Question from Wonderdog31 (13:32, 8 March 2024)

Hi,

I tried creating my own page, I am Luke McGibney an actor and I have been referenced on Wikipedia hence I thought it would be an good idea to create an article about me.

I create a draft but not completed. I press published as i think that saves the draft but does not place it up on Wikipedia.

Sadly, I can't find it?

Can you save your article as you go along? If so how?

Thanks for your time.

Hi @Wonderdog31:, usually if you create a draft it should show up in your Contributions tab, though nothing shows up here for this. You can save the draft in progress as you go along and come back to it. Please note however that per WP:Autobiography it is strongly advised not to create an article about yourself. ser!

Hi Ser,
Thanks for getting back to me. How do you save a draft? That's the bit I don't understand?
I'm arising an article because I'm starting to get mentioned due to being in current roles.
I'm only looking to do a basic article unbiased about my career.
Hopefully that will be OK?
Thanks for your time 2A00:23C7:4A14:AC01:2D10:42A:94B:FD88 (talk) 18:24, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
To save a draft when you're working on it, you should press the "Publish changes" button in the editor and it will create or update the draft. I believe the autobiography guidelines apply regarding writing about yourself regardless, but if you want to write one it is recommended on that page that you use the WP:Articles for creation process to allow the article to be reviewed by other editors. Best of luck! ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 18:29, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hehehdhdhd (09:24, 9 March 2024)

Hello dear Ser! Im a relatively new editor, and as you can see on my user page under the "hhhh" that i have tried to make infoboxes, but unfortunately can't. Is there anyway you could provide me with information on how to make them? Thank you! :) --Hehehdhdhd (talk) 09:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Hehehdhdhd:, admittedly I'm not the best at creating infoboxes but I would recommend checking the page Help:Infobox for guidance on how to create. In addition, if you create them under a supbage (for example: User:Hehehdhdhd/Infobox name) you can add them to your page with the module {{User:Hehehdhdhd/Infobox name}}. ser!

Non-serendipitous close

Thanks for catching me closing the wrong ANI thread—I have no idea how the script did that, I thought it just ate my first attempt. Remsense 18:12, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello how can I create a citition --AP jaydee (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @AP jaydee:, if you use the visual editor there should be a "Cite" option which allows for generating citations. If that doesn't work, check out WP:Citing sources. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 16:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

This is not related to edits but is there a Dark Mode on Wikipedia???? (Edit) Light Hurts My Eyes 🔥👀--Weegie69 (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
