Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:56, 25 April 2020

Welcome to the talkpage of User:C2A06. Before leaving any message, please read the section below.

Why are you here?

1. You are here to warn me about disruptive or unconstructive editing - If it's in bad faith, then shoo I'm not interested. If it's in good faith, well then go ahead. I do occasionally make mistakes, everyone does!
2. You are here to notify me that my article was tagged for deletion - Well then, go ahead. I'd rather I got notified about my article being deleted rather than popping over to it and seeing a surprise deletion!
3. You are just here to say "Hello!" - Go right ahead!
4. You are someone very kind and helpful, like User:Optakeover, who wants to help relieve me of my WikiStress (when I have it), send me some Wikilove, and teach me more about Misplaced Pages - Certainly go right ahead!!! To tell you the truth, I am currently having a very stressful life and I would really appreciate that mark of kindness and respect!

Note: I really don't tend to use archives, because I do not receive messages that often, and those messages that I do receive I am usually not particularly interested in and don't feel like archiving them. And we can anyways look at the history of this page to see older messages. Of course, this could all change in the future!

WARNING: If anyone chooses deliberately to ignore and violate my talkpage policies (i.e. you have read them but don't want to follow them) and for example, starts to assume bad faith towards me and call me something like "a disruptive childish troll", or does anything else which I'm against, I will firstly delete all your rubbish that you sent me, and you will then be banned from my talk page (i.e. I will ignore and delete any messages you send me) until further notice. SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

I need some help with formatting text and how to use colours! C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 05:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to help, but your question isn't specific enough for me to know how to help you.

I will leave the help me template open for now, so others may see it and come to your aid, but please explain better what you want help with.

For formatting text, are you asking about emphasis, bold, italics etc? Blockquotes?

With the exception of signatures, which you already seem to have mastered, the main use of colours in Misplaced Pages seems to be as background for boxes or table cells. — jmcgnh 06:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: "background for boxes or table cells" that's the exact help i'm looking for here. Good guess :) C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 06:13, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

And also making text bigger/smaller, stuff like that. C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 06:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

One last thing, when I use colours, I am only able to use "red", "blue", "green", etc. I would like to know how I can format text with custom colours. Hopefully this should be a better explanation and easier to answer :) C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 06:19, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

If you look at the source for this post, you should see the things you need. For smaller text or larger text there are ordinary CSS/HTML tags for that.

For colours, to get true custom colours, you need to specify the RGB value in hex. You can see a couple of examples of this in my signature. I used a colour-picking web page, just one I found with Google, to adjust the values to get the colours I wanted. In fact, just asking google to find "color picker" brings up one that you can use immediately, but you can find others that provide a colour wheel or other schemes for picking colours that go well together. You should be able to use these hex numbers, such as #1e5213 in all the places that are expecting a colour name.

Oh, and one more thing you might like is the {{tq}} template for quoting things on talk pages. — jmcgnh 06:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Bad faith

I see you removed my warning with the edit summary "rm bad faith" - just to note that the block warning does, however, still stand; if you continue disruptively editing, you will be blocked. I do hope it is not necessary to block you, but hasty characterisations of material as "bad faith" is not immediately helping your position here. Nick (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

@Nick: I did read it, and I understood I was going to be blocked if I had continued. I do not like to keep bad faith messages on my talkpage for long, and because I understood I had to stop, I removed it. Again, I won't be disruptive and repeat my mistake and I was removing it for a good reason. C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 15:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

@Nick: May I please remove this now? I fully understand what is going to happen if I continue C2A06 (About | Talk | Edits) 15:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
