Howdy.

My logname comes from the Arthur C. Clarke novel 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I always fancied the quote of the Dr. R. Chandra character from the movie sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact:

Whether we are based on carbon or silicon makes no fundamental difference; we should each be treated with appropriate respect.

Why is it so frakkin' difficult to do what should be a really simple thing, such as list ALL the available templates? All I was looking for was a template I could use for the concept of "recently." I really, really thought there was one; I could have sworn I saw that used.

So here I hope to figure out how to do a ref block.[1]

Why is it so frakking difficult to decode what exactly some of the stuff on this site is? Why, oh why, is it nigh on impossible to read or even find out what a DAB-class article is?


Some Google results seem to point to a DAB-class template...but it's nonexistent.


Here is a little thing Wikimedia gave to me as evidence I voted in the Arbitration Committee election in 2015-Nov:
