User talk:Tyrving

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

G'day

Mate, just dive in! If you want to edit something that nobody will notice, try User:Tyrving/Sandbox. Click the link, create a new page and try things out. When you get them right, go back to the edit screen and copy/paste into the article where you want it. But hey, it's a wiki - if you get the markup wrong someone will tell you what you should have done differently. Use the History view to see how other ppl have done things - the good news is a lot of edits are small ones so it's easy to see how it works once you work out the history view. Good editing and good gaming.GarrieIrons 05:35, 13 February 2008 (EST)

PS: Any page that starts with [[User:Tyrving/]] is a sub-page from your user account, like a document inside a folder. It is as close as you will get to owning something on a wiki. It is rare for anyone to care what gets put in user sub-pages.GarrieIrons 05:37, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks for the tips. I think I'll play around for a while on the sandbox page and get things felt out a bit, then try a couple of little things with my user page. --Tyrving 23:27, 13 February 2008 (EST)
