Tips
- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 13:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
About your user talk message
[edit]Your user talk message seems to have an error. When I tried clicking on it, it sends me to a Soapyduck article ( XD ) instead of your userspace.
You might consider fixing it like this : Soapforduck(Say what?)(Did what?)
You can copy that by editing source ;) 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 15:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- @YesI'mOnFire It's working fine for me. That's strange. Mmmm lemme double check on my sister's Wikipedia account (she's no longer active but still uses it). Soapforduck(Say what?)(Did what?) 17:56, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- @YesI'mOnFire It's me Soapyduck, well not really. It's my sister's account but she won't mind. The link works just fine this side too. UnpopularIdea (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- But the one you provided isn't working for me. Soapforduck(Say what?)(Did what?) 18:09, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Soapyduck How is it not working? Can you tell me?
- I see that you still have not change your signature (not about user talk message or whatever i'm saying... sry for that misunderstanding)
- Try changing it to this: Soapforduck(Say what?)(Did what?) (you can use edit source to copy the entire thing) 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 13:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @YesI'mOnFire I might be lost in this conversation but to clear things up. My original signature has no problems but something is wrong on your side? But the one you provide has a problem for me, "Say What?" does not take me to my user page but the other does. And the strange thing is that under this topic my signature is the one you suggested (with "Say What?" in bold instead of a link) whereas other places my signature is my original one.

- @Soapyduck
- So, "Say What?" is the link to your talk page, it is still here but it does not show because we are already on the page. If you are not sure, go to my talk page, scroll down to the conversation that we have, and press on your "Say What?", it should take you right back to this talk page. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 13:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
