new parameter

Well folks, I got sick of trying to design a front page with multiple fixed-width boxes, which is just impossible. So, I went to all the trouble of learning how to do parameters - not easy if you are reading Wikipedia programmers - they need a tech writer I think - and now this box has a parameter on this width. You can get this by enclosing the name with a |number after it in double braces. If you don't want the adjustable width, leave off the number and it defaults to 200, px that is, just the way it was.
