User talk:Kennenth

Hi Kennenth!

Welcome to GuildWiki! I've seen your request for assistance on Dr ishmael's page (because I have that on my watchlist), and here are my suggestions:

If you have further questions, just post them here - you're now on my watchlist, so I'm going to notice them (eventually). --◄mendel► 17:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC) (edited 17:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC))
 * Have a look at User:Dr_ishmael/CharacterTemplate - that ought to work better for you. (The reason you got a redlink is that Lensor isn't on this wiki - he's on the official Guildwars wiki, and unfortunately templates only work if they're here - Dr Ishmael's template is that.)
 * For the userboxes, have a look at Template:Userbox, you ought to be able to take the first example and run with it, if not, I'll be happy to help.


 * Hey thanks a lot, it worked now. =) However, I cannot add more titles, I tried looking at Template:Title/Vanquisher but when I try to add those titles, it tells me something about "{" not being a valid punctuation sign. I type it in like this: "VanquisherCanthan=33" but without the quotes. Also, how do I add a link to the character profile so it doesn't take up as much room? Kennenth 21:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Take a look at Template:TitleList for a complete listing of all the options you can use in that template, the one for Canthan Vanquisher is "CanthanVanquisher=..." To make a link, simply type in a standard wiki-link with the name of the page you want to link to (please keep it in your userspace, i.e. start the link with  ).  The best way to learn is to look at other articles to see how stuff is done, then just imitate it on your page.
 * Thanks for helping him out before, Mendel, I was out of the house until just now. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) Using a : indents what you write, that forms a sort of cascade that helps keep track who replied to whom (in theory). Try "CanthanVanquisher=33". I read Dr Ishmael's documentation carefully, it mentions (and you do use) Template:TitleList, and indeed that's where the explanation is.
 * There are several ways you can make your profile take up less room. One way is to put it on a page of its own (e.g. User:Kennenth/Ninja Kennenth ), another is to use a box that folds out when you click on it (called a NavBox), or you can simply put a above the whole thing and a below to regain the left half of the page for whatever else you want to write - simply write that below. --◄mendel► 21:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You two have been a great help, but I got more questions which you hopefully won't mind answering. I tried to make some userboxes but the images I linked to were extremely large (such as Image:Kahmu.jpg) Do I scale down the picture (if yes, how), or make my own? Also on the character link, how do I get that nice color which corresponds to the profession (similar to the thing on Dr. Ish's userpage). Kennenth 22:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Scale the image. You can do this by typing [[Image:Example.jpg|50pxx19px]], where the 50px is the length and the 19px is the height. You can adjust these to however many pixels you want.
 * Use templates like Template:Rt-color, I think. Since I can't find Ishy's code and don't feel like looking harder. --Shadowcrest  22:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, we ought to put that in the guide. Anyway, you scale down an image by giving the width in pixels after the |, e.g [[Image:Shing_Jea_loading_screen.jpg|64px]] . For the color, "edit" the page (don't save, though) and try to figure out how it's done. --◄mendel► 22:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
