User talk:Yankeesfan245

Welcome to Wikicars!

Hi there, Yankeesfan245, and welcome to 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:

• About Wikicars
• Wikicars FAQs

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:

• Make Template
• Model 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 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 {{subst:model}} or {{subst:make}}. There are also various templates for different types of vehicles, such as {{subst:Concept Model}} for concept cars; {{subst:Racing Model}} for general racing vehicles and {{subst:Formula One Car}} 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 [[Category:Porsche images]] and so on. All images must be categorized according to their respective marques

If you have any further questions, simply contact me or any other one of the admins.

Bronco Page

My #1 Mission on wikicars is to Perfect and refine the Ford Bronco page, I will continue to improve this page as I find more info on this subject.

I also know a lot of stats on other makes and models of American Made vehicles, so I will try to improve these Pages as nessecery.

Image Uploading

Hi. I see you've uploaded a few images.

One of our aims here is to streamline the website in order to make it user friendly for both users and viewers so we like to get things organized, including pictures. The way we accomplish this is by categorizing them. Now, there are many ways to categorize but our way is simply to categorize by marque.

There is a snippet in the welcome note above how to do this. It's the second to the last paragraph, the one in bold. I know this might all seem redundant and annoying extra work but it does help tremendously with the workload. All we are asking is your cooperation. Thanks.
