Welcome! I'm afraid your edits are breaking some things

[edit]

Hello Strawberrymilk 0, welcome to Wikipedia! Below this note I'll leave a welcome message with a lot of useful links. Thanks for your edits to grammar and such. I'm afraid that some of them are breaking the formatting on Wikipedia pages. For example, when you changed "cite web" to "cite the web" with this edit, you broke one of the references on the page. See, that text was in a template called Template:Cite web, and the formatting has to be in a certain way for the template to work. By adding "the" you made the code try to use a template called Template:Cite the web, and since no such template exists, an error resulted. Please be careful when modifying text that is in {{Double curly brackets}}. Thanks, and happy editing. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 15:49, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello, Strawberrymilk 0. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend asking at the Teahouse (a help page for new users). Or, you could try getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 15:49, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
