Welcome to the UPDC Technical Help page! Please ask as many questions as you want! This page exists only to help users with the design of their pages, not to design it for them. For that, go to Trading Spaces. Help with user pageHi, I was wondering if it would be possible to lock my user page from edits. The reason I ask is that someone placed a sock puppet banner on my page which an admin later removed on account of no evidence, yet the user continues to replace the banner. I have asked him to leave me alone. Libro0 (talk) 23:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC) I have a similar question. Someone sharing my name has now twice anonymously edited my User page to describe him rather than me. Since I, not he, am the Wikipedia User whose (slight) contributions are described there, I'd like to have the content on that User page describe me, and not him.

Online statusHow can I get my online status, (i.e. Jkasd is currently online, or offline) updated on my user page. I don't use any of the IRC stuff. Thank you. Jkasd 04:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Question about watchlist pageIn the watchlist page after the user name and timestamp there is always a number enclosed in brackets. Like +29 in below example. (diff) (hist) . . User:Gppande; 05:33 . . (+29) . . Gppande (Talk | contribs) (added wiki add for project india) Sometimes this "+" is replaced by "-". What does this number and sign signify? I found it is not the count of number of times the article was edited nor the count of contribution made by 'the' user to 'the' page. What is it? --gppande «talk» 14:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Where is my user pageI am living at "Norra Botkyrka" which is a new town in the South of Stockholm and also a subject word in Wikipedia English. I made some editorial additions and listed as my user name Joachim Colling and gave my email address in the page "User:Joachim Colling" because I wanted to give the original editor the chance to discuss my additions.Some changes I made were like moving a paragraph and they were listed in the history. Now all these notes about the changes were marked with (undo) and with an IP number. But somehow even my user page has vanished. I cannot find it but when trying to create a new account under my real name Joachim Colling I get the answer that this user name is already in use. Who is using it? Why has the user page "Joachim Colling" been deleted? Have I made some mistake? Need help with user pageCompleted

Sharing two user pages between two wikipediasI have a User Page on English Wikipedia. I have now registered also as a user of Hebrew Wikipedia. Is there any way to have one User Page and Talk Page for both? Can I redirect people who look at the Hebrew User Page Talk Page to my existing pages?RolandR 00:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Need help breaking my page into sections
How do I determine what subpages I've createdNot sure if this goes here nor not: Aside from drilling into user history, how can I determine what subpages I've created? I mean after a while, I can see it getting a bit out of hand if you're not keeping track --Joe Christl 18:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Inexplicable 'gap' between userboxesHey. I've got my userboxes organized the way I like them, but I found that in the "My Politics" and "My Spirituality" categories of userboxes, there's an inexplicable 'gap' between userboxes. I've tried fooling around to eliminate that on my own, but I end up getting two or more userboxes pushed over to the right or even overlapping inside the box-category I have. Any assistance in getting that cleaned up would be much appreciated. --Micahbrwn 20:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I am having problems with the Userboxes, found at User:Valley2city/ubx from displaying correctly when expanded. Please also see the issues when it is transcluded on my top page with text clearance problems and unnecessary line breaks. I should mention that I think the "entertainment" and "diet" sections of /ubx are the most problematic. Can anyone please assist me in this matter as I have tried various forms to display hide/show userboxes, always with similar problems. I'm having these problems using Firefox, though there are other problems encountered with Internet Explorer. --Valley2city₪‽ 01:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

sick and tired at looking at my piece of cr*p userpageHey, i have been around for a while now, and you would think i would know a thing or two about creating userpages, sadly i don't. I am tired of how my current userpage looks, i am open to anything, but would prefer something clean and easy to navigate. If anyone wants to take on the daunting task, feel free, or if you have suggestions you can leave them on my talk page. Thanks again. Tiptoety (talk) 00:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

My userpageHello! I recently changed by userpage to be a bit more modern but I still don't like using the boring basic look. Although I ahve been on Wikipedia for over two years I still don't know how to make a good Userpage. Can you help me make my Userpage more interesting?

How to safely test live templates in a sandbox?I sometimes sandbox test templates in my user pages. However, sometimes, transcluding a template automatically places a page in an article category. This is bad, as it makes my user page look like an article. For example, I have a sandbox demo of {{Ise}} at User:Hroðulf/AIlist. It makes User:Hroðulf/AIlist show up on Category:Companies listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. I wish! How can I safely demonstrate a template in a sandbox, when that template has article categories? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
What's with the bold "u" on my userpage?![]() I've been trying to migrate my pretty spartan userpage to a series of subpages. I've tried four times to get my User:RJaguar3/Current projects subpage to be transcluded correctly into the current projects section of my userpage. However, I can't get rid of the bold lowercase u that appears. Can anyone help me? RJaguar3 | u | t 15:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Unauthorized intervention on my User page (foreign Wikipedias)This is not vandalism and I don't even know what to call it (tampering?), and I'm asking here first because I'm not sure how to track down the problem where it occurs:
Upon logging on to several of my User accounts today, I discovered content on my User page in Spanish and Arabic] that I had not added -- and according to the pages' edit histories, there is no record of any edit adding it! In both cases, these involve the box for "Other Languages" on the left-hand navigation bar:
Both of these link not to my User page in that foreign-language Wikipedia, but a page within that Wikipedia for the Babel template of Hebrew level three -- though my name (User account) doesn't appear when the template (category) is selected. Update: I've tracked this down to a particular edit by a certain editor of the he-3 Babel template on the Spanish Wikipedia. Although this editor has been dormant (i.e. no edits) for the past four weeks there, I'm leaving messages to try eliciting some explanation and treatment of the adverse results. -- Deborahjay (talk) 18:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
College athleticsUser:Bus2Beezlebub: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph%27s_Hawks For some reason I can't edit out the "Football stadium" on the right side. There is no football stadium but there is one for soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, etc. so I just need to take the "Football" out but it doesn't even show up when I go to edit. Any ideas?
Suspected SockpuppetryHello. My user page begins with the "Suspected Abuse of Multiple Account" and "suspected sockpuppetry" notice. In fact I did use my logged-in account and my IP address to make a point about an edit, but I was unaware of a specific rule against such an act (underhanded, I figured; unlawful, I didn't know). Can you tell me if there is some sort of statute of limitations on this notice and if there might be a period of time after which no similar act occurs and good standing is maintained, when the notice can be removed from the page and merely be archived? In other words, is there such a thing as making amends and gaining release? Thank you, Lantana11 (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Lantana11Lantana11 (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I am having an incredible amount of difficulty displaying a picture of myself. I had uploaded some tagged images that i didn't get a license properly applied. Once I have gotten the licensing cleared I still can't get the picture up on my user page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here is a link to the Page with the picture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Edwins_Picture.JPEG --Edwin Larkin (talk) 16:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC) ![]() Image LocationNow I'm having difficulty with locating the image on the right side. I have tried multiple times to relocate my image. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --Edwin Larkin (talk) 16:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC) ![]() Userpage design helpI have an annoying "contents" box that I want to get rid of. My way of fixing it would remove the edit link in my vandal box. I want the edit link, but don't want the contents box. The same thing is happening here, as well. There is also a few other issues on that page that require minor fixing for someone experienced to look at. |
