| == Welcome to Wikicars! ==
| |
| Hi there, '''Alamasy''', and welcome to '''[[Main Page|Wikicars]]'''! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
| |
| :* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
| |
| :* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''
| |
|
| |
| Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
| |
| :* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
| |
| :* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
| |
| :* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''
| |
|
| |
| Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
| |
| :* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.
| |
|
| |
| :* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
| |
|
| |
| :* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.
| |
|
| |
| There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.
| |
|
| |
| If you need help, ask me on [[User Talk:Red_marquis|my talk page]].

|
| |
| Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community!
| |
|
| |
| p.s. If you wish to create a new page for a model of car or a car company, please type either of these down '''<nowiki>{{subst:model}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{subst:make}}</nowiki>'''. There are also various templates for different types of vehicles, such as '''<nowiki>{{subst:Concept Model}}</nowiki>''' for concept cars; '''<nowiki>{{subst:Racing Model}}</nowiki>''' for general racing vehicles and '''<nowiki>{{subst:Formula One Car}}</nowiki>''' for Formula One vehicles. Note that these codes are all case sensitive. I would advice you to first check out a number of our featured pages to get a feel and idea of the overall product we aim for. This is necessary for the sake of professionalism.
| |
|
| |
| '''Also, please categorize images when you upload them. For instance, you upload an image of a Porsche 911 or anything related, for that matter with Porsche, on the "Summary" box located in the upload page itself, type <nowiki>[[Category:Porsche images]]</nowiki> and so on. All images must be categorized according to their respective marques.'''
