[edit] About me

Almost everyone I meet eventually asks me "Who are you dinnerbone?" - well... I'm just me. Nothing fancy, I'm not special or anything like that, I'm just me. A random guy who likes to see things run smoothly. Please note that I don't have much time for WP lately, but I will try to visit now and again.

[edit] Subpages

[edit] Templates

Everyone is free to use and modify these templates. If you have any questions related to the templates, leave a message on either it's talk page or mine.


[edit] "Help me, I'm new!"

New to wikipedia? I will be glad to answer any questions you may have! Just leave a message on my Talk Page and I will respond ASAP.

[edit] "Leave you a message? How?"

To leave messages is fairly simple. First, goto the talk page (ie, my talk page), then click the + (located to the right of "edit this page", may be different if you use a different theme). Put a title to your message in the "subject/headline" box, and your message in the big box below it. Sign your message by putting 4 tildes (like this: ~~~~) at the end of your message. Preview your message, then submit it.

More details on talk pages can be found here.

[edit] Things I have done that may involve you

[edit] "Hey, you edited my user page!"

If I have edited your user page, the chances are I was removing categories from it. These are always categories that your user page was not meant to be listed under, and so I remove them to restore organisation in the category.

When you insert a template (User boxes, headers, etc.) into your user page, you shouldn't use subst unless told otherwise by the template itself (The usage is almost always listed under it's talk page, so check that). If you subst a template, it is essentially copying and pasting the template into your page. This includes any categories the template is listed under.

To avoid listing your user page under any unwanted categories, don't subst it, just include it as normal (ie, {{user ActionScript}} instead of {{subst:user ActionScript}})

[edit] "Why did you revert my edits?"

I will try my best to only revert vandalism. If I have reverted your edits, the chances are I have mistaken your edits as vandalism. If your edits were not vandalsim, please drop me a message on my talk page. Everyone makes mistakes!
