Do not abuse the problem reports to complain about pages you consider to need more information. If you see a stub, feel free to expand it.--RosicrucianTalk 22:44, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I can has stubs now?

I have another problem. Maybe it's because i'm a beginner, but I have no idea how to get one of those "stub" signs up. I've had to resort to using the "Report a problem" thing, resulting in people telling me to do it myself. (Yeah,Rosicrucian, I'm talking to you.) Honestly, give me a break! - Crosshairs-1 18:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Crosshairs-1

Templates are used via curly braces (IE {{yourtemplategoeshere}}). Thus, a generic stub gets marked with {{stub}}, a character stub with {{charstub}}, a cartoon episode with {{epstub}}, and a comic issue with {{issuestub}}. Documentation for stub templates can be found at template:stub.--RosicrucianTalk 19:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
You could also find a page already marked as a stub, click "edit", and look for the marker. --M Sipher 19:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Indent formatting

Just a word of formatting advice: Unfortunately, I don't think the style sheet for this wikia includes first-line-only indents. You can indent by starting the first line with a colon (:), but this will indent the whole paragraph, not just the first line. The point is, indenting by starting a line with one or more spaces won't do it.

  Doing so makes your text look like this and includes no line wrap unless you hit <Return> manually and start the next line with at least once space as well.  Use the
"Show preview" button below this edit box to double-check yourself.  You can also check formatting by clicking the "edit" tab for a page.

In general, block paragraph format is the standard here. The first response under a section header in a Talk page should not be indented. Further responses indent with the appropriate number of colons to make it easier to follow the conversation. Check this page for more tips—assuming I'm not telling you stuff you already know.--Apcog 00:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
