Warning
Please do not create subpages of others' user pages. You can create your own subpage of your own userpage if you need one. This can only be considered vandalism, and continuation of this will be met with a block from editing. Thank you for your cooperation. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh my goodness! I misunderstood some of the instructions on creating my signature, so I suppose it is entirely my fault! I am so embarresed an hopefully it will never happen again.

Sure, I'll help
I wass horrible at wikicoding, in fact I'm still not great at the really complicated things, but I know a simple way to do most of the things on my page. What things do you want on your page? I suppose a infobox, the big thing to thee right of my page, and some userboxes, the smaller things under it, right? NaruHina Talk 14px 06:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not very good at sigs, I copied one and just changed around the picture and the name but here is a simplistic explaination of how to do an infobox (You can just copy this into your page and make appropriate changes to it:
user infobox |c1=009900 |c2=4CBB17 |c3= |imageBG= |userboxBG= |image= |name=Naruhina |birth=1994 |birthplace=Tacoma, Washington, United States of America |residence=Tacoma, Washington, USA |gender=Male|height= |hair=Very dark brown |eyes=Dark brown |hideg=hide |occupation= |hobbies=Video Games |contribs= |userboxes=
Many of these fields are self explanitory so I'll explain the others:
- Each of the "c1" and "Image/userboxBG" fields at the top determine what colors your infobox will be, play with them a bit. Also, be sure to use proper coding for each field for it to work, if you have an email account, the options for font color should be labeled this.
- contribs is for your contributions to Star Wars canon, if any, but some use it to say what they do around the Wook.
- For each section of the Infobox, Bio Info, Physical Description, and General Info, there is a field called hideb, hidep, and hideg; which are placed just before the first field in the section. If you wish to omit the section title, type "hide[b, p, or g]=hide" in the field.
- The image section is where you can put an image, obviously. If you find an image you want, click on it and copy the title of it's page, i.e. File:Rogue_Squadron.svg (My image). Then, if you wish to change its size, type "|XXXpx" replacing XXX with the number of pixels you want it to be, 150-250 is usually a good size. When you put it in the field it shoouuld say "|Image=[[:File:Rogue_Squadron.svg|250px]].
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, I'll get to an explaination of userboxes another time. NaruHina Talk 14px 22:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- It seems you got one while I was writing this, I still hope this helps fill in some blanks for you. NaruHina Talk 14px 22:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
At the top of your screen, there should be a button called "More" to the right. Click it and choose My Preferences. Tehree is a field called Signature, remember to click the Custom Signature activator right under it. Then just copy and paste the sig's code in that field. Also, your sig should have links to your Userpage and possibly your Talkpage. NaruHina Talk 14px 23:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Which picture? It should use the same format, |Image=[[:File:Rogue_Squadron.svg|250px]], only t can't be taller than about 14 pixels. NaruHina Talk 14px 23:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- What picture do you want? Pick one and I can add it for you if you'd like. I thought you were talking about your Sig image. NaruHina Talk 14px 00:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Talk Posts
Hello, Rhaal Ti. When posting comments on forums and talk pages, please remember to put your posts at the bottom of the page, not just wherever you can, as you have done on at least two occasions. Just a friendly reminder, nothing serious. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 05:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Userboxes
Just paste the following under the userboxes part of your infobox:
- {{userbox|brown|tan|[[:File:Forcekickcomalive.gif|50px]]|This user can [[Force kick]].}}
- {{userbox|#000000|#A9A9A9|[[:File:Pondababa.jpg|52px]]|This user doesn't like you.}}
- {{userbox|#000000|#A9A9A9|?|This user’s invisible friend doesn't like you either.}}.
To make custom userboxes see WP:UBX. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 06:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
RE: Questions
Hey, Rhaal ti :-).
For your first question to make someone's name appear on your page you use what we call a Magic word, in this case {{USERNAME}}. So if you want to say Hello to whoever views your page you write "Hello {{USERNAME}}". As for your second question, you should look at our stats, which show how many users we have, and more importantly how many users we have who edit every month. Hope this helps :-). Oh, and remember to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes like this ~~~~. Have a great day :). Grunny (Talk) 21:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: thanks
No problem. We were all new users at one time, and it takes some time to get the hang of Wookieepedia. Let me know if you have any questions. Cylka-talk- 03:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Userboxes
Sure, you can use them, just copy them onto youir page. I made the TCW ones myself but someone else made the Death Star one and its just been floating around ever since. NaruHina Talk 14px 03:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Slaver's Chains
Now, onto serious business. Are these identified as "Slaver's Chains" in any source? You can make an article on anything in the SW Universe but it must be distinguishable from other things. As well, these are mared as possible Fanon, you should expand on it with info from The Last Command. If you don't, it will be deleted. Also, be sure to read the Manual of Style and the Layout Guides if you haven't already. NaruHina Talk 14px 03:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
