Welcome To My Page

Thanks for visiting my User talk page! Please feel free to leave me messages regarding any aspect of my editing on Wikipedia (click here to say something). My only request is that you sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~), which will automatically add your name and the date. (It helps so I know who said what, and when, and it will make it much easier for me to address your issue and reply to you.)

I hope that both of us can contribute positively to this project! Thanks for dropping by! --FinFangFoom, from the golf cart capitol of the world Peachtree City, Georgia

Tip of the day...

Using templates

Templates are a type of page that contain boilerplate text that is intended to be displayed on more than one page in Wikipedia.

This Tip of the day box is an example of a template (there are several versions actually), and besides being displayed here it is displayed on many userpages as well.

Template names start with the prefix "Template:" followed by the page name. The main version of the template you are reading right now is called "Template:totd".

To display a template on a page, go to the target page, click "edit", and add the template's name (with or without the prefix) surrounded by double curly brackets to the page's source text. (The text you see in the edit box when you click edit this page is called "source text", because it is a lot like programming code, which is called "source code").

Including a template on a page in this way is called "transclusion". Here's an example:

To include the Template:Philosophy topics, type this at the end of the philosophy article you wish to place it on::
