Templates
May i ask your intention on creating templates such as Template:==Sir Seth of Cavalon== and Template:=Hunter Merothe= ? If you want to create subpages for your characters, you need to do it under your own userspace (ie. User:MRSETH/Sir Seth of Cavalon).--Fighterdoken 21:00, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it really necessary to create templates for your headers? For one thing, since they will be specific only to your userspace, they need to be treated as subpages of your userpage, and as such would actually take longer for you to use than to simply type the header. For example, Template:==Sir Seth of Cavalon== should actually be named User:MRSETH/Sir Seth header and to use it, you would need to type . Simply typing ==Sir Seth of Cavalon== is really easier. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]]  talk  21:03, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I'm testing out some different things that seem awkward to test in the sandbox; with there being little to no information I can find on detailed editing I almost have to do it this way, but thank you for the info. From now on I'll use the user subpage form User:MRSETH. again thank you. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:MRSETH (talk).


 * Please create your own User:MRSETH/Sandbox for testing. I will go ahead and move your templates to userspace for you as follows:


 * current name || moved to
 * Template:Hunter Merothe‎ || User:MRSETH/Hunter Merothe text
 * Template:==Sir Seth of Cavalon== || User:MRSETH/Sir Seth header
 * Template:=Hunter Merothe=‎ || User:MRSETH/Hunter Merothe header
 * }

Userpage
Sorry to bug you, but are you trying to use the same layout as User:Linsey Murdock? -- Wyn  talk  21:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I like the look of it so I just copy/pasted it. later I'll probably try to see how to make it look different. But yeah currently it's exactly the same. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:MRSETH (talk).
 * Would you like some help? That's a fairly complicated set of templates to use. Oh, and can you please sign your talk page comments with 4 tildes ( ~ )? Thanks in advance! -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  21:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess a little help wouldn't be to bad. At least with the first tab. currently I got the like to appear on the main page but so far it only take you back to the main page, it won't get you to the character page. plus it doesn't have the "tab look". "The wise warrior doesn't just react to his enamies attacks, he uses them agaist him." 22:02, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm creating a full set of instructions as to how to use that layout. It is made up of many pieces that you have to copy to your userspace, and then make adjustments (Change the username etc). -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  22:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much."The wise warrior doesn't just react to his enamies attacks, he uses them agaist him." 22:06, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, here's the example. User:Wynthyst/example. You have to create all of the pages indicated, using your username in place of Wynthyst/example. Then decide what you want on each page, etc and rename your tabs accordingly. Generally, it's better to put general information about yourself on your main page, and add character information on subpages, as you are limited to 300k for your main page by our User page policy, but subpages can be as big as you wish. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  22:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. Would've taken me forever on my own. "The wise warrior doesn't just react to his enamies attacks, he uses them agaist him." 22:32, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, now, not to be a total pain in the butt, your signature needs to be changed. It must at least resemble your username and also link to your userpage. The extra text you have in there needs to be removed and replaced with   or something like that. You can change the color and the font if you wish, but it must contain a link back to your userpage as per our Signature policy. Thanks! -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  22:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and created the tab pages for you. The rest is up to you :D When you want to add more tabs, use the User:MRSETH/TabsHeader page. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  22:44, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Again, thanks for the help. :) P.S. is there a guide on the more detailed editing like this or is the only way to get it right pretty much by asking for help? Mr Seth
 * Pretty much asking for help. This particular layout is one that was brought over from somewhere on Wikipedia and the staff started using it. It's really more complicated than most userpage layouts you will find on GWW. All of the Help pages listed on our Help center page do have links out to the MediaWiki help pages that go into more detail, but are usually very overwhelming for the average editor. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  23:15, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I use a similar layout as to the one from wikipedia. It's complicated as Wyn said, but interesting to use. -- [[File:User Ariyen sig icon.gif]] riyen ♥ 23:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
