Thanks for your help! I hope you'll stay around and help out from time to time.Matt (Talk) 21:15, October 31, 2008 (UTC)

That link you tried to put in is a navigation template. It is used only for users that have subpages. It is too early for you to you one. If you need help with the userboxes, just ask.Matt (Talk) 02:49, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

Look like you need more help. From the looks of it, you're looking at my userpage's code. If you read the part at the bottom it will say that I had to split my page up into subpages. A link with curly brackets {} is called a transclusion. It inserts whatever in on the page that is being called from into the target page. My links like {{User:Matt/Bio}} and {{User:Matt/nav}} are on subpages. just replacing my name with yours won't do anything since you don't have those subpages. And you don't need them yet. Most users actually never need them. It is really only used for very large pages. Mine was around 44,000 bytes when I decided to split it. That is a very large size for a wiki page. When it is that large, finding errors is a lot harder, and the loading time is a lot longer. It took me many months to get the page that big. I transcluded everything I split off back into the page. That means that all the content is still there. I currently have the largest page on the wiki. So you will not be needing subpages for many months, if ever. Don't be afraid to ask for help.Matt (Talk) 05:57, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

Question[]

Does anyone know how to make or suggest a user box? I want to make or have made a Kafei fan box. Zapdemon 17:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Just tell us exactly what you want, and we'll make it.Matt (Talk) 18:07, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

Look, You don't need this:

<div style="height:200px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px">{{:User:Zapdemon/Bio}}</div>

It doesn't do anything for you. And I'm Mjr162006. Not Mjr182006. Not every edit someone makes to your page is vandalism. Most are just users trying to help you.Matt (Talk) 21:23, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

Well, you didn't have to revert anything, because I already fixed the vandalism. And you don't need to keep backups on you computer. Just go to the page history, the tab that says history next to the move and edit tabs, and you can access any version of your page you want by clicking on a date.Matt (Talk) 02:36, November 3, 2008 (UTC)
Okay, if there is anything you want to put on your subpage that you don't want to cross over onto your userpage, then select it go to the bottom tool box and click on <noinclude></noinclude>. That will prevent whatever you don't want on your user page from being included.Matt (Talk) 02:51, November 3, 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm Matt now. I got renamed. Might want to change that.Matt (Talk) 16:23, November 17, 2008 (UTC)

Kafei[]

Generally, us main users will wait a week to oppose a nomination. With the current state of the article, they likely will. It'll have to be expanded. Any picture editing requests can go to either me or Steven. The article needs to have more information and sources. Just ask other users to help, and they generally will. I'd try Ando. Majora's Mask is his favorite game. He'd be good at expanding that article.Matt (Talk) 02:00, November 5, 2008 (UTC)

Nav Template.[]

Typically the nav template is put on your user page, talk page, and any subpages. But when you put it on subpages, make sure that it is surrounded by <noinclude></noinclude>. Otherwise, it will be repeated on your userpage if the subpage is included in it. If you want any help with making your nav template look better, just ask.Matt (Talk) 00:36, November 10, 2008 (UTC)
