User talk:F430

Welcome to Wikicars!

Hi there, F430, 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! - Red marquis 06:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

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}}. This is necessary for the sake of professionalism. If you have any further questions, simply contact me or any other one of the admins.
