Second talk page
How do you create a second talk page?

Well, you could create a subpage of your userpage or user talkpage, but I'm not sure why you'd want to (except for archives). This page is where people will leave messages for you, and is the only page which will give you 'you have new messages' notes. Algebraist 16:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC) By the way, I'm not sure what you're trying to do with that 'Please click here if you are answering a help me', but it doesn't work. Algebraist 16:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC) help me Why do you use a template? Help:Template doesn't help with that

Template
Well you changed your question in the middle of my answering but, I think my answer covers the change as well. A template is a way of placing a pre-written piece of text (and often coding) and placing it somewhere else without having to write it again. All names of templates on Wikipedia start with the word template, followed by a colon and then a descriptive name. Thus, the helpme template which drew me here is actually named Template:helpme. Clicking on that link will take you to the source text. Templates are placed in other places by typing just the template name without the word "template" and surrounding it in two curly braces. This "calls" the template. So when you type help me, this tells the software when you save to show on your page whatever it is the called template says. There are many types of templates. There are two features you should know about: substitution and parameters. When you call a template, it always shows what's in the original. So, for example, if I were to go the helpme template and change it, it would change on your page as well, because it's calling whatever text and code is there. However, if I "substitute" it, instead of calling the text continually, it will take all the text and just place it on your page and then be permanently here as that text, as if you'd typed it yourself. Substitution is done by prefixing "subst:" inside the template. So to substitute the helpme template, you would type subst:helpme. Finally, many templates have parameters. What this means is that it allows you to customize some portion of how the template will look. For example, many templates which are notices or warnings for users about an article they have changed, have a parameter which allows you to automatically customize the template to refer to the aricle. Parameters are placed by adding a pipe symbol ("|") after the paremeter name followed by what you are specifying. So it might look like this. That is just one example; different templates have different parameters—some require dates and so on. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Template namespace. By the way, since I have answered your question I am going to null the helpme template by adding "tl|" to it).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Formula One Portal
Portal:Formula One is a portal for Formula One racing. Sort of like a main page for the topic. Voyaging (talk) 17:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

reply to helpme re portals.
This is strange; people don't usually post messages on archive pages. (People post messages on talk pages and the messages are later moved to the archive pages.)

Portals are a tool to assist people who wish to browse the encyclopedia. They're somewhat similar to the "random article" feature at the left. They allow people to find articles they might not have thought of looking for specifically, but that are within a general subject matter they find interesting or want to learn more about. --Coppertwig (talk) 18:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
