Wikipedia This is the only way I can create m y own personal articles.... Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

There is no such thing as a "personal article". You may not use your user space to host your fantasy league, simulation process, or other such items. —C.Fred (talk) 19:48, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred this is the only place that will work properly for my work Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 19:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Not true. If you really need the MediaWiki engine, you can install it on your own computer. I have. So, please explain what the Wikipedia project gains by your user page. We already have an article on the 2005 Formula I season. What is a spreadsheet championship? —C.Fred (talk) 19:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

In other words, you're using Wikipedia to host your fantasy league. —C.Fred (talk) 19:53, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

(talk) Only on my Userpage though.... Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 19:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Still, it's specifically disallowed. See WP:UP#GAMES. —C.Fred (talk) 19:57, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

(talk) Ok.. I understand that,,,, Can you tell me where I can create my spreadsheet championship page? Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 19:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

If it's really just a spreadsheet, create a Google account and put the spreadsheet in Google's free spreadsheet. Otherwise, pick the web host of your choice and create a page there. —C.Fred (talk) 20:11, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

(talk) you can call the stuff I created as "Shite." I don't mind what you call it. Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 20:09, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not the place for you to host an exciting game. —C.Fred (talk) 20:20, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred Ok.... Would I be able to do my championships on MediaWiki? Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes. You'll have to install MediaWiki on your computer. I've done that on a computer behind my firewall that I use to track some things I do related to sports. —C.Fred (talk) 20:25, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred Could I do it online?? Or does it 100% needs to be downloaded? Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred Ok.... So once I start on MediaWiki, I could have my spreadsheet championships on there? Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 20:29, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yep. Once you install it, you have your own Wiki at that point, to use to your heart's content. —C.Fred (talk) 20:30, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred Cool! And, Could I create my online snooker stuff on it? Formula 1 2005 Spreadsheet Championship (talk) 20:35, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
