User talk:Xnerkcd
So originally, this had just been flooded with me trying to tell people wrong information, and then telling them stuff that they already knew. So I've decided to just start over again. If your comment(s) were deleted, I don't mean any offense, I just wanted to start over again.
So, with that over, welcome to my talk page! You can ask me any questions or whatever, just use it as a normal discussion page. --xnerkcd (talk) 07:42, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Creating pages.[edit]
Hi again (and, as someone who was deleted in your start-over, yup, that was fine...). Just want to repeat (then exand upon) something I said on a User page that you created. i.e. that anybody who hasn't got a User page, and has been around a while, probably isn't looking to get one. And, as you have discovered, anyone too new to create their own can always ask for it. It is good that you're now have page-creation rights, but best not to do that too much (if at all) until you have a bit more experience behind you. There are many cases where pages have to be marked for deletion (not that they get deleted very quickly, but the intent is valid) that might have been better not to have been made real in the first place.
If in doubt, you could always ask. But, as far as User (and User Talk) pages, there's nothing wrong with redtext links in Talk comment signatures.
Elsewhere, the problem is probably with the link being wrong, if red, but it's also usually not a good reason to create a page 'begging' to exist in this way. Best to suggest something new (e.g. a new comic category), rather than add its markup and create the page from there. Get to know the standards and conventions a bit more. There are plenty of regular long-term users who can either advise you or even do the job in a way that works both for you and how things work. Counting just the named ones, that is, as I (nameless IP) can only do the advising bit, like now... ;) 172.70.162.57 15:24, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
