A quick reference for Signpost layout code

By Evad37

This is a quick reference of how to accomplish various formatting styles in Signpost articles. For further information, see the formatting guide.

Description	Code	Notes
Sub-article headlings	===Introduction to layout===	Articles can have multiple subheadings
High-res, wide-format images	{{Signpost inline image|image=File:Foo.jpg|caption=Your caption.}}	Place before article headings; only use sparingly within articles
	{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Inline image resizable|width=600|image=File:Foo.jpg|caption=Your caption.}}	Adjust width number to suit.
Image in the right-hand column	{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler image-v2|image=File:Foo.svg|caption=Some caption}}	Default size is 300x300px, specify a manual size using the |size=
Interactive poll	{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler poll-v2|option1=Yes|votepage=Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Voter/Issues/Test Poll/Votes|option2=No|question=An open poll.}}	To set up a votepage: save the page, then follow the link in the error message; polls with fewer than ten responses will not display results
Quotation	{{Signpost quote|Your quote}}
Lengthy quotation	{{Signpost inline quote|Your quote|source=Attribution}}	Displayed with a green background
Right-hanging quote	{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler quote-v2|Your quote}}	Can also specify |author= and |source=
Graph or chart	{{Graph:Chart}}	See template documentation; set |width=800 to take up the full width, or preferably embed on the right-hand side (see Filler frame)
Filler frame: embed any content on the right-hand side	{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler frame-v2|1=Your stuff|caption=A caption}}	300px wide by default, or set |width= parameter
Article tag inline ("For more Signpost coverage on [tag] see our [tag] series")	{{Signpost series|type=inline|tag=your tag}}	Place at the very end of a section or article
Article tag sidebar ("RELATED ARTICLES: [SERIESTITLE]")	{{Signpost series|type=sidebar-v2|tag=gendergap|seriestitle=Gender gap}}	tag – tag to be used; seriestitle – name of the tag as it will appear;
In brief images	{{Signpost brief filler image|image=|caption=|size=}}
Link to a specific place in a previous article (e.g. an "in brief" item)	{{anchor|Linkname}}	Place at the point to be linked to in previous article); then you can use [[Foo/Bar#Linkname|link text]] to link to that point
Citing Signpost coverage from the same issue	(see [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/<DATE>/Column|''Signpost'' coverage]])	Less common
Citing Signpost coverage from a previous issue	(see previous [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/<DATE>/Column|''Signpost'' coverage]])	More common
Asserting authorship	– {{small|[[User:Resident Mario|R]]}}	Placed at the end of the piece / section
