;Create a URL shorthand for linking to another site
 
: For example, I made one to www.x2engine.com so that the "About X2Engine" in the footer could be made a link to the main X2Engine site: <syntaxhighlight lang="mysql"> INSERT INTO interwiki (iw_prefix, iw_url, iw_local, iw_trans) VALUES ("x2", "http://www.x2engine.com/$1", 1, 0);</syntaxhighlight> Then, a link to the "about" page: <pre>[[x2:partners]]</pre>
 
;Add custom HTML to the template
 
: Edit <TT>VectorTemplate::execute()</tt> in <tt>public_html/skins/Vector.php</tt> (a backup of this skin has been made in <tt>Backup/Vector</tt>, in case anything should go wrong). The body begins after these lines:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
 
                // Output HTML Page
 
                $this->html( 'headelement' );
 
</syntaxhighlight>
