Help please
helpme Can anyone tell me actually how to put my name on the Wiki Project Harry Potter list? It's a bit confusing. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. And can anyone give me any tips about how I can tidy up my user page? Thanks! Ladywitchthought (talk) 04:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

P.S. You know how it says type and someone will come by? How does that work?


 * Hello! To answer your first question, it is quite confusing, but here's what you need to do:
 * Click here
 * Scroll all the way to the bottom of the edit box.
 * Add this code just above the |}, supplying your own responses where indicated:


 * What do you intend to do in the project?
 * What House do you want to be in?
 * What do you intend to do in the project?
 * What House do you want to be in?
 * Save the page.
 * As for your second question, that's easy. When you add helpme to your talk page, it gets tossed in Category:Wikipedians looking for help, which users like me check regularly. The reason I came so quickly is because there is a bot in the irc channel #wikipedia-en-help that reported your need for assistance.
 * Anyway, feel free to put up another helpme if you need more help, or leave me a note on my talk page. Happy editing! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 04:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Novels WikiProject
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WikiProject_Novels_announcements there. While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox   .
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

'''I've tried to use the babel grouping system to organise my userboxes, but it's not working! When I try to use this:'''

template, it turns up like this:

Can someone help please? Thanks, Ladywitchthought (talk) 02:47, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, the problem is that other userboxes aren't intended to be used in the Babel-X box. That is set up to only deal with "babel" language templates, like user en or user es-1, etc. What you can use instead is something like this:


 * That code will produce the box shown below, and you can easily add more userboxes by sticking them above userboxbottom. Hope this helps! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much!!!Ladywitchthought (talk) 03:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

A sheepish
I've made it so far to get everything in order but there is just a tiny problem. You can see that when you show all the userboxes there is a 'i>' and a '|}' down the bottom of the table. Is there any way to get rid of this? And when the table is collapsed, the box is too big and I can't seem to make it smaller. Thanks, and sorry that I am so fussy! Thanks again, Ladywitchthought (talk) 03:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Nope. Bleah. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Try this out. I've converted the mass of  's into a collapsible wikitable that looks similar and does the same thing without messing up the display for everything underneath it. I've commented out the old code so it stops causing problems. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 03:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
