• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the kind words - it's always nice to know, even occasionally, that one's efforts are appreciated. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:40, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DW-stub picture

Any of the preferred formats upload formats is fine, and dimensions we can always handle later in the wiki markup. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:15, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Go to Special:Upload - the instructions should be there. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:53, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Category

Hi! Your user page wasn't vandalized. I removed the Category:Indiana Wikipedians cat from your User page as it is being merged into Category:Wikipedians in Indiana -- which you were already set up ;-). Take care!! Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 03:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sig

You can alter it in your preferences (ticking the "raw signatures" option and then filling in whatever you want your signature to be in raw wikicode in the "Nickname" field ). For example, mine is [[User:Khaosworks|khaosworks]] ([[User talk:Khaosworks|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Khaosworks|contribs]]) Hope this helps. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Italics in Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a special case, because we have serials, not just episodes. What I've been doing ever since the whole thing started is tom follow the convention used in all the officially licensed Doctor Who material (Doctor Who Magazine, the Discontinuity Guide, the Television Companion, etc.) which italicises all the story titles. So it's a style thing within the Wikiproject. There's discussions on this somewhere. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Here's one time it was raised. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
