Hello
Development notes
It's unclear why this slider it isn't working, because it's coded according to Help:Sliders (and this modified version of the Wikia standard help file). It seems to slightly fall short of Help:Galleries and slideshows, though. A possible clue is that the pictures involved might have to be exactly 673px X 410px, which obviously means custom cropping. czechout ☎ ✍ 00:45, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
