[edit] User page

About that line saying you're too young to edit Wikipedia, I can tell you there are Wikipedians younger than 13 out there. Cheers to 2007! User:Sp3000 01:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

What type of userbox do you want? Usually I use these two links:

• WP:UBX
• Web colors

(BTW, personally I'm under 13 :) ) Cheers to 2007! User:Sp3000 01:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Preview

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again.

[edit] Online

Okay, I went ahead and created these pages for you: User:Kornfan71/Status2 and User:Kornfan71/StatusChange2. StatusChange2 has all the identification stuff, and you can control your status with /Status2. At /Status2, where it currently reads "Online", change it to "Offline" or "Busy" and you can get the customized sign for that. To put it on your user/user talk page, just type {{User:Kornfan71/Status2}} and then it will show up. Hope that helps! Nishkid64 20:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page histories

I'm not aware of it being possible to do this except perhaps in extreme cases involving libel and the like. It's the closest thing Wikipedia can have to a "paper trail" so I think it's considered important for accountability. You might be able to find out if it's possible by asking a question at the Helpdesk. It's possible higher-ups might be able to do this. 23skidoo 01:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Kornfan71! It's possible, but in your case, it might not be necessary. If you move the page to a subpage, for example, User:Kornfan71/Sandbox, and then go back to your original user page (it will redirect to the subpage, but just click the "Redirected from User:Kornfan71" link), you can restore your user page's code. This way, the history stays in the subpage instead of your main user page. If you want, you can ask a sysop to delete the subpage by adding {{db-userreq}} to it. Here's my explanation step-by-step:

1. Move User:Kornfan71 to User:Kornfan71/Sandbox by clicking the move page link and following the steps there.
2. The page history is moved.
3. Go back to your original page (directions stated above).
4. Restore the code there.

Happy editing! —S.D. ¿п? 13:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Your edit to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll has been reverted - "spelt" is not disagreeable, nor were they spelling errors, they are standard British English. -- Arwel (talk) 19:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
