Hey, I'm putting this up so you have some time to think about it, but next weekend, I'm thinking about putting together some more detailed and advanced help pages for things involving wiki code (i'll explain what I can and cannot help you with below). If you have any ideas or questions, leave them in the comments section. I know that we can all copy-paste from an article we're trying to emulate, but there are cases where you might want a certain part of the coding on the template, and it can be overwhelming if you don't know what you want. For a list of what already exists, go to Help.

There is also Help:Fanboxes and Help:Creating Fanboxes.


[edit] What can and can't I help you figure out?

Can

  • Things involving embedding templates, finding a template, creating a certain type of page (brackets, fanboxes, etc.), certain effects you've seen on articles, and the like.

Can't

  • Unless you can show me what effects from different pages you're trying to combine, I can't help you create new things (although I'll search wikipedia for you to see if they have anything similar)

I've been getting a lot of messages from the newer users asking how to do stuff. I am definitely grateful that you're trying to elaborate these pages. Thanks, FP. You're the best...

you would think the {{Welcome Message}} would help the new users, but I don't think they really look at it...

Exactly. They just think that it's some message that's given to them when they sign up. They don't take the time to read the message at ALL!

no problem. I've had Justin asking me a bunch of questions this week, and Cheezer had the fanbox issue before that, and I'd rather not have to answer their questions, and instead just point them to a help page

Not to mention my questions before I was an admin. ;)

ya and some old like me, i think along with the code of conduct a page like that should pop up as soon as they sign up, down at the bottom of the page can be hard to find for sme first timers

I know, and that's fine. I'd just prefer not to be stuck answering all of those questions because if I don't, Alex might, ad if Alex isn't around, Pean will get asked, which means we wait longer until the new awesome upgrade to the site comes (whatever it is, I don't care. I just want it to come sooner rather than later)
