Nav Bar
Hi!
I was just wondering what the language is for your navigation bar? I wanted to have one to but I can't seem the find out how to make one. PLZ REPLY?

- My nav bar, like all pages on the wiki, is written in Wikicode. Wikicode involves a fair amount of html as well. Aside from that help page I linked, the best way to figure out how to use it yourself is to try it. Copy the code, remove a bit and preview. Whatever no longer works is what that bit of code does. I would appreciate it if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save though. I'd rather you figure out how it works and remake it in your own style. Just remember that the page for your nav bar is in your userspace, so the one edit per day limit includes that page - you'll have to wait until the next server day to add the navbar to your main userpage.

Questions
2 of 'em-
(1) How do you make your userpage backround bulba color dark?
(2) How do you make your userbox so it has [show] and [hide] options?
After I learn how to, this will be my final major edit to my u page. And I'll focus 100% on my edits (Before was like 45%.) Thanks twice- ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 20:52, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Put a table or div that covers the whole page with the style "
background: #{{bulba color dark}};". If you need to, copy the coding for the exterior border on my talk page, remove the border bit and add that coding to it.
- They userboxes are in a table with the class "expandable" (defaults to closed) or "collapsible" (defaults to open). Each row that should always show as a header for the following hidden bit should also have the expandable/collapsible class. Note that it doesn't work if the row has the class but the table as a whole doesn't, and you can mix-and-match the two in the same table. It still works if the table has expandable but every cell has collapsible, vice versa, or any other combination. Have a fiddle with the coding from my page if my explanation's a bit confusing. That said, I would appreciate if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save. I'd rather you figure out how it works and add your own flair. Werdnae (talk) 23:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- (1) Thanks, it works perfectly, BUT! I have coding for my userbox that I need to use a |} thing on so all of my page isn't stuck in my userbox, and the final product is a thick
that's colored bulba color dark with a dark color border (I meant for the border to happen.)
How can I fix it?
(2) I'll figure it out. Thanks times two! ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 17:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I assume you're using a table? You can have a table inside a table. Just make sure that all the content for the part of the page is inside a cell of the outer table. If it's not in a cell then it won't work properly. Werdnae (talk) 07:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late update. I gave up for now. I'll keep working on the expandable thing, but I need a cheat sheet or something. I would just look on wikipedia but I can't go on that. Also, I think a "bad grammar" template would be great. Draft:
{| align="center" style="background: #{{rock color}}; border: 3px solid #{{poison color}}; width: 90%; {{roundy|40px}}"
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; padding: 10px; {{roundy|50px}}" align="center" | [[Image:049Venomoth.png|100px]]
| '''This {{{1|article}}} is exhibiting many grammatical errors. Please feel free to refine the grammar in this article and enhance Bulbapedia's viewer's experiences. Bulbapedia thanks you.
|}.
I think this template would be helpful because: One- It would let grammar and spelling freaks like myself flock to these pages and beautify them, and Two- It adds an alternative to Template:Rewording and Template: Cleanup. If you dislike the simplicity I will either try to "fancy it up" or wait eight years, go to college, take a class in computer programming, and try then. Or you'll do it. Thanks- ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 23:25, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've run it by a couple of other admins, and we feel that we don't really need either that or the reword one. If it's something simple, it can just be fixed when it's noticed - it's as much work to put on the template it as it is to fix. If it's extensive it probably needs a general cleanup too. IMO, Cleanup should be used where there's poor grammar, a reword is needed or it needs reformatting. Werdnae (talk) 10:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, then. So much for that idea. But I need help again for something- I was looking at navs for ideas for my own, and I saw yours. But it was covered with "<sc>...</sc>" Wuzzat? 2. One last question- I have Another page, with a bluetable stolen from MAGNEDETH, and I have no idea what class="c" and class="l" are. Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks! ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 13:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- The <sc> tag puts things in Small Caps. The classes are defined here for your future reference. The classes l and c make the text left and center aligned respectively. Werdnae (talk) 05:17, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks a zillion! ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 15:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- One more thing- I am working on an article, List of Legendary Pokémon, but my template doesn't work. It needs extra coding taken from the template itself to work. Can you tell me how to fix this? Thank you! ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 21:49, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Your template is only the rows. It doesn't have the header in it, (otherwise the rows would break). You need to open the table and put in the headers on the page itself. Basically, the template is telling it to put rows into a table which you haven't made exist on the page. Werdnae (talk) 21:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- How do you make a header? Do I make a page called "User:Focus58/LOLPh" and write
{| align="center" style="background: #{{arceus color light}}; border: 2px solid #{{arceus color}};{{roundy|10px}}"
|-
|
{| border=1 width="100%" align="center" class="sortable" style="background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{arceus color light}}; border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style="background:#{{arceus color light}}"
! [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|#]]
! Sprite
! Name
! Introduced</noinclude>? Or something else? Thanks, ♣♣ Ƒǿҫὑṩ ❺❽ ♣♣ 23:05, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- resetting indent If it's just going to be used on one page there's no point in a header template. Just put that code (without the noinclude tags) above the rest of the table. Werdnae (talk) 23:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
My Sig
Thank You so much for the signature help. I have one question though; how can a make a box to put my images in like for example that box that pokemon sprites are in on their own pages? PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC) PokePrincess

- The coding for the current sprite box can be found here, but when you actually include the coding for the subtemplates as well it's remarkably complex because it has to take into account a lot of different scenarios. If you simply want to make a coloured box to put sprites in, then you'd be better off using a simple table. Table basics can be found on Bulbapedia:Wikicode, and I'd suggest looking at the coding for the table section for the background and border coding. Most of that coding is pretty self-explanatory, especially when combined with what the page content. Also, just a note that there's a restriction on when you can edit your userpage - there's a minimum time limit and a minimum mainspace edit limit. It's great to see you're working towards the mainspace edit limit, if you haven't already reached it (I don't know the exact numbers), But you may need to wait a couple of weeks before it will let you edit it. Further details on that can be found on the Userspace policy.
- Also, could I get you to change your sig code in your preferences to
[[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]] please? We need it to actually have a link. If you would like to further customise your sig feel free, just ask if you need help. Werdnae (talk) 22:02, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
I am terribly sorry about my adding of trivia. I will punish myself and never do again. Besides what I am. How long will it be before I can edit my mainspace. PokePrincess 00:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 00:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- The mainspace can be edited by anyone. The userspace has a time and edit limit, the exact number and length of which I don't know. If Special:Preferences says you're a member of autoconfirmed, you can edit it. Once you can, remember the one-edit-per-day limit though. If you want to test out how templates work, they work just as well in previews as they do when the page is saved, so there's no need to save the page. Werdnae (talk) 00:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Just dropping this here for you
For your opinions and such to replace the current two pages. I just merged them together with a cool table too. Kogs mentioned something else being added later, but it escapes me right now but I can find the log. Cheers. --P S Yライダー☮ 16:47, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- Looking good so far Psy. Definitely agree with merging the two articles, maybe even just replacing the MD section on Rank with that. Werdnae (talk) 19:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
