User talk:Spudwalt

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Spudwalt! Here are a few links to help you get started:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format of all pages on Bulbapedia. Need a hand? Our friendly team of staff are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with Bulbapedia.

Signatures On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), or by using the "Your signature with a timestamp" () button at the top of the edit window. Userspace Policy On Bulbapedia, the ability to edit personal userpages is a privilege. Per our userpage policy, this must be earned by first making constructive edits to the mainspace. Once you can, remember to keep userspace edits (edits to User:Spudwalt) to a minimum. For a complete list of policies and editing advice, please see the Welcome Portal.  Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   Werdnae (talk) 23:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Categories

The reason the text wasn't showing up is that putting a "link" to a category simply adds the page to the category. To link to a category you must put a colon (:) before the Category inside the brackets. I.e. [[:Category:(category name)]]

More importantly though, you must not ask questions like the one in the tool tip text in this edit on mainspace pages. If you want to know why something isn't working or doesn't seem to be working ask it on a talk page somewhere. Thanks. Werdnae (talk) 05:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
