Trying to start new pages (Zombie Hamlet(Lost Alpha) and can not figure out how to start them where they have the common Headings and Sub-headings.  Is there a template that provides the base structure?  I ask acknowledging the need to keep the formatting consistent.   Thanks!

For any given TYPE of page look at the picturebbox (Ibox) and come down to where it says "(source)"

Open the link in a new tab and you have the source code for that type of page. Select the code and copy it.

With the original page Forest(Lost_Alpha) you then have options: since you already created Zombie Hamlet just click through, pull the EDIT menu down and select "Classic Editor" then "Source" - and paste what you copied earlier. (For a redlink I prefer to open in a new tab and diss the VE (see below))

Then edit that.

It sounds like a lot of fuss for little gain. It isn't. The "Boosey and Hawkes" Visual Editor is a fucking disaster to work with. If you create a page and see that abortion loading just hit "cancel" and drop to the 'Classic Editor' - you'll thank me in the long run.

When in doubt - open up a similar page in source and see how someone else did it. That's how I learnt it all..

HTH

Copy their code for simplicity - if it helps - hell, I do that all the time.
