name | Date |
|---|---|
| Aba | 1 |
| Dad | 0 |
| Candy | 3 |

| Name | Date |

Testing infobox
On Dec 28 2011, I exported/imported all template files from Template:Infobox mountain on wikipedia (and installed the parser extension). Trying the following example (copied from the Mount Whitney page on wikipedia). It doesn't seem to work fully, so will see if we can debug a bit.
Edit: after importing the California location map, this seems to fail even more miserably. So I am giving up. The code was:
{{Infobox mountain
| name = Mount Whitney
| photo = Mount Whitney 2003-03-25.jpg
| photo_caption = [[East Face (Mount Whitney)|East Face]] close-up seen from the [[Whitney Portal]].
| elevation_ft = 14505
| elevation_ref = {{NAVD88}}<ref name="ngs"/>
| prominence_ft = 10080
| prominence_ref = <ref name="Peakbagger">{{cite peakbagger|2829|Mount Whitney, California}}</ref><br /><small>[[List of peaks by prominence|Ranked 81st]]</small>
| parent_peak = [[Pico de Orizaba|El Pico de Orizaba]]
| map = California
| map_caption = Location in California, USA
| map_size = 240
| label_position = left
| listing = [[Ultra prominent peak|Ultra]], [[List of U.S. states by elevation|US State High Point]] of California, SPS Emblem peak <ref name="SPS">{{cite sps}}</ref>
| location = [[Sequoia National Park]] / [[Inyo National Forest]], [[California]], [[United States|USA]]
| range = [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevada]]
| lat_d = 36.578580925 | lat_NS = N
| long_d = 118.291994950 | long_EW = W
| region = US-CA
| source = ngs
| coordinates_ref = <ref name="ngs"/>
| topo = [[United States Geological Survey|USGS]] Mount Whitney
| type = [[Granite|Granitic]]
| age = [[Cretaceous]]
| first_ascent = August 18, 1873 – Charles Begole, Albert Johnson, John Lucas <ref name="Farquhar"/>
| easiest_route = [[Mount Whitney Trail]] (hike)
}}
Simpler example of infobox
Not all the pages must have been included, because the borders and formatting are not correct. I edited Mediawiki:Common.css too, but still have problems. I think it might be best to manually follow all the instructions at [1]. There are also recommendations on exporting infobox to other wikis at [2].
