I left you a note here: Template talk:WikipediaLink TedErnst | talk 15:39, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

Ah, I didn't see the icon before. Very cool! Is is possible for you to make the "Caption" parameter optional? TedErnst | talk 22:32, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

edit Maybe

Gonna try right now. :)

edit WelcomingPeople

I just noticed in Special:RecentChanges that you are welcoming - that's great! This is essentially my favorite thing to do here so let me know if you have any questions. If you're interested there are some ideas on the process at WelcomingPeopleIdeas and we try to log who we've welcomed on the WelcomingPeople page if you don't mind. I hope you don't mind that I've added a tag to your PersonalPage. Cheers, KristinaWeis | **talk** 13:54, 5 October 2007 (PDT) p.s. I don't know much about templates or use them too often. I wonder what the benefits are to template-ing pages like BeTransparent? KristinaWeis | **talk** 13:59, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

edit Re:WelcomingPeople

Thanks! I just thought of how great I felt when I joined the site and got a welcome - it just makes you feel like this is really a bunch of people who really communicate with each other, and I wanted to share that feeling. And no, I don't mind that you added the tag. :)

I made BeTransparent use a template because the same text was being used on Category:ITrytobeTransparent, so that people could simply change the template, and the change would appear on both pages, instead of having to do the edit on both pages manually.

P.S.

How to you get your signature to have your talk link, too? Is it something I am supposed to type, or do you do it manually?

edit My Signature

This is actually something that TedErnst taught me to do yesterday I believe. Under your preferences you can change the "Nickname" field to be whatever you want your signature to appear as. So for example, what mine has there is "[[User:KristinaWeis|KristinaWeis]] | [[User talk:KristinaWeis|**talk**]]", so four tildes will yield: KristinaWeis | **talk** 14:56, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

edit Re: My Signature

Oh - now I get it!

I just realized that I wasted 5 minutes of my life making this template. :D
