Helping people

Hiya! It's really awesome that you're already diving in and helping people. One thing, though... when you're helping someone who has used the {{helpme}} tag, you shouldn't delete their question; someone else may come along right after you and be able to expand on your answer (or you might show up at someone else's page and be able to give a better answer, too!). Instead, you should turn {{helpme}} into {{tnull|helpme}} when you answer their question. Cheers! [ roux ] [x] 20:29, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
