Hey I'm doing pretty good here. I'm not so new here. But if you guys need any articles on anything, talk to me.

I was looking at your brawl page... and I refreshed. How do you make your page do the things it does?--[[User:Kill Maim|Kill Maim]] ([[User talk:Kill Maim|talk]]) 13:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
:The coding's actually surprisingly simple. Just place <nowiki><choose></nowiki> at the start of the page, then <nowiki><option></nowiki>. Underneath that, place whatever you want as the first option, then close the option with <nowiki></option></nowiki>. Repeat this as many times as you like, each time opening with <nowiki><option></nowiki> and closing with <nowiki></option></nowiki>, then, when you've put in all the options that you want it to choose from, place <nowiki></choose></nowiki> at the end. If you want to make some options more likely to appear than others, you can use <nowiki><option weight="1.00"></nowiki> to open the option, then the usual <nowiki></option></nowiki>. If, for example, you had two options, and you set the weight of one of them to 1.00 and set the weight of the other to 2.00, the second option would be chosen twice as often as the first option. I hope that made sense.

==Question== | |||
Why did you change my smasher profile? - [[User:Woody72691|Woody72691]] ([[User talk:Woody72691|talk]]) 05:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Firstly, please sign your comments by placing ''nothing more than'' <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end. If you put "- Woody72691" at the end then there's no link to your user page or user talk page, which there ideally should be, nor is there a timestamp, which there must be. | |||
:Secondly, this is a public wiki - every user can edit every page, with relatively few exceptions. I edited the page because: | |||
:*It didn't have the new DoB parameters - these new parameters make the template automatically calculate your current age, and they update on your birthday so we no longer have to manually change ages, which required remembering when the smasher's birthday was. | |||
:*I fixed the mains and others parameters because you're not supposed to have more than one character in each of the parameters - it ends up linking to a page that doesn't exist (e.g. "Snake, Falco (SSBB)" or "Marth, Falco (SSBM)"). | |||
:*It had two unnecessary trivia points which were unrelated to you as a smasher. | |||
:*I added the Stub tag because there's no information about tournaments that you've attended, and because without such information, the question of notability arises. | |||
:Thirdly, you seem to be under the impression that the page is yours - a Smasher article is an encyclopaedia entry on you as a smasher, not a public profile. It's not ''your'' page, it's just a page ''about you''. As such, you are more qualified to add information to the page than anyone else on this wiki, but you should not claim ownership of it: other people can edit it, and you don't have control over the content, unless it's factually incorrect or irrelevant.

Hi there, name's Admiral Pit, (Admiral, Pit, or AP for short), and I'm new to Wi-ki, and upon looking around (mainly at a particular area) I would like to ask a favor. | |||
It's about the "John" portion. You see, there is this guy named Woody72691 who made a "No Admirals" post there (He recently created it 1-2 days ago). The only reason why he put that there was because of some conflicts between him and me, started about 2-4 months ago (I forgot), which I eventually won (long story), but what he does to me now is do nothing but troll me, which is why he made that "No Admirals" post in there. Is it okay if you got rid of that portion for me? I would really appreciate it. | |||
Also, I would like to get used to Wikia, and want to know any features around if there are any. Thanks for your time. | |||
Also, I hope I did the "Signing name part" correctly. [[User:Admiral Pit|Admiral Pit]] ([[User talk:Admiral Pit|talk]]) 13:34, September 1, 2009 (UTC) | |||
Also this "No Admirals" is his fault and not mine. I am posting what has become a hit with all smashers, a conflict between said Admiral Pit has never accorded and has since been his obsession to take me down. His Johns of not fighting top tier characters like my Falco and Snake has lead me to coin said term which has since been used for people like him who lie about their connections to Wi-Fi and complain about Meta Knight being broken. I would appreciate it if my term be protected and be placed back where it belongs on this wiki, thank you and Have a Nice Day. [[User:Woody72691|Woody72691]] ([[User talk:Woody72691|talk]]) 18:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC) | |||
I very much appreciate what you did for me earlier. Thank you. | |||
As for the "Smasher: Siege Angel Admiral Pit" part, I'll edit that later on since that's who I am. tbh, The Siege Angel part of the name is just a name for me on All is Brawl. My original self is simply "Admiral Pit" and I should be able to edit it out a bit. I will soon learn about making the "contents" and all and I'll edit it the best I can. | |||
