Help! - Havent used this for ages

{{helpme}} Um, I kind of need someone to help me design one of those assessment tags for a new wikiproject. Im a bit confused using the Class parameter thing and I need a bit of help. The wiki-project that I'm doing it for is Raymond E. Feist series (WP:RAY). Im not too sure about images but maybe the Image:Rapiere-Morges-2.jpg would be good. Thanks!

I presume you want something like Template:WPSchools, is that right? In which case, you need to create a page with a name like Template:RaymondFeist. You'll want to see the page on meta, and probably Misplaced Pages:Template namespace as well. That said, I've never created one before so I'm leaving the help tag up in case you need more —αlεx•mullεr 00:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

YEP, something like that. I try it soon. Fattyjwoods 00:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, here's some code that should be useful for you. This will create a generic talk page header that describes your project, and uses a class parameter to put the talk page into a category used by your project. The code is pretty much directly pirated from another one of these I've written, Template:WPAFC. I've trimmed it down considerably, as a lot of the code I have there isn't necessary for your project. You may want to add a little more information about the project, but it's up to you. Enjoy! Hersfold 01:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

You're quite welcome, glad I could help. :-) Hersfold 02:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I'll make the changes to the template now, as well as add some documentation in for you. Hersfold 02:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it's funny you bring RfA up - I think I'm about to go for one in a few day's time, and I already have two nomination offers. I'll let you know once I get nominated, and you can add your nomination in as well - it's not at all unusual for there to be co-noms at an RfA. Hersfold 16:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Fattyjwoods - as Hersfold said, someone had beaten you to it! :p Yes, it was me, and Hersfold's RFA is now just waiting for him to accept and transclude it onto the RFA page. I don't personally see the point of co-nominations, but there's nothing stopping you adding one if you really want to. Neıl ☎ 15:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Humph. :(, oh well I'll just add a co-nom just to make myself feel better ;) Fattyjwoods 05:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

HELP, again for statistics

{{helpme}} Sorry, guys but I need help creating a statistics table. with the info from and . Ill be at school tommorrow so I might not be able to reply very quickly so bear with me. Thanks Fattyjwoods 07:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The statistics table is actually generated by a bot, User:WP 1.0 Bot. You can check the bot's user page for instructions on how to get it to run for your project. Note that you may need to rename a few categories, I'm not sure. Hersfold 16:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again Fattyjwoods 04:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

New! BCAD drive from Milhist

Can I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced editors and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, --ROGER DAVIES  05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello again! The other day, you offered to nominate me for adminship on my talk page, and I'd like to give you the chance to do so. I've been nominated by another user, Neil, and would be honored to have you as a co-nominator. Thanks for your offer, and I hope to hear from you soon. Hersfold 15:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, the nomination page is at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Hersfold 3. Hersfold 16:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done and good luck. Fattyjwoods 03:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much! I greatly appreciate it! Hersfold 03:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Typo

You have a typo on your userpage. You have "to" instead of "too" when you mention that you don't want your userboxes to take up too much space. Just thought you might want to know. Useight (talk) 23:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, and on the RFA discussion. I'll change the "to" now Fattyjwoods 03:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

You changed the wrong "to" to "too". The one that should be "too" is the one right before "much." The one you have as "too" currently, should be "to" instead. Useight (talk) 06:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh boy, you confused me but I think I got it right in the end. Thanks for that :-) Fattyjwoods 07:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Thank you once again for your kind co-nomination for my adminship. As I'm sure you know, it was successful, closing with a final tally of (75/1/0). I greatly appreciate the trust you have taken in me, even though you haven't known me as an editor as long as many of the people who participated. I assure you that that trust has not been misplaced, and will do my best to make sure that I use my mop well. Thank you once again, and happy editing as always. Hersfold 20:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support in my rfa

I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Misplaced Pages has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

BTW, Yay is the best support argument ever. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! Thank you for your support in my RFA. The passed with a final count of (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta 19:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
