User talk:Warwick/Archive1

Hi, I'm kinda new to the wiki, and most of the coding goes WAY above my head. been using wiki for a while and making un-noticed small changes and corrections, but then i realised i didnt have to give my e-mail to join wiki, so i did! ^_^--Warwick 18:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty new to the wiki coding as well, so I look at other peoples' pages, copy the syntax for their coding, and mess around with it. Probably not the best way to learn, but its the only way I know how >_> :[[Image:Signet_of_Midnight.jpg|25px]] Snagretpudding 18:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe, sorry im i sort of seemed to ignore you, i just made my Warwick's page. Now to start work on Omg and Helma! What a lot of work this is going to be! O_o--Warwick 18:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Self pages
Please don't put pages about yourself in the mainspace, put them in the userspace. To do this, put in front of the name --Gimmethegepgun 18:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks--Warwick 18:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I meant just User:Warwick/, i made it blue and in code to make it more obvious --Gimmethegepgun 18:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah right, thanks. was getting a bit confused as it didnt work. --Warwick 19:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, a quick crash course (ignore any wiki coding, just go by what you see in message normal): Double brackets will link to whatever is inside them if it is in guildwiki, such as  would link to User:Warwick. If you put a   between words, it will link to what is before it, but the message displayed will be what is after it, such as   would link to your name but would appear like this: Warwick. Links to normal Wikipedia can be done like this: , to make a link to Wikipedia's Main Page. External links (links to places other than GuildWiki and Wikipedia) are done with single brackets like this:   to make this: . The   prefix must be used, but the   is not necessary if it begins with that (not something else like  ) .To make it a message, you must put a space between the address and the message. Note that for external links, you must use underscores , you can't use spaces like you can with internal links. Example:   would be this: Google! For more info, go here, which explains more. Also, I think I just typed all this for nothing :/ --Gimmethegepgun 19:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

mm.. thats a lot of coding... Why'd you think you typed it all out for nothing?Warwick 19:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * cuz its all here--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 19:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... good point.. O_o--Warwick 19:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * In my urge to help the Wikinewb (we were all one once) I forgot about the editing guide :/ Also, it's common courtesy (to make it simpler to follow a conversation) to put 's in front of messages (according to how many are already used) because that will move it forward with a tab and can be read more easily --Gimmethegepgun 19:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, i was wondering, could anyone help me get one of those signatures? What i want is At one side, i want a mini dervish symbol, and at the other side i want a mini monk symbol.. How would i go about doing that? Maybe i should read the guide? Wow that was stupid of me -.- --Warwick 19:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, i cant seem to find the part about signatures in the guide.. is there a Signature guide or somthing?--Warwick 19:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * GW:SIGN, but u can only use one image in your signature--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 19:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks =P --Warwick 19:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Signature
Okay i finally gave up trying to get a picture in my name =P, just got myself an automatic link to my talk as well, so im just doing some playing around with my signature at the moment.. Hang on, should i use the Sandbox for that sort of thing? --Warwick

There we go
i think i've finally started to understand the wiki code and such. Just made a load of Userboxes for my talk page, and added skill Icons to my Characters. Now all i DONT get is how to make a signature.. But oh well, a good days work ^_^. I'm going now =P --Warwick 12:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Empty Talk Page
Okay its just me posting at the moment.. but at least i havnt beenn spammed by Marcopolo and his friends! YAY!.. Yup.. I've seen the Devestation that he leaves in his wake.... Okay just to spite me SOMONE is gonna come and spam my userpage.. Im sure.. *Throws userpage into a cell and locks the door* --Warwick 21:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Sure thing. Yeah, I left a message on Entropy's talk page, but Readem left a message on that IP's talk page saying Auron would be home soon and would ban him.Either way. And thanks alot :). And btw don't degrade yourself, its annoying :P --Shadowcrest 23:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Already took care of it :)
 * And on how to revert... go to the history of an article, and compare the edited version with the last good version. And up in the top right, there is the name/IP of the person who edited the article, along with an (undo) link. click that link, and then hit save. OR just open up the last clean version and save it. --Shadowcrest 23:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Aha, Thanks. Now i can revert whenever somthing like that happens.. Or if i accidently screw up my Userpage =D--Warwick 23:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * lol --Shadowcrest 00:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
