[edit] Tag Help

What does this tag mean? <!-- FC:Insert text here--> Worldtravller 01:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure. What was the context? joshbuddy 03:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's not a regular tag. I believe it's used as a placeholder, so that you know where to put information, or text in your example. It has zero effect on the final view of a page, because it only shows up when you go to the edit tab. Jfingers88 04:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

It's HTML code, and it is meant as a comment box, whatever you put inside won't show up on the page, as Jfingers notes. Cheers. Jesushaces P.S. do you need any more help?

[edit] Helpme

Was your helpme question answered adequately? If not you can ask me a question here, I will check back.--Commander Keane 07:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC) Yes it was. Thanks. Worldtravller 13:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{book reference}} vs. {{cite book}}

What's the difference between these two tags? And is one better than the other? If so why? Worldtravller 16:21, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll take a look, new talk page messages are normally put at the bottom of the page, not the top please try and do so, including with the help me tag as it helps people locate your questions. --pgk^(talk) 16:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, according to {{book reference}}, that template is deprecated, and {{cite book}} should be used instead. Hope this helps. — TheKMan^talk 16:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. Worldtravller 16:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
