Hi there i have recived the message you sent and send something back on my talk page,topgear23 {{helpme}} How do you create a subpage? I can't understand what it says on the website. TopGearFreak (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Put User:TopGearFreak/ in front of the name of the page you want to create for example User:TopGearFreak/example. You can't create subpages of articles because otherwise you couldn't use / in titles. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 16:37, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} How do you delete subpages? I made one and it didn't turn out right and I now want to delete it. TopGearFreak (talk) 18:43, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It's in your userspace, yeah? Just click 'edit', and add {{db-author}} to the page. An admin will come along eventually and delete it. [ roux ] [x] 18:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I didn't make a subpage at all, it was an accidental article. It's called User:TopGearFreak/MyExperiments and I want to delete it but I don't know how. I give permission to any administrator to delete it. Sorry, I know that this is my third question today, but I keep making so many mistakes! TopGearFreak (talk) 19:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Anything with a / in front of it after the main page in a given space is a subpage. Just go there and add the {{db-author}} tag. Any page that appears after User:TopGearFreak/ or User talk:TopGearFreak/ is in your userspace. [ roux ] [x] 19:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I saw a guestbook on another user's user page. I would really like one but I don't know how to make it. Help TopGearFreak (talk) 19:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Easy. Go to their guestbook, click 'edit', copy all the text, then paste into your own at, e.g. User:TopGearFreak/Guestbook. Make any formatting changes you like, and obviously remove the other signatures. [ roux ] [x] 20:25, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I want to be adopted but I don't know how to show that I do. Help TopGearFreak (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Signature

Well, you can customize your signature. See here for more details, and here for instructions. If you need any help with it, just ask :) Chamal ^talk 13:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

You hadn't made the links and the tags properly. Would you like me to make one for you? If you want, tell me how you want your signature to look like. Chamal ^talk 14:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

How's this one: TopGearFreak ^Talk

Here's the code:

<span style="color:blue">[[User:TopGearFreak|TopGearFreak]] [[User talk:TopGearFreak|^Talk]]</span>

Just copy it and paste it into the signature box, and check raw signature. If you need any more changes to be made, please tell me. I'd be glad to help. Chamal ^talk 14:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, changed it: TopGearFreak ^Talk

Code is [[User:TopGearFreak|<span style="color:#0000FF">TopGearFreak</span>]] [[User talk:TopGearFreak|<span style="color:#00BFFF">^Talk</span>]]

If you want to change the colours, you can change those numbers to whatever one you like. This page has a wide range of colours and their hex codes. Chamal ^talk 15:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Userpage Design

No problem. Do you have any colors or themes you would like? Cheers, ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 18:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

All done. Tell me what you think. If there's anything that needs changing, tell me right away. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 21:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

There you go. Check User:TopGearFreak/Userpage Design for my design if you would like it back. Cheers, ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 16:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
