User talk:Chrisbutler

Hello, please don't delete this page. I am new to Wikipedia but and plan to use this page to learn how to use the editing commands and tags before I edit proper content. I don't want to use the sandbox as I may want to pause my playing/fiddling and come back to it later. This page is much less likely to get changed that than the Sandbox.

Ah ha! I can now sign my own comments! (Chrisbutler 04:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC))

My nickname is Butty! If I add this on here, will a search spew up this page or go straight to sandwich? (Chrisbutler 04:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC))

Right - searching ignores this page. How would I make sure something came up in a search? (Chrisbutler 04:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC))
 * Click on 'My preferences' above, then the 'search' tab; you can select the namespaces you search in. Cheers, Colon el  Tom 04:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Tom for your help. What about if I thought it should come up for everyone when they did a search? Not suggesting I do I'm just trying to work out how to enable searches to find pages I may later create and add keywords to current pages! (Chrisbutler 05:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC))


 * Let's do this properly ...

Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

 * I understand your question, and it is an excellent one which I don't have the answer to. I'd wager that the answer would be found at one of these links, though: Where to ask a question, Help Desk or perhaps Frequently Asked Questions.  As I've said above, happy editing, and feel free to ask me (or other users; we all try not to bite) any questions.  Cheers, Colon el  Tom 12:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC) (Another tip, although you've probably worked this out already; if you have any text in your user page (just edit it) your user name will default to a blue link, rather than red, when you sign.  Either is fine, of course.)
