Template:Main page slider

Purpose
Displays a slideshow of recent and upcoming episodes for our main page.

After updating the slideshow, it may take a while before the changes are reflected on the main page. The amount of time will vary depending on how busy the servers are. If the main page is edited, it will immediately see the changes to this template.

Construction
All four lines must be present. The slider is fixed at displaying four entries. Additional lines are ignored.


 * Picture1.jpg &mdash; The picture to be displayed. The "File:" prefix is optional. If the name of the picture is not correct or the picture is missing, the entire line is ignored and only valid lines are processed. This will result in only 3 or fewer pictures being displayed.
 * Title &mdash; The title for the picture.
 * Page &mdash; The page to go to when someone clicks on the main picture. If there are any problems with linking to a page, use the full URL of the page, such as  http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Lisa_Simpsons 
 * linktext= &mdash; The description to show below the picture title.

Note: The picture must be 660x360 in size. Pictures of other sizes will be squashed and/or stretched to fit these dimensions. (Instructions on how we want these kinds of pictures to be named and identified will be added shortly.)
