User page guide
Thanks for the welcome. Is there a guide on how to build my user page? I coudln't find one. I'd like to know how to specify the languages I know, and such. Any help is appreciated. Shanok 17:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Shanok. There's some help about user pages here and more about the language templates can be found here. If there is anything else you need help with, just ask. :) -- Cid Highwind 17:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Cid. As a matter of fact, I do need help with something. Is there a way to just see the underlying code of a page, without actually clicking on the "edit this page" tab? I'd like to see some code for the purposes of learning it through existing examples, without of course saving anything. However, I worry that this might be considered offensive or something, especially if I were to do it in another user's page. Shanok 20:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * As long as you don't make any changes its fine. Feel free to click edit if its just to view to code, that's how I learnt. Jaz 21:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Jaz. Another question: if I change small things in my own User Page do they end up appearing in "Recent Changes" and bothering everyone who's looking out for new edits? Should I mark such edits as "minor edits"? Shanok 23:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

They will show up, but not bother us. Feel free to make whatever changes you want to your user page. Jaz


 * What about subpages inside my own user page? What is the policy on that? (Not that I actually would want to do it at this point) Shanok 05:32, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Heya, thanks a lot for your help Shanok
I was an anonymous user that contributed to the episode page Imaginary_Friend recently, a TNG episode. Thanks for noticing, I felt welcome!

Hi Shanok!
