-	Hey dot com! I just wanted to say I’m sorry about a lot of things. 1. Sorry for asking a lot of dumb questions about random ideas I have, that probably wouldn’t help the wiki at all. And, finally, number 2, I’m sorry about trying to get users to contact my old Reddit friend so we could stay in touch. It was a really stupid idea, especially because the only thing it would help was me having a friend to geek out about nerdy stuff. I’m sorry about those things, and I’ll try my hardest not to do them again, because those things don’t help the wiki. [[User:TMBGLOVER\|I wanna be the TMBGLOVER too!]] 14:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

	Hi! I'm making a wiki of my own covering an incredibly prolific YouTuber who's made hundreds of videos over several years. I love the layout that HR wiki uses for navigation since it really allows for a user to see the evolution of someone's content. However, part of my wiki's job is to act as an archive, so it can get really messy really quickly when I have to reorder video navigation for one reason or another. I noticed this wiki uses a custom parser function and navigation template to help make managing navigation easier, so I was wondering if it would be possible for you to direct me to some good resources to try to figure out how to make my own?

		+
		+	My experience with code has mostly been limited to some work in Java, as well as PHP and a bit of Lua for my own wiki. I'm not super experienced when it comes to writing something custom, but I can usually figure something out when I'm determined enough and have the right resources at hand. I've been really struggling to figure out how to do this by myself, so any guidance you could provide would be wonderful. If you would like, I can give you my email so we can talk a bit further.
