Help

{{helpme}} I can't seem to figure out how to use user templates, despite all the pages on the subject. Anyone?

To be more specific: on many occasions I wish to print my name, username and links to my talk and contrib pages. But I just don't get how to use the user templates, the help pages are very fuzzy on this (am profoundly sorry if this insults anyone).

Hi WKoets. No one would be insulted by that! Wikipedia is overwhelmingly huge and man do we have a lot of instruction pages that are not written with the clarity one would hope. It sounds to me as if you are not having trouble with templates per se, but with signing, which automatically places your signature, a link to your talk page, and a time stamp without you having to do it manually. To do this, you simply type four tildes after a post, like this: ~~~~. When you save a post with these four tildes it automatically formats as I noted. See Wikipedia:Signatures for further information. If this is not what you meant, please feel free to post the {{helpme}} template again. At the end of this sentence I will type four tildes, and when I save you will see it as my signature.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I did know about signing with four tildes but how about adding my name to this list? I copied the code from another person but am sure there is a shortcut for this. Any ideas?

You did it correctly :) Pmlineditor ∞ 16:45, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
