MarioWiki talk:FAQ/Archive 2

Have a question you want to ask that you haven't found anywhere else? Ask it here! We might add it to the FAQ.

Images
Hi, I recently uploaded an image for my userpage, but it didn't turn out right, so I tried to fix it, & I reuploaded it but didn't turn out right either. I wanted these images deleted (since they had very bad quality), but I probably can't do that. Would you please help me on this situation?
 * Just tag them with and a sysop will come and delete them. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

I am new to this wiki so could someone tell me what i can do! Mario Freak out P.S Super Sluggers rules!

Me too could someone tell me some of the things that I can do on this website. User:Gamer2.1

Ummm...
Am I allowed to delete welcomes on my talk page?
 * "Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. After all, your user space belongs to you. I hope this information is helpful". So, yeah. Go for it.

Does My username and password work on other wikis like Wikizilla?
 * No, you have to sign up to every Wiki individually. You could always use the same name when joining other websites, but it's a good idea to use different passwords (therefore, if someone discovers the password to one of your accounts, they can't automatically get into all of them). - 15:46, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

I don't want the FAQ's section about becoming admin to be deleted. I was wondering that if anyone calls me, I'll answer! - Chris Helper

User name
When I submit my username Mario freak my whole page comes up why is that?

Ah ha! when you put {{ around a page name, it shows the page, not a link. Instead, put brackets [[ around a page title, and it will show a link. Also, If you want to show your talk in addition to your username, put an | instead of a colon, but use the }'s. Lotsa symbols, but i hope you understand.
 * A.K.A. sign with Mario freak, or ~ (which will give you the first sig and a timestamp). Users also have the option of creating personalized signatures. Look at Signature for more information. -  17:20, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

Help
Could someone tell me how to make personalized names/nicknames. The help page isn't very helpful.

Also can some one tell me how to find people without having to searching all over this website for them. If it's possible

The Dot
How do you do one of those large dots not a period and they are sometimes found on Templates

Polls
How do I add a poll? I went to the polls page, and it says it's not being used anymore, so where do I put my poll? -- 09:19, 28 July 2009 (EDT)
