Usertags

You kinda didn't type them in right. It's {{User LeafGreen}}, not {{user leafgreen}}. Capitalization and correct wikicode will help you a lot, as you could note from your last edit of the page on alternate coloration... you forgot to close the chart, and you put the pink Butterfree in the space for what I like to call "row-spanning formatting". For example, say you have a chart that goes like this:

{|
! Pokémon
! Kanto Dex
! Johto Dex
! Hoenn Dex
! Sinnoh Dex
|- bgcolor="#{{grass color}}"
| Bulbasaur
| 001
| 226
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{fire color}}"
| Charmander
| 004
| 229
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{water color}}"
| Squirtle
| 007
| 232
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{electric color}}"
| Pikachu
| 025
| 022
| 156
| 104
|}

That's the raw coding for what appears below. Notice how the |} appears at the end, which you left out, and how each entry has either a "!" or a "|" before it, depending on if it's to be a header or just an entry.

Pokémon Kanto Dex Johto Dex Hoenn Dex Sinnoh Dex
Bulbasaur 001 226 --- ---
Charmander 004 229 --- ---
Squirtle 007 232 --- ---
Pikachu 025 022 156 104

See, this is because if you accidentally leave out the |}, you end up with what appears below:

Pokémon Kanto Dex Johto Dex Hoenn Dex Sinnoh Dex
Bulbasaur 001 226 --- ---
Charmander 004 229 --- ---
Squirtle 007 232 --- ---
Pikachu 025 022 156 104

Doesn't this mess everything up?

And now on to usertags

Hey look, it's still in the yellow box that has Pikachu's Sinnoh Dex number! This is why it's important to close these things: the rest of the page below it gets stuck in the chart.

Anyway, what you should really do is put "<div class="userbox" style="width: 230pt;">" before any and all usertags, and then after all of them, put "</div>" This confines them to the right side of the page. Now if anything's gonna mess up this "in the yellow area" text, it'll be me doing this...

Spr 1b 006.png This user is a player of Pokémon Red Version.
Spr 3f 006.png This user is a player of Pokémon FireRed Version.

And if you don't close that thing... well, crap, you're stuck with the rest of the page in that too.

I would assume that you don't really want that... but hey, some type in their usertag area... I'd just recommend closing these things, they'll screw with your formatting after the box if you forget to. This concludes my demonstration of "how to screw up formatting". You can fix it if you like so it doesn't look like this beyond my example. TTEchidna 19:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


Thanks. But the bad chart makes me feel bad. :( ):

Well, fixed it now is. TTEchidna 07:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Templates

You should put {{User Starter|004|Charmander}} and {{User Favorite|045|Golbat}} to get what you were trying to get. --Shiny Noctowl File:376MS.gifFind the secret page!File:224MS.gif The oboe is the best instrument ever! 21:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
