How would people feel about doing a call for new editors on various Orthodox fora? My thought is that the pandemic is giving some people a whole lot to do, but a lot of other people a lot of hurry up and waiting to do. I know that the minor edits I've been doing recently have helped me feel like there is more purpose to my days, and have been a welcome focus away from the news. On the other hand, I can see that, especially if worded poorly, such a call could seem callous and disrespectful. -[[User:Dclark|Dclark]] ([[User talk:Dclark|talk]]) 19:08, March 22, 2020 (UTC)
:I think that's valuable for society and for this wiki, in its own tiny way. Finding something useful to do is a good way to keep from going stir-crazy or feeling despondent. -[[User:Koavf|Justin (koavf)]]·[[User talk:Koavf|T]]·[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]·[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]] 22:05, March 22, 2020 (UTC)
:Hi! As far as conversation and whatnot, things here have been pretty quiet for a LONG time. I'd be on more, but Coronavirus or not, I've not got a whole lot of time. If I'm here, I'm usually over at the [[Orthodox Blogs]] page. I've been on OrthodoxWiki since 2005; a lot of the people who contributed a lot in the early days did so in the days before full-time jobs and families and the like. ;) It's always been a struggle to get new people who stick around - I'm not a mod, but it's great to have more activity here!

== Could an admin add this CSS that gives icons to youtube and reddit links (like facebook)? ==

'''Could an admin add this to the appropriate place? https://orthodoxwiki.org/User:Dclark/common.css'''
It gives icons to youtube and reddit links, like the facebook icons you can see at [[Livestreams]].
Also you might want to add the <code>padding-right: 0px</code> to facebook and any other pre-existing instances of icons, as there is a bug where a big space is inserted after the link which looks ugly, e.g. in "[http://facebook.com/ here]." there is no space in the wikitext between the link and the period, there is just an unfortunate 13px padding for some reason.
Thanks!
(Note: If you want to add icons to other links, the awesome font icons are all listed at https://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/)
(Note 2: There is a bug in all of these icons, including the pre-existing facebook, where it puts an icon in the TOC if just the word is in the heading. Ideally the CSS for mine and the existing facebook icon should be edited so it doesn't do this, but this is beyond my CSS capabilities.)

:Just thought I'd do a *gentle nudge* on this as I noticed the remote services page is now linked to from the front page. If no one wants to do this I'll do it, I believe someone just needs to give me access to https://orthodoxwiki.org/MediaWiki:Common.css --[[User:Dclark|Dclark]] ([[User talk:Dclark|talk]]) 13:09, April 26, 2022 (UTC)
== just a note about a Canadian Orthodox History Wiki ==
I stumbled across this the other day - definitely not the same as OrthodoxWiki, but interesting nonetheless: https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Main_Page

== Aligning Templates to Right/Left, allowing text to wrap. ==
Hello, everyone! For those on the New Calendar -- Christ is born! For those of us who aren't, we've still got a couple of weeks.
Right now I am trying to create/update the lives of the Prophets and I have created a template for a series on their lives and not the Prophetical books themselves, as that has already been created and done well.
I am having a problem with text not being able to wrap around the template no matter what tag I add to the template or articles themselves, leaving quite a gap between the body of text and the bottom of the page. I know this does not look good and I am hoping to fix that.
Could anyone take a look at if there are any issues in my Template:OTProphets to find where my error might be coming from? Or am I missing a tag that should be added during article editing? I primarily borrowed a suggested template from Wikipedia with some additions.
Please let me know if you're able to help me out here.
In Christ,

::Thank you, Justin! That is so much nicer. I will be back on tomorrow to make some more additions to the minor prophets as I summarize the Synaxarion readings. [[User:Ioannplyler|Ioannplyler]] ([[User talk:Ioannplyler|talk]]) 07:16, December 30, 2022 (UTC)
