Forum:Tips and Tricks: A Guide For New Users

Hello new users! This guide is intended to help new users on Wikia to learn specific things and avoid certain mistakes. Ahem. Coughs.

How To:
This section shall tell how to do things such leave messages.

How To Sign:

You see, when leaving messages, you need to sign your name. You put: (~ ~ ~ ~).

To put just the siganture, put (~ ~ ~).

To put just the time (not recommended) put: (~ ~ ~ ~ ~)

How To Customize Your Signature:

This is something you should put off till later, but I shall teach you how to do it.

For example: my one say "Ahem. Coughs." You can make your's say anything.

To make your sig, go to the upper right corner where it says your username. On the drop down list, it says "My Preferences" under "My Talk." Click on it.

A new page will open it. Scroll down the page until you reach an area labeled Signature. There is a typing field in the section. If you wish to link it to your page, your talk page, or anywhere else, use the [[ as usual and the |.

For example: If someone named PJOFan999 wants their sig to say "I Rule" and "You Suck" they would do this:

[ [ User: PJOFan999|I Rule ] ] [ [ User talk: PJOFan999|You Suck ] ] without the spaces.

Then click save at the bottom.

How To Leave A Message:

To leave a message, go to someone's talk page and click "Leave a message." Then leave a message. Don't forget to sign!

How To Create A Page:

Click "Create New Page" on the left side above the Wiki Activity
