Signature Ideas?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I really need to change my signature. I mean, let's face it, Steven (Tell me something...) input = cookie_dough. machine = oven. output = cookie. , is just a little awkward. Does anyone have any ideas?

@Kingstevenrules: Make it much shorter, and don't use the helpme template for this sort of thing in the future. --MarkTraceur (talk) 17:32, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Userpage problems

Hey guys, TPM here. I'm not sure how, but I've screwed up my userpage. Can I get a little help with this? --The Phase Master (talk) 13:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

I had a quick look, but don't immediately see what the problem is. It's almost certainly due to a missing bracket. Here's how to sort it out yourself: you can always go back to a previous version, starting with the page history.

If there's just one change that has cause the problem, use "undo" near the end of the line.
If you want to go further back, click on the time-and-date near the left of the line for the revision you want. That will show it to you. Now click "edit source", ignore the warning "You are editing an old revision of this page", and click "Save page".

Now you are back to a good version. Start over making the changes you want, but do it a few at a time and click "Show preview" regularly so that you can see if a problem arises. JohnCD (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

@JohnCD Alright, I'll try this. I'll ping you again if I still need help (or if I fixed it, in which case I'll probably give you a Special Barnstar).

@JohnCD I love you (not litteraly though, cause that would be kinda weird, lol). But still, thanks. I'll put a Special BS on your talk.

Back to work.

Well, it looks like Vandals Anonymous has awoken for the day. Yaaaay. ^[sarcasm]

Just a quick IP address check. --TPM

208.87.239.180 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:50, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

If anyone's wondering...

If anyone is wondering why I added the shared educational IP notice at User talk:208.87.239.180, it's because I logged out, posted an anon comment on my talk page, logged back in, followed the IP to the IP talk page, and there I was. But, I saw that the page had no Shared IP notice. So, I put one up, adding the school where I'm currently at.

Wait, what?

How is this edit not vandalism? Is it because it was done by the page author?

Oh hell.

So. It's happened. Wikipedia's reached WDEFCON 1.

General Quarters, all hands. Man Battle Stations, and prepare for severe vandalism.

Eh?

I'm gonna get banned for this, aren't I? (Hopefully not)

Nope, but it was a bit silly. Graham87 03:29, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

No thanks; block notices aren't usually used anymore except for long-term editors, and they are never used for IP editors. Graham87 02:00, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
