User talk:Silvaril

Welcome
Welcome, Silvaril, to Community Central!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. For finding a helper or a staff, speaking your language, see the page Staff and Helpers by language. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help revert spam and vandalism.

Enjoy!–– Σulãlíã 459 678 22:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Preload templates
I don't think there are any. If you want, I can set up some on your wiki myself. I'll try to write some help pages later on too for other people to read.--Richard 17:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah I see; I was thinking of another kind of preloaded templates. Those preloads allow users to select outlines so that people don't have to put templates an other things in themselves. For example, making a new article at Zeldapedia, such as "test", will allow users to select a "Character", "Enemy/Boss", "Item", or "Location" outline that will put in infoboxes automatically for them, so that all they have to do is fill in information (you can test this out by cliking one of the outlines). The "Character" outline uses Template:Newpage character; the "Enemy/Boss" outline uses Template:Newpage enemy; the "Item" outline uses Template:Newpage item; and the "Location" outline uses Template:Newpage location. The gray box that gives tips is located at Template:Newpage instructions. You can view Zeldapedia's code at MediaWiki:Newarticletext too. Also, sorry about taking so long to reply.--Richardtalk 19:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What is currently on your wiki is a sample; there are no preloaded templates on your wiki yet. You can make your own though by following that code. For example, the current code is basically

The location of the preloaded template is Template:Preloads/Lore. You can make your own preload at Template:Preloads/Whatever, such as

which would look like --Richardtalk 20:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
