[edit] responses to what?, why?, how?, where?

(Forgive me for lowering the volume on your title up there).

These templates are citations to books and other sources that are used in many articles. For example {{Russell Norvig 2003}} produces:

• Russell, Stuart J. & Norvig, Peter (2003), Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd ed.), Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-790395-2, <http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/> 

Which can be used in the "References" section of any article. (Russell Norvig is the most popular textbook about artificial intelligence, so there are a large number of articles that use this source.) These templates are just a convenience that some editors have used when editing large numbers of articles on the same subject. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 07:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] page layout

Subcategories - none of the '+' buttons do anything!
