[edit] Template

Try using {{User:Lensor/Character tables}} and place the parameters in there. For an example, see my character page.--Antioch 03:20, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll look into it. I was looknig for the "templates archive" if you'd call it that and I just stumbled onto it. I was using Wandering Travelers character page and just reworking it as a main page.. but I go to thinking.. most of the coding within it I didn't know what it did and some day I just new a coding conflict would run up and bite me from behind. xD

Edit: Saw your page but it was a character page. I have a few of my character pages set up. The problem is I need a template for my main/home user page. Magic Talk 03:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Try asking Y0 or Wyn. They're better at this template stuff! --Antioch 05:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] -stumbles upon your page-

Consider it done. xD

By the way, full page length or that size? -- Halogod35 12:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Y'know.. I went to bed and thhough "osht" b/c I didn't write down the dimensions. xD I want it if you can to match the same stay as my character pages if you can. (Example Also got to thinking that it would be nice to have the codes to add a content box to the left or right sides of the page under the existing boxes, just in case I wanted to add something in the future. Btw, thanks for volunteering! :D Btw, did you pick a winner for the Unique Skill Contest? -- Magic Talk 15:05, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, that character page is.. 100% plus, it fits with the content on the inside. But I'll see what I can do.

And not yet on the contest. -- Halogod35 17:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Just worry about the width of the content boxes. I'm not worried about the height of the bottom boxes on the left and right sides. I'll let the text push 'em down. Magic Talk 17:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll work on your page right when I get over this depression. -- Halogod35 02:24, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Take your time buddy. ^^ Magic Talk 22:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Here's what I got so far, there's a little bugs on it, but I'll have a friend to clean that up. -- Halogod35 08:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

All done. -- Halogod35 02:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Nice horse, tell me about him/her? -- Halogod35 07:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah.. guess I need to do my profile.. I just hate to write. xD He's a 13 y/o sorrel quarter horse gelding named Checkers. Lives his life mostly out in the pasture but we trailer right when we get time. Really good attitude for a horse.. does pretty much anything you tell him. Gentle as could be. He's constantly aware and yet doesn't care about his surroundings. He also loves water, which is a bit unusual for a horse. He'll splash in mud puddles and swim in the pond [or streams]. ^^ Magic Talk 13:09, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Lol, that's a nice horse as it sounds. -- Halogod35 16:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

They belong in your user space. — Jon Lupen 20:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I moved your suggestion to User:Magic/Thunderstorm leaving a link in the topic. — Jon Lupen 20:53, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Mks, thanks for moving it and sorry for any troubles it cuase. Magic Talk 20:54, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No trouble at all. :) — Jon Lupen 20:55, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

As said on the regular user page.. I'm still a noob.. but I'll get a hang of this stuff eventually. XD Magic Talk 20:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unsigned comments

Hi, thanks for marking unsigned comments on Talk:Miniature. When doing it, please go through the history of the page to find out who the commentor was, and not use "Unknown User" because that's not very useful. The username part of {{unsigned}} must be an actual registered user for the template to work. See also {{unsigned2}} and {{unsigned ip}}. When using these templates prefix with "subst:" (substitution), for example: {{subst:Unsigned|Ab.er.rant}}. Hope this helps. Thanks. -- ab.er.rant 02:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I talked to WT afterwards. Still not sure about how "subst"'s work. :S Magic Talk 01:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

(Sorry for double post..) This whole unsigned comment thing really make sense to me? Say you replace the added signature with the persons IP "making" an account to note Contrinbutions.. But if a person posts somewhere else.. they aren't going to suddenly sign with the created account. If the IP changes, then the work done is wasted.. Etc, etc.. I started adding comment because someone I read you should. But doing it is 100% pointless. :S Magic Talk 02:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

"subst" inlines the actual template into the page, without a reference back to the template. It's just a technical thing and not very important.

You're misunderstanding what "unsigned" does and is used for. It does not "make" an account; it just creates a wikilink. It is not for someone to take credit. It is for identifying who made which comment when they don't sign - for the convenience of talk page readers, so someone doesn't have to click on "history" to find out. This is regardless of whether their IP is going to change or whether they're going to log in later. That doesn't matter. That person can choose to come back to his previously unlogged-in comment and then claim that it was made by him - it's up to the readers whether that's believeable or not. Again, the unsigned template is just to note who said what; it is not for keeping track of contributions.

You previously used "Unknown User" for an IP user. There is no user registered with "Unknown User", so it's an incorrect usage of the template, because "Unknown User" did not write that comment, an IP user did. That's what I meant in my first comment. -- ab.er.rant 08:55, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Well technically.. Unknown User doesn't have a user page but it is a user account.. But that completely besides the ponit. xD Magic Talk 20:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You're right, I didn't notice that "Unknown User" was an actual user account. But my point still stands (I hope you got it). It was not that account which made those comments. -- ab.er.rant 16:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Should I create a field for them under my info on my main page or crate a whole new page with the regular white background? Magic Talk 20:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, nvm.. lol. Magic Talk 20:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Depends if you have alot or not. 71.0.86.161 20:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rawr!

Thanks for the hex code. Also, first! =P -- Lacky 03:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Lawls, np. Really easy to find out. Just saved your paw, loaded into paint, chose the color picker, went to "edit colors", found the RGB, and loaded it into an RGB to Hex Color Slider.. just in case you need to do it again in the future. [1] Magic Talk 15:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I am sure that that is very easy, but it sounds incredibly hard. lol -- Lacky 03:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Alright

Seriously, fix your stupid signature and use the blinks wisely. There's a policy that says don't use crap that's very disturbing or attracts attention. In which case, blink. =D -- Halogod35 19:50, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Bleh.. policies.. fine. :P Magic Talk 20:12, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

/fixed Magic Talk 20:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. /cookie. =D -- Halogod35 00:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Good Bye Guild Wars

I'm posting this here because many of my wiki friends regularly patrol the "Recent Changes." I'm leaving both the wiki and the game as it (the game) is beyond dead. So to all my wiki friends.. good bye! Hopefully we'll meet up on other games or in GW2 (which at the time i still plan to buy). I've updated my archive page with a listing of all my user pages that can be deleted if anyone that sees this has access to do so. Special thanks out to Wandering Traveler, Wynthyst, Halogod35, for the help and chat convos in the past. Also, another thanks to Halogod35 & Why Are We Fighting for help on my profile. To bad now it'll still be there but unseen. So good bye to everyone! Hopefully the game will last for all of you. :) Magic Talk 02:27, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

No! Why? -- Lacky 07:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

WB. /cookie again -- Halogod35 23:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Meh...

Yeah.. fine.. I'm back. Hopefully for good eh? I'll fix my wiki pages later. And.. I guess I'll log in and make my changes to the wiki. Been tweaking lots of pages lately.. without logging in.. xD So yeah.. I'm backs. :3 Magic Talk 06:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Why is it that reading this wiki and all the BS people post on it makes me wanna leave it forever at night. :S Magic Talk 07:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
