May I suggest that you create a user page, even if it is just a simple hello? It makes others take you more seriously because the red link to your page stands out so much.--naryathegreat | (talk) 04:01, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Your welcome. I'm glad you've decided to stay and help out. By the way, if you'll notice, user pages are in the form of User:Name -- This means that [[Naryathegreat]] is a red link to a blank page. You have to type [[User:Naryathegreat]] to get the link to the page. You can also do [[User:Naryathegreat|Naryathegreat]]. When you format any link in this way, place the real page name before the | and what you want the link to say after it. For instance, click here to find out a lot more about this. Obviously the page is not named "here" what I wrote was [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page#Links and URLs|here]]. For links in a namespace (the prior link is in the "Wikipedia" namespace, or the part before the colon). If I wanted to link to my user page, I could use a little trick called piping. If all I want to do is get rid of the namespace, in this case User:, then I can type [[User:Naryathegreat|]], and the software automatically fills in the part after the | with Naryathegreat. This is a cool trick it took me a long time to learn. I hope it helps you. I told you all this because of the link of your user page, which is "broken". I would fix it, but it's taboo on Wikipedia to touch other people's user pages. Feel free to contact me with any questions.--naryathegreat | (talk) 02:50, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
