Questions and tips

Feel free to ask anything here or on my talk page.

Q: The UDWiki navigation bar (to your left) is bumped to the bottom of the page. Why? It's because you probably have unclosed tables on your page. You can fix it by adding some table closers: |} or and the problem will be fixed. (Karek figured this one out) Q: There's this template that I want, but I want to change the color/wording. How can I do this without making a new template? The easiest way is to subst the template. This can be done by typing {{subst:templatename}}. Q: What does "breaking templates" mean? Sometimes, when a page has too many templates on it, the ones at the bottom will "break" meaning it will no longer be a template, but a link to the page. E.g. :   AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! becomes User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig. Q: Mah templated sig isn't working! 'Elp! Do you have this: {{SUBST:Nosubst|User:YourName/Sig}} in the nickname field under 'my preferences?' Make sure that you've spelt everything correctly, so for User:Bob/Sig you would place {{SUBST:Nosubst|User:Bob/Sig}} Also, make sure you have 'Raw signatures (without automatic link)' checked.
