Hi, I got your message, and replied to it further down, but I was surprised to see no one has given you a welcome yet, and while you probably know most of this stuff, I'll give you one anyway :). Robert 03:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi M Johnson! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Happy editing!

Now, to answer your question...

Well, I customized most of those boxes. Here's how to make a basic babel (let's say we want to use native english, advanced italian, and intermediate spanish):

{{babel-3|en|it-3|es-2}}

Note: (Babel-3 is the number of boxes you want, change the number if you want more or less.)

That will display like the box on the right. You can also see Wikipedia:Babel for more information about it.

Now, mine are a bit different. Since some of the boxes I use aren't templates (such as the DS and PSP one), I can't insert them in the template I just showed you, like I can with en and es. So, if you want custom boxes, you'll have to set up your babel like this...

{| style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; width: 242px; border: #99B3FF solid 1px"
|
<center>'''[[Wikipedia:Babel]]'''</center>
|-
| {{User en}}
|-
| {{User it-3}}
|-
| {{User es-2}}
|}

...and then insert custom boxes as tables, using <div> tags to do so. If you want to see examples of that, take a look at the code on my babel page. I know it might be a little confusing, but I hope that helps a bit. If you want a babel that just has languages, just use the simple {{babel}} template I mentioned on top. Happy editing!

Please don't remove red links just because an article hasn't yet been written. Wikipedia has many articles on railway stations, and I have little doubt we'll have articles on the stations on the Merredin line in the not-too-distant future. As such, I've reverted your edits to Transwa Avonlink. Ambi 09:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from. There's quite a few station articles that consist of little more than a succession box (Melbourne and Paris being two major examples of this), so it'd be forgivable if you did create them, but I can completely understand not wanting to create what is a rather useless article. It's just that if they aren't red links then they tend not to ever get created. Ambi 09:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

G'day

Thanks for your contributions. Its great to have another good editor working on WA articles. As far as I know, WA only has about 10 active Wikipedians. If you need any help with admin-ish stuff, feel free to bug me.

You might like to add your user page to Category:Wikipedians in Western Australia and Category:Australian Wikipedians.

Actually

You removed the sprotected template from GWB. Actually that is correct. It is indeed semi-protected. It's new. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 08:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tables formatting

Thank you for your contributions on the succession boxes for suburbs that have railway connections, however, seems your edits made the broken tables ([1], [2], et al). However, I have fixed those broken tables. Please see m:Help:Tables for details about creating tables on pages on MediaWiki software.

By the way, please share the discussions on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Perth#About_Train_Station succession_boxes about the opinion for the train station succession boxes in Perth.

Have a nice editing. :-) --Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 10:00, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Perth Userbox

Hi there! Thanks for the userbox, i don't know quite what i was thinking at the time, with the colour scheme! LOL. Anyway, i was thinking of taking a new picture of Perth Train Station, seeing as some renovations have taken place. Are you familiar with Perth Station? If you are do you have a suggestion of where it should be taken? Thanks! --Ali K 08:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I have notified other members of the WikiProject Perth who either had my old userbox or had an interest in userboxes, so shortly everyone will be using the same one, Cheers, --Ali K 14:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime, and will do with the picture, im there 6 times a week :)--Ali K 07:48, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
