| Hi There. I need some help with a template if you have the time. If not I understand. The template in question is {{AlProInvSig|JodyB}} which we use in the ] wikiproject to invite people to join us. We want to be able include our individual signatures in the template but can't figure out how to make it render the signature as we have designed them. As you can see, the JodyB in the template looks nothing like my signature. Including the 4 tilde's in the template (after the pipe) doesn't seem to work. Your assistance would be appreciated. ] 16:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC) | Hi There. I need some help with a template if you have the time. If not I understand.

Hi - sorry I didn't summarise the edit but I did provide cogent reasons on the talk page, immediately afterwards. edward (buckner) 08:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Could you help?
I am trying to set up a small wiki for me and others on this messageboard I post at. I wanted to use Template:Infobox CVG and figured that my wiki is the same type as Misplaced Pages, I could just copy it. However, it's not working: , could you maybe help? TJ Spyke 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Although your wiki is the same type as Misplaced Pages, two things are missing. Firstly, you are running an earlier version of the Misplaced Pages software (which is called "MediaWiki"), and secondly you haven't installed some special extensions to it that are required for that template to work.
- To fix your problems, upgrade to the latest version of MediaWiki at http://www.mediawiki.org, and install the ParserFunctions extension, which you can find at meta:ParserFunctions.

Template:user current age
You seem to really know your way around Wiki-markup. Is there any way you can modify the template {{user current age}} to automatically add the user to Category:Happy Birthday! on the appropriate day? Thanks!--Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 14:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Haha great idea! I'll get onto it.--Alfakim-- talk 17:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! That's so cool - I love it. I'm 26 today--Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 17:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:Subtleknife.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Subtleknife.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -Panser Born- (talk) 01:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Php-type template pages - possible?
Hi, I'm currently trying to knock together a template that operates a bit like a php page, and can't work out how to do it! I wonder if you'd mind seeing if you could suggest anything?
What I want to be able to do is to link years to geological time. I use the template
{{Ma|599.9}}
to produce text like 599.9 million years ago, and I want the number to link to a second template, which produces this:
Timeline
This timeline shows how 599.9 million years relates to the planetary timescale.
599.9 million years ago↓
However I only want a link to the timeline - it shouldn't be displayed in the article!
So can I generate a link to a page Template:ShowMa?yearsago=599.9 that will generate the template with the specified digits? Or will I have to create a separate page for every year of Earth's long history?
Many thanks!
