The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
You've beaten me to several reverts now, despite the fact that you're not using any specialist tools, and seem quite new at all this! Well done! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 10:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Standardized user warnings

I just thought I'd mention that there are ready-made messages for most cases of vandalism at WP:UTM... You are of course welcome to compose personal messages if you want Ksero 10:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notices

Hi Drydom, I ran across this page while doing Help Desk monitoring, and I'm curious to know if you're using templates, or typing the notices up by hand? If you're using a template, could you please let me know exactly which template that was, as there is an error in it, it should not be adding the {{helpme}} to the user's page, it should simply show the template format. If you're typing them up by hand, please use the template link, via {{tl|helpme}} which will allow the editor to click on the template to see what it does, but also has the added bonus of not actually placing the template on the page. Also, it would be super helpful to the editor, and to other editors who may need to warn the user, or review the user's contributions, if you would use the additional "article" parameter in templates, as you can see in the documentation here: {{uw-delete1}}, you would type: {{subst:uw-delete1|Article|Additional text}} . If you know all of this, and it was some other error, feel free to ignore me! Cheers, ArielGold 05:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

O- sorry, you were partly right, i accidentally merged it with another greeting template in "greeting newcomers" here. It has the problem you've described. thx for telling me about this.Drydom 10:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

LOL No worries! I've done that, actually. I ended up wanting to use parts of 3-4 templates, so just made my own, lol. Glad to know it isn't a template issue, I'm not the world's best coder, hee hee. Thanks for the reply! ArielGold 17:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: note

Thanks for your note. Yeah, I had just figured that out myself, and was about to do that very thing. It's getting harder and harder to edit as an ip here. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 11:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
