Could you help?
I am trying to set up a small wiki for me and others on this messageboard I post at. I wanted to use Template:Infobox VG and figured that my wiki is the same type as Wikipedia, I could just copy it. However, it's not working:, could you maybe help? TJ Spyke 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Although your wiki is the same type as Wikipedia, two things are missing. Firstly, you are running an earlier version of the Wikipedia software (which is called "MediaWiki"), and secondly you haven't installed some special extensions to it that are required for that template to work.
 * To fix your problems, upgrade to the latest version of MediaWiki at http://www.mediawiki.org, and install the ParserFunctions extension, which you can find at ParserFunctions.

Template:user current age
You seem to really know your way around Wiki-markup. Is there any way you can modify the template user current age to automatically add the user to Category:Happy Birthday! on the appropriate day? Thanks!-- Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 14:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Subtleknife.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Subtleknife.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -Panser Born-  (talk)  01:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Php-type template pages - possible?
Hi, I'm currently trying to knock together a template that operates a bit like a php page, and can't work out how to do it! I wonder if you'd mind seeing if you could suggest anything?

What I want to be able to do is to link years to geological time. I use the template to produce text like, and I want the number to link to a second template, which produces this:

However I only want a link to the timeline - it shouldn't be displayed in the article! So can I generate a link to a page Template:ShowMa?yearsago=599.9 that will generate the template with the specified digits? Or will I have to create a separate page for every year of Earth's long history?

Many thanks!

Needing Help With a Template
Hi There. I need some help with a template if you have the time. If not I understand. The template in question is which we use in the Alabama wikiproject to invite people to join us. We want to be able include our individual signatures in the template but can't figure out how to make it render the signature as we have designed them. As you can see, the JodyB in the template looks nothing like my signature. Including the 4 tilde's in the template (after the pipe) doesn't seem to work. Your assistance would be appreciated. JB Evans  16:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Signature signing in templates only works if the template is substed. I advise you don't try to be too clever. If you want to leave this template on someone's talk page, leave it with the text: " ", i.e. just sign. It's different by a matter of the positioning of two braces. If you desperately want to be able to include the signature inside the template-call, you'll have to subst the template every time . -- Alfakim -- talk  17:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Westfall (Band) deletion
I wrote this article because the rock band from Watertown Massachusettes is very prominent in that town and high school's culture. There were no sources noted because their aren't any note of them much of anywhere on the internet, they are so prominent in watertown culture, and after thier CD is made, it's very possible they will spread throughout the country, therefore I beleive they should have an article on wikipedia. Please consider my request.

Sincerly, Linkinknot91
