Welcome

Just wanted to say good job editing today! Hope to see you around these parts more. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 23:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Valhalla article

Hey! I copied your article from GFS Valhalla to G.F.S. Valhalla as I felt that's the correct spelling of the name (also used in the game). I also made a bunch of redirect pages to point to that location to make it more accessible. I had no intention to step on your toes there. Just felt like correcting a typo, that's all. ;)

Btw, good job on those edits. It's nice to see active people helping out around here.

Yeah, going through the wanted pages is a good place to start when you're looking for pages to edit. Although, I would advice against just placing a stub-template and nothing else. That removes the article from the wanted pages list, which some use to look for articles that need writing. Seeing that red link on pages might encourage people to actually contribute more ;)

Re: Infoboxes

So you want to create an entirely new type of infobox? Well, I haven't ever made one myself, I've just modified existing ones. But I would imagine it's fairly simple. If you go to an existing template e.g. Template:Character-infobox and click edit Edit, you can see the code for it. I suppose you could create a boss template by creating a page called Template:Name-of-template and copy-paste the code in there and make the changes you want.

But we already have a boss template. What kind of a template were thinking of making? If you were having trouble using existing infoboxes, then it's a matter of copying the right kind of code from any page that uses the same infobox and changing in new information.
