Um hi i just joined. and I um uh... HI BYE!!!--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 20:56, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

== Usertags ==

You kinda didn't type them in right. It's {{template|User LeafGreen}}, not {{template|user leafgreen}}. Capitalization and correct wikicode will help you a lot, as you could note from your last edit of the page on [[alternate coloration]]... you forgot to close the chart, and you put the pink Butterfree in the space for what I like to call "row-spanning formatting". For example, say you have a chart that goes like this:

<pre>
{|
! Pokémon
! Kanto Dex
! Johto Dex
! Hoenn Dex
! Sinnoh Dex
|- bgcolor="#{{grass color}}"
| Bulbasaur
| 001
| 226
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{fire color}}"
| Charmander
| 004
| 229
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{water color}}"
| Squirtle
| 007
| 232
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{electric color}}"
| Pikachu
| 025
| 022
| 156
| 104
|}
</pre>

That's the raw coding for what appears below. Notice how the <nowiki>|}</nowiki> appears at the end, which you left out, and how each entry has either a "!" or a "|" before it, depending on if it's to be a header or just an entry.

{|
! Pokémon
! Kanto Dex
! Johto Dex
! Hoenn Dex
! Sinnoh Dex
|- bgcolor="#{{grass color}}"
| Bulbasaur
| 001
| 226
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{fire color}}"
| Charmander
| 004
| 229
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{water color}}"
| Squirtle
| 007
| 232
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{electric color}}"
| Pikachu
| 025
| 022
| 156
| 104
|}

See, this is because if you accidentally leave out the <nowiki>|}</nowiki>, you end up with what appears below:

{|
! Pokémon
! Kanto Dex
! Johto Dex
! Hoenn Dex
! Sinnoh Dex
|- bgcolor="#{{grass color}}"
| Bulbasaur
| 001
| 226
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{fire color}}"
| Charmander
| 004
| 229
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{water color}}"
| Squirtle
| 007
| 232
| ---
| ---
|- bgcolor="#{{electric color}}"
| Pikachu
| 025
| 022
| 156
| 104
|}

<s>Doesn't this mess everything up?</s>

===And now on to usertags===
<s>Hey look, it's still in the yellow box that has Pikachu's Sinnoh Dex number! This is why it's important to close these things: the rest of the page below it gets stuck in the chart.</s>

Anyway, what you should really do is put "<nowiki><div class="userbox" style="width: 230pt;"></nowiki>" before any and all usertags, and then after all of them, put "<nowiki></div></nowiki>" This confines them to the right side of the page. Now if anything's gonna mess up this "in the yellow area" text, it'll be me doing this...

<div class="userbox" style="width: 230pt;">
{{User Favorite|000|Missingno.}}
{{User Mudkip}}
{{User Red}}
{{User FireRed}}
{{User Loves|Hikari.png|50|Dawn (anime)|Dawn}}
</div>

And if you don't close that thing... well, crap, you're stuck with the rest of the page in that too.

I would assume that you don't really want that... but hey, some type in their usertag area... I'd just recommend closing these things, they'll screw with your formatting after the box if you forget to. This concludes my demonstration of "how to screw up formatting". You can fix it if you like so it doesn't look like this beyond my example.

== Templates ==

You should put <nowiki>{{User Starter|004|Charmander}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{User Favorite|045|Golbat}}</nowiki> to get what you were trying to get. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">S</span><span style="color: red">h</span><span style="color: brown">i</span><span style="color: red">n</span><span style="color: brown">y</span> <span style="color: red">N</span><span style="color: brown">o</span><span style="color: red">c</span><span style="color: brown">t</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">w</span><span style="color: red">l</span>]] [[Image:376MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl#The Secret Page|Find the secret page!]][[Image:224MS.gif]] <span style="font-size: 250%">♪</span>The [[User:Shiny Noctowl/Me/Oboe|oboe]] is the best instrument ever!<span style="font-size: 250%">♪</span> 21:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

== Steve Irwin Template ==

I noticed that ugly Steve Irwin tag and thought I'd make you one just to be nice.  It even links to the Wikipedia article!  Just copy and paste it onto your user page.  Here you go:  {{User Template|This user liked|wp:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin|160.png|grass|water|electric}}  :)  -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 01:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank You. I didn't make that. I used a Feraligatr pic and then typed my text but thank you.--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 01:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


Hey! Take a look at this!
{{User Steve}}
The code is "User Steve".
It's not ''exactly'' the same as yours, but it'll do, right? --[[User:Stinkoman|悪臭の人]] 14:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

::Yup.  It's not quite as flashy, but it's a LOT easier to type.  -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 01:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Really, all the credit goes to Shiny Noctowl. He had the original pic and text, I just copied, and you guys made the template. How do you make templates?--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 14:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


I had the original pic and text. ShinyNoctowl copied it from me --[[User:Theryguy512]]

Ok. Do you guys mind me going to your pages and coping your user boxes?--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 14:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

== Accent the é ==

Please. Always always always. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">TTE</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#0000FF">chidna</span>]]''' 03:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
