Template talk:Welcome/Archive1

So, what does everyone think? TTEchidna^G_SDS! 06:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I love it but I think manual of style should be capitalized. It's the best article on the website! (i think)^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 06:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not in title case because that's the rule. Doy. TTEchidna^G_SDS! 07:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I like it as well. File:Ani413MS.gifAgggron (Talk | Edits)File:Ani412MS.gif

To think I started this...Optimatum♏^Talk|♊Hi 07:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Niiiice. :0 A...although the Help:Editing article kinda sucks. Lol. Tina ^δ♫ 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Uh... TTE? In the includeonly parts, it includes your signature.. uh, could that be fixed..? Tina ^δ♫ 18:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I fixed it. I tried to make it includeonly the tildes. Maybe if I do them individually... TTEchidna^G_SDS! 22:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Still no. We gotta sign it manually. TTEchidna^G_SDS! 22:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Two Questions

1. Can we add ==Welcome to the top of the template?

2. Can an admin (*coughs at TTEchidna*) make a bot that will automatically put this on a user's talk page when their account is created?

Thanks. --Theryguy512 21:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

1. That can be done, sure.
2. I'm not the bot guy. I've got zero clues about programming a mediawiki bot. Besides, new users are in RC so you can see them anyway. TTEchidna^G_SDS! 23:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Bytes

Why do we have to put the subst: thing in? When we do, we waste about 1900 bytes. But if we just put the {{welcome}} thing, we waste only 13 bytes.^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 17:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Because, having it update automatically on alllll those new usertalk pages is a pain in the ass for a server. Sure, we do it for our signatures too but let's not be hard on our server.. Tina ^δ♫ 19:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah. That was the first thing bugging me, right next to how you made your avatar.^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 19:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I made it in Photoshop, based off of the Swimmer class I believe.. Tina ^δ♫ 19:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea. I knew the photoshop thing, just not the swimmer class thing. And I forgot what photoshop is again.^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 19:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. Found it on wikipedia. hope you don't get an edit conflict.^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 19:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Request

Ask the new suers to make more contribs in the main namespace. PLEASE??? Optimatum^Talk|♊09:16 14 Mar 2008

I was about to say something about how most edits are in the user namespace and how people should actually contribute... seriously though, I think this should be added /: Seeing all these fanfic edits and whatnot are rather depressing! Tina ^δ♫ 20:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

-nods in agreement- The situation's getting so out of hand, they're traeting it as a blog now...Optimatum^Talk|♊13:38 20 Mar 2008

Hmm, I've thought about it. Should we add a section that says:

• BULBAPEDIA IS NOT WIKIPEDIA. BULBAPEDIA HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LICENSE AND STYLE.

Just wondering...Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links07:46 18 May 2008

I was reading this and...

i noticed it mentioned you can post in the namespace shouldnt that be fixed scence its not alowed?~kittenchild

See User:Pachirisulover12's talkpage--KukiTalk 23:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

And in the first place: WHAT THE ---- DO YOU MEAN? Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links10:31 25 May 2008

Automatic signature!

I figured out how to do an automatic signature! Check here and here! I can't add it because only sysops can edit the template. Here's the code I used:

--~<noinclude></noinclude>~<noinclude></noinclude>~<noinclude></noinclude>~

It only works if you use {{SUBST:}}, it just displays --~~~~ if you use the template code. Shiny Noctowl 20:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Grammar error

"A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here."

The comma should be removed between the words "problem" and "can". Also, I think it was unnecessary to put that a capital "P" is typed with Shift+p. --S^hi_ny ^No_ct^ow_l 13:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. I messed around with the explanation for typing é as well, since "Alt + 0233" isn't the clearest explanation in my eyes... -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

So each and every time I edit this...

It looks more and more like a wall of text that I'm sure new users often ignore. Any ideas on how to remedy this? TTEchidna 09:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Make the text size smaller. :) Glinn Mgraw 09:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
