Authorization Course Info Box Template

How to create a new authorization info box

Step 1:

Create a new child page under Authorizations using the title of the authorization course. Do not stick "auth" or "authorization" in the name. Note that a single authorization course page is all that's needed to cover multiple tools. To make a new page quickly, type in the name at the end of the URL to the Authorizations...

https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Authorizations/Hot_Air_Balloon

Create the page.

Step 2:

From the Insert menu select Template. Type in AuthorizationCourseInfo and select AuthorizationCourseInfo...

Insert the template.
