Hey, I never thanked you for that welcome message, so thanks! RazTwilight 07:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem ;) 15:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As well as RazTwilight, I would like to thank you for the welcome message too! How did you get your user-page to say what zelda games you have? Thanks for your support :) Green-Link 07:19, 03 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Green-Link, those are called userboxes. We have a large selection, which can be found here. For help on how to put them on your page, read the short tutorial here. 15:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * An example, on the list page, there's a section "Required code", by copying and pasting that code onto your page, you will get the userbox. If I paste

the I'll get

And to keep them organized, put the userbox codes between and |}  15:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:Hello & User Sig
My pleasure, it's simply what I do. Though I may not have extensive knowledge about the Legend of Zelda series, nor very much knowledge of it at all (seeing as how, sadly, I've never completed a single game in it, or gotten very far for that matter), I do, fortunately enough, have sufficient grasp of the English language. If I cannot offer new material, at the very last I may still be able to revise information.

Quite so, though they don't generally deter me. - §tigma-231 » ₩hen the blazing sun is gone [ talk ][ cont  ] 04:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, my apologies. That was the signature format I generally use in most wikis.  I hope this is better? - §tigma-231  »[ talk ][ cont  ] 05:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is better. Though, sub-pages are the way to go (I have one) You can still do all that stuff like color change, links, ect. But, yeah, this is better. 05:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent, and I usually use sub-pages, but I wanted to see if I could go without creating a page exclusively for me and my signatures this time. I believe it's working well enough thus far. - §tigma-231  »[ talk ][ cont  ] 05:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome messages
Hi (or hello?)

Just a quick note on welcoming new users to the wiki; I've noticed that recently you've used either the wrong template or incorrect formatting to do this. The correct (and only) way we should be using the welcome templates is:

 

I've noticed a lot of variations on this, mainly either forgetting to "subst" or using the Hello tempalte directly, but neither are correct. The subst is necessary as it places the entire paragraph of text in the user's talk page (a lot clearer and easier to understand/respond to for a new or inexperienced user). Using the Hello template is not appropriate as it misses off the section header; also, why would you want to type something longer than necessary? ;) Please don't think I'm nagging for the sake of it, I just think that with so few of us actually doing the welcoming, it'd be nice to get some consistency going. Thanks! 07:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Someone used copy and paste. You made a spelling error.
 * I might also add that you should change the edit summary to say Welcome. That makes it look more professional. 08:22, February 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Will do. I have seen several users type, and seeing how both ways work, I was wondering if I was using the wrong method :P Thank you for clearing that up ;) 16:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, Matt will remember that as well.


 * Wait, a Hello template and a Hi template!? I was unaware of that, my apologies. 16:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
