Template:Ticker



This is a template to include the ticker. It makes including a ticker for the standard case (Displaying last published articles one at a time) easier. If you want to do something really funky/weird/unusual with the ticker system, see the comments in mediawiki:ticker2.js or ask user:Bawolff.

This is using the second incarnation of the ticker system.

Basic usage: ticker displays all published articles in Category:Africa. ticker displays the latest published news. See User:Bawolff/sandbox/ticker for more funky examples of the ticker (ex. picture slideshow).
