Message from Garfieldo

- Hi Priz! Just thought I'd let you know I'll try to add pics to your other room pages sometime soon.

templates

SO I have seen your messages about the templates and saw what you did on the timeline (nice!) But I have yet to figure out how you did it. Is there a list of templates for our pages? I am lost now lol. It seems that you can answer on my talk page? This is new to me --SpinMarty 13:34, 15 August 2006 (CDT)

--SpinMarty 18:05, 16 August 2006 (CDT) I STILL have no idea how you create a template. Actually, I understand the template part but I don't see how you make a new page for a template! GRRR

It's like uploading a new image. You type { {template:whateveryouwannacallit} } and then click on the link, and create it. Simple as that.

I actually feel its more like creating a new page. What I usually (usually? I've done it four whole times. LOL!) is the following:

  • Edit some page where I will test the template (usually the page I will eventually use it on, so I can compare it to how it used to look).
  • Change the text I'm replacing with {{whatever}} (It defaults to the Template namespace, so you don't need to put that in.)
  • Click on Show preview
  • The text will be replaced with a link. Click on the link, and I'm taken to the edit page for Template:Whatever
  • Edit my template and save it.
  • Go back to the page I'm testing it on and click Show preview again, and see how the template now looks.

Confused as to your suggestion about the themes. Do you mean like one page of halloween, one page of christmas, etc.? I haven't really decided on how to do it yet so any ideas are apprecaited.

I finally made it into the Inner Space shop so I can thoroughly add prices, etc. Since we have had several more come on board the quests are starting to shape up nicely.

My next project, well working at the same time, is the public rooms in VMK. Yavn has offered to send me clean screen shots of each of the rooms (ie: no players, words, etc.) Let me know if there are any guest room ones you wish to have.
