Hi, welcome to the wiki. Here is one thing that will make things easier as you become acclimated to to tedious things like getting a link right...at the bottom next to save page first click the show preview button. This will allow you to proof-read and check your links before saving and logging it on the recent changes page. As you might have already seen, if you typed the link correctly, it will appear dark blue. If its wrong it will be red. External links are a lighter blue.

Happy wiking. I R F 02:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Sig Help

Hey, Lopp. I saw you were having trouble making your signature work. I don't know much about them myself, but I'd suggest you look at Help:Signature, which has been very helpful to others. Hope it helps. --DorianGray

jpgs

Hey, please use pngs for images from now on. Just some advice! Bluebry 02:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Images from Homestar Runner at least. --Dacheatbot · Communicate 02:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you were a little perplexed with how to do PNGs. Basically, you need an image program that can make them. I have Microsoft Photo Editor, that does it. My Paint does not, but I think some versions of Paint will. When you save an image, select how you want it saved, and see if PNG is listed. If not, you need to find a program that will.

By the way, an actual photo can be JPEG, and GIFs are OK if it's animated. But otherwise we use PNG here. Hope that helps! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  00:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Images

I see you've been uploading images lately. That's good! But you might want to read over the Image use policy before uploading any more. Thanks! — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 02:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, make sure to include the {{web-screenshot}} template on every image from Homestar Runner, unless not on the site and in phisical from, like a DVD screenshot (how is that phisical? I'm condfusing myself.) And uh, maybe a little info on the subject, like (from toon name). Happy Wiki-ing! Bluebry 02:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

No needpic

Please do not add the needpic template to any more articles. I have marked the template for deletion, and we need to square that away first. Thanks. — It's dot com 03:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Changing username

I noticed you tried to move all your user pages to User:Ten Ten... that's not your user name. If you want to make it your username, add yourself to the bottom of HRWiki:Changing username and let one of the admins change your username for you. Also, when you want to move a page, don't just create the new page with the old contents – at the top of the screen is a "move" link, that will quickly move the page, and will also keep the page history intact. --phlip ^T_C 03:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to delete the Ten Ten pages, partly for cleaning up and partly so it'll be possible to properly move your user page there if you do get your username changed. Here's the contents of User:Ten Ten/sig so you don't lose it when I delete it:

&mdash; http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/thorax.png [[User:Ten Ten|<span style="font-family:'Dauphin';color:#007070">'''en'''</span><small>^'''2'''</small>]]<small>_{([[User talk:Ten Ten|blah]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ten Ten|accomplish'd]])}</small>

Hey Lopp, sometimes it takes a bit for bureaucrats to get around to name changes. Please be patient; leaving messages on their talk pages is just going to annoy them. Heimstern Läufer 15:57, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I already have put my name on the HRWiki:Changing username, but everyone's ignoring my request. · · T²|_Things 12:31, 27 April 2006 (UTC) {Moved from User talk:Phlip}

It's been there for what, a day? Less? Be patient, man... And in future, keep the conversation all in one place, please. If I leave a note on your user talk, I'm going to watch there for replies. --phlip ^T_C 19:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Sincerely, everyone
