Template:DDNews

Intro

This template is designed to provide a main news article for newspapers. Originally designed for the Dwilight Daily, it has since been used by a few other Dwilight papers. As a result, it has been slightly modified to make it a bit more generic. In particular, the template now automatically takes the base page name, which should be the name of the newspaper, and puts the page into the category for it.

Usage

All parameters, vertical format

{{DDNews
|month = 
|day =

}}
