Hello LupoStesso!

Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


Don't worry too much about being perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but you can click here to see how you can avoid making some common ones.

If you are still stuck, you can type {{helpme}} here, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Or, you can join the newcomer's help room at: #wikipedia-en-help connect, where volunteers can answer your questions.

If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user, such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to be BOLD! —Legoktm (talk) 09:01, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Documentation on { { Things } }

edit

Where can I find documentation on certain things like { {reflist} } and { {refend} }?? LupoStesso (talk) 23:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

See template:reflist and template:refend. Legoktm (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Lego! LupoStesso (talk) 23:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
No problem. In the future, you can link to those templates by using a special template called "tl". Just use {{tl|template name}}. So an example would be {{tl|reflist}} turns into {{reflist}}. Legoktm (talk) 02:16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
That seems very useful, as well as the code and nowiki tags. LupoStesso (talk) 03:02, 31 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
