  Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Template:User AfC/doc. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write.

Thank you for the feedback. As a new editor, I’m still learning the process. I’ll make sure to use the sandbox for any experimental edits in the future. Your guidance is appreciated! T24boo 20:22, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
