Hi. How can I help you today? UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 19:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, TheThingy's signature helped me. I was trying to write my signature. How's this look? Xeno Cre8or _{Talk to me!}

Looks good to me. Feel free to ping TheThingy or myself if you need anything else. Best, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 19:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Wait a tic, it looks like your ^{isn't being closed with a}. The one I see is right before the link to User talk:Xeno_Cre8or. Other than that, looks good. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 19:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Much better! Best to you, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 19:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Next question: how do I get it so that when I type "~~~~", it looks like that?

OK, at the top right of your screen, you'll see some links - Your username, "My talk", and "My Preferences", among others. Click on preferences. About halfway down the first page you see, there will be options for the signature. You can hardcode it, which looks like it would work better for your sig, and there is a box where you will copy your code. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget to check the box marked "Raw Signature", so that the site doesn't re-format your signature. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, what I mean is: When I put it in exactly as is into the aforementioned box and click "raw", I get "Invalid Raw signature (check HTML tags)". But when I don't click "Raw", I get this as my signature: [[User:Xeno_Cre8or|<font color=orange><b>Xeno</b></font> <font color=blue><b>Cre8or</b></font>]] _{[[User talk:Xeno_Cre8or|<font color=green><b>Talk to me!</b></font>]]} (talk) 20:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Let's try this: <font color=orange><b>[[User:Xeno_Cre8or|Xeno]]</b></font> <font color=blue><b>[[Special:Contributions/Xeno Cre8or|Cre8or]]</b></font> _{<font color=green><b>[[User talk:Xeno_Cre8or|Talk to me!]]</b></font>}

Which creates: Xeno Cre8or _{Talk to me!}

I added a link to your contribs, but that was the only way I could think of to split the links. Alternatively, you could turn the contribs link into a second link to your userpage. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Even better: XenoCre80r _{Talk to me}, which is coded as [[User:Xeno_Cre8or|<span style="color:orange;font-weight:bold">Xeno</span>]][[User:Xeno_Cre8or|<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Cre80r</span>]] _{[[User talk:Xeno_Cre8or|<span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Talk to me!</span>]]}. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

THE LAST ONE WORKED! see? Xeno Cre8or _{Talk to me} 20:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Great! You can thank User:Rudget, as I stole the idea for using spans from his sig. Happy to help, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Your User Page

Hey Xeno. Glad to see things are well with you. I can't help but notice, however, that almost all of your contributions to the encyclopedia are in expanding a description of a game you're developing on your Userpage. While users have a wide latitude in determining how they use their userpage, Wikipedia is not a web host or a personal website, and everything posted to the userpage is supposed to relate to the project itself - expanding encyclopedia articles and so forth. If your intent is only to use the userpage for this purpose, I might suggest better websites for that purpose, where you'd have more flexibility. Any thoughts on your plans? Thanks, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 14:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Give me something to edit and I will when I have time. I started editing minor problems without a user, then I decided to get a user because my IP constantly changed. Since then I haven't found anything, so I decided to explain my username. Xeno Cre8or _{Talk to me!} 15:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem - you might check out Category:Articles that need to be wikified as a good place to start, as many of the problem articles there need simple fixes. Just wanted to drop a note, since it seemed unusual - no problem at all. Best, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:20, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

I Need Help. I'd like a couple of templtes for my user page. Is there a page where I can see the templtes and what to type to get them.

You could try Template:Infobox user, do you mean userboxes? Try WP:UBX. See also WP:UPDC. xenocidic (talk) 18:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I need to know how to make a template table. I'm in the Xanth Wiki, and I want to make a template of the Moons of Ida.

• Ugh, too many helpme templates. Try Help:Template. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 16:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
