Templates

I noticed some of your recent template edits, and um...why exactly are you editing the template directly? If, for example, you're trying to add your age to the age template just type:

It's pretty simple.Mandi ^Talk 03:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I just joined yesterday and was trying to figure that out...about five seconds after I did that I realized that I had edited the template itself. Now I know what I'm doing with those...haha. Sorry for being a n00b, hopefully I will catch on quicker with the next thing that I don't know how to do. --ARedHairedBeauty 22:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

You can browser through the Help Guide. See what you can learn in there. Anything that it doesn't cover you can just ask about.Emma ^(Talk) 22:13, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Pretty much what Matt said. If you need any help with templates, feel free to ask him or me about them. We're two of the best at it :)

The thing you'll be most interested in is the HTML help guide. It should help you out.User:Justin ZW/sig 01:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

User Signatures

I tried following the instructions on creating a custom signature, and I could not find how to make a fresh, new page for it in the Help section, as I am trying to do Method #2. So I searched "create a page" in the search bar, and this is what happened: http://www.zeldawiki.org/Create_a_page The instructions for the custom signature would be really easy to follow it I could find out how to make a new page. I don't really need a custom signature now but I thought it'd be good practice before I try editing actual pages, besides my user page.

Okay, go to the Sandbox and click edit. Type: [[User:ARedHairedBeauty/sig]] and click show preview. If you need any more help, you can refer to this guide, or ask me :)Mandi ^Talk 23:08, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh fudge, what a mess I've made! Now when you click "Sandbox" it comes up because I pressed "save page" after I clicked "show preview"...I don't know how to change that (I think that would be deleting a page, which I know I cannot do). Either way, I can't grasp how that would be creating a page in itself, if I had followed your instructions right. --ZeldaWiki (Talk) 23:19, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I created the page for you, feel free to edit it as you see fit.Mandi ^Talk 23:53, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm gonna get the hang of this, just you all wait and see! --ARedHairedBeauty 00:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

No problo ;P And if you're going to experiment and test things out, use the Sandbox, that's what I use. Mandi ^Talk 00:29, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I set your sig2 page up, and now I need you to go to your my preferences and type {{subst:User:Username/sig2}}.Mandi ^Talk 00:49, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I typed the text in there and checked the box below it. I previewed it with this to test it: {{:User:ARedHairedBeauty@legacy41961385/sig}} It looks right to me besides the "talk" part of it not connecting to my talk page. And I can customize it by changing the colors on the first sig page you created for me, right? ARedHairedBeauty (talk).

{{subst:User:Username/sig2}} 01:06, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Uh, where username is you're supposed to add your username.Mandi ^Talk 01:16, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, yes, that would make perfect, overlooked sense. I changed it. ARedHairedBeauty (talk).

{{subst:User:ARedHairedBeauty/sig2}} 01:39, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you have the "treat signature as wiki text" box checked in your user preferences.Mandi ^Talk 01:53, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Now I do. Thanks for all of your help! ARedHairedBeauty (talk).

It seems to be working great now. Have fun tweaking it :PMandi ^Talk 02:13, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
