New editors should wait after 'quite a few edits before even thinking about new projects - take care, time is an important part of getting a handle of how the place works.JarrahTree 10:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Userboxes
editHi, can someone help me with how to create Userboxes for my userpage? FireToWater (Let's Talk!) 07:27, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Like most topics where you want help or advice, including on policy, try using the search box (top right) with the prefix "WP:" to the item you need to find. So WP:USERBOX is the direct link to an article on the creation of Userboxes. However, don't spend ages adding them to your User Page: most of your time should be spent improving articles in the main encyclopaedia. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:53, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

How do I create an Infobox for my sandbox article? FireToWater (Let's Talk!) 21:19, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- It will depend on what your article is about. There're many Infoboxes. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- My recommendation is to forego creating an infobox for a draft. They do not help get the draft accepted and present a number of problems of their own that you should not be dealing with while working on a draft. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:47, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Signature problem
editI recommend that you change your signature so that it more clearly identifies your username. Also, the link to your user talk page is not working for reasons that are not immediately clear to me. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Jmcgnh: Hi, thanks for the assistance. I don't get that the link to my user talk page doesn't work for you, as I just tried it and it works for me. Try reloading the page and clicking the link, or maybe log out and log in again and clicking the link? Or should I change the signature all together? FireToWater (Let's Talk!) 22:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Your signature is just fine, however you need to link your talk page. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:39, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- LOL, nevermind your talk page, Duh it's not linked here because its on the page it links to, so the link is shown in black. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, flight time has explained the problem I was having. I still recommend changing your sig so it more obviously shows your username. It's not required, but I'm just recommending it for the sake of facilitating clear communication.— jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 22:50, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Jmcgnh: Wil do. FireToWater (Let's Talk!) 13:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
