I have corrected your edit to [[]] . Please note that when adding the fact tag that the month needs to be spelled out completely. Your edit was <nowiki> {{fact|date=Sept 2008}} <nowiki> it should have been <nowiki> {{fact|date=September 2008}} <nowiki> Using Sept adds the article to the non-existant category [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements since Sept 2008]] instead of the correct category [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements since September 2008]]. Just thought you might be interested. ~~~~

Template code
To allow use without including in categories
- {{#ifeq: {{{categories|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|no}}}}}||[[Category:Prophets of the Hebrew Bible]]}}
Also add:
- [[Category:Category suppression-supporting templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
see:{{Prophets of the Tanakh}}
To use when above code is in place
To add a template to a page that should not be categories add the following code to the template usage in the proper position
- |categories=no
Example: {{Roman Polański|categories=no}}
edit summary to use when updating sub-level parent categories
- added code to remove this page from [[Category:Parent categories]]
Anchors
Example:
- {{Anchors|unacceptable use images of living people|UULP}}
If only using a single anchor name use the following:
- {{Anchor|UULP}}
Consider adding some hidden text to explain the purpose of the anchor as per the following example
- <!-- anchor used for easy linking to this very important section as we continue to delete images with legal fair user rationale but fail to meet this specific Wikipedia additional requirement -->

The preferred order is:

- Bibliography (or Books or Further reading)
- External links
- Other cats
- 2 blank lines if possible (I think this is still the case)
- Stubs
- 1 blank line

test<sub>2</sub> results in test2
Substitute code - use with templates
To include the text of a template rather than a link to it use {{subst:Template Name}}
References - footnotes
Footnotes:
- Place a <ref> ... </ref> where you want a footnote reference number to appear in an article—type the text of the note between the ref tags.
- Place the
<references/> {{reflist}} tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here.
To use the same footnote more than once:
- The first time you use the reference, put <ref name="blah"> ... </ref>
- Later, you can just put <ref name="blah" />
