Officially welcoming you again ;)

Welcome Seven Thousand Spiders In A Trenchcoat!

Hello Seven Thousand Spiders In A Trenchcoat. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm CrafterNova, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Intro to installing and using gadgets and user scripts

Before I go off for a wikibreak, I wanted to give you these technical details.
To enhance editing, accessibility and user experience on Wikipedia, there are many softwares that can be installed such as gadgets and user scripts.
These are listed at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and Wikipedia:User scripts/List.

For installation, some subpages of your userpage have to be created, as below:

Seven Thousand Spiders In A Trenchcoat/common.js (JavaScript),

Seven Thousand Spiders In A Trenchcoat/common.css (Cascading style sheets) both for locally installing scripts on a single wiki, and

Seven Thousand Spiders In A Trenchcoat/global.js for installing scripts on all your accounts of all Wikimedia projects.

For a constantly updated list of projects that you participate in, you can visit here.

To make logging into every wiki (affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation) easier, you can create a global account at Meta-Wiki. This is done by a process called Single User Login (SUL).

You can either copy paste code of a script or simply install the Script Installer (which can install most scripts with a click of a button).

In my opinion, the most useful scripts are:

Wikipedia:Dark mode (described at User:Volker E. (WMF)/dark-mode),

Red Warn,

Twinkle,

Image Annotator,

Print Options,

Revision Jumper,

Reference Tooltips,

UTC Live Clock,

XTools,

More Menu,

Citation Expander,

ShortDesc Helper
and
Syntax Highlighter.

If you need any help regarding installation and usage of scripts, you can message me at my talk page, or discuss at Wikipedia talk:Gadget and Wikipedia talk:User scripts. Hope to see you again ;) —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ]  [ CONT ]} 06:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
