Dear user, I am writing this note to inform you that over the course of the next few days Wikicars will be migrating to a new home on Shoutwiki.

Hi all!
Thanks for stopping by! The Wikicars community has been quite friendly and helpful -- it's great!

Welcome to Wikicars!
Hi there, CelsiorFan, 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:
Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
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 to Wikicars and thanks for all the great Lexus-related edits! -Nidhi 15:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Revamping Our Pages
Celsiorfan, just so you know, we're also holding elections to revamp our pages in Garage Talk. We're mainly updating the Pricing, Gas Mileage and Resale Value boxes and we'd like your opinion on the matter. Thanks. Red marquis 07:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Revamping our Pages
Added four new ideas and removed one in the Pricing section. In case any of you would like to change your votes, now's the time.

Bureaucrat Position
I would like to put forward my nomination for Bureaucrat Status. Besides being the most frequent contributor on this website, I am working on projects such as establishing an Anti-Spam bureau, and further renovation of our pages that I feel would require these Bureaucratic powers.

Spam Police
...Speaking of which, I would also like to officially announce the formation of the Spam Police program. Basically, a spam police is obligated to perform RC patrols everytime, he/she logs in. The point is a more organized way of dealing with these pests. There are two units to join into, Admin-Sysops, being that they hold more power, join the "Officer" Ranks, while members obtain "Deputy" status and will only be obligated to report such breach. I am planning to change this situation, though, if and when I recieve "Bureaucrat" status by granting members the power to block IP addresses and seize and protect "spam hotspots". For further information and to sign up, go to Wikicars' Anti-Spam HQ.

Honda Accord
Celsior, I recently uploaded a VERY large number of factory-sanctioned promo pics (fair use, don't worry) of the new 8th-gen 2008 Accord. Unfortunately, I'm not really very knowledgeable on the vehicle and seeing as you're one of our resident experts on Japanese nameplates, I was wondering if you would kindly do some rewriting to update the page. There are a couple of links in the "External Links" section that lead to Honda's press release if you want to cultivate information for the article. Thanks in advance.

- I'll take a look at it, thx for uploading the pics. CelsiorFan 18:31, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

NEW INFOBOX SYSTEM
I have recently discovered how to format our infobox in similar fashion to Wikipedia's Master Template System whereby a we will no longer have to replicate the infobox again and again for each individual page. What will happen instead is that from this point on there will be a set of codes similar to the ones below that will act as a "surrogate" and where you will be filling out the basic information. It will replicate the "master template" on thepage but with the individual information you've written filled out on it. What this allows for is that if and when we finally decide to change the design/update the infobox we will no longer have to manually alter each infobox from page to page.
{{Infobox |
|Image = place image here in 300 pixels
|Marque = place marque here - not manufacturer
|aka = Type aka here, not up there
|Production = produced from when to when+total units made (optional)</nowiki>
|Class = denote market class
|Body Style = how many doors+how many seats+what type of body
|Length = length - type here
|Width = Width - type here
|Height = Height - type here
|Wheelbase = wheelbase - type here
|Weight = Weight - you get the point
|Transmission = transmission + drive
|Engine = engine
|Power = N/A hp @ N/A rpm<br>N/A lb-ft of [[torque]] @ N/A rpm
|Similar = similar (competition)
|Designer = Designer (lead designer if it was a team effort)
}}
