User talk:Briansnotes
Welcome!
[edit]Hi Briansnotes! I noticed your contributions to Thomas Breakwell 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:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
P.S. I notice when I click on "Briansnotes" that I don't even have a user page; ok, it's another New Year's resolution to create one (sometime soon) -- if you've got any tips for that feel free to share 'em!
- Yes that's a thing. Hardly necessary but if you want people who look you up in wikipedia to know about you yes that can be a thing. I suggest looking at histories of editors you like and look at their pages and then scale relative to your needs and circumstances. Smkolins (talk) 19:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Happy editing! Smkolins (talk) 18:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Smkolins, thanks a bunch for the assist, I have lots to learn!
My wiki-edits are infrequent and it hasn't been a habit to sign with those tildes, I'll do my best to add that in future. . . let's see if I can do it this time! ;-)
Btw, I notice you did a page on Maya Bohnhoff, she's a special lady in our community, we just saw her and Jeff and Amanda last week at Feast!
Thanks for all your service on these pages! Teacher Brian (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Welcome aboard and yes a learning curve. We all learn it. The signature stuff was not my entry on your page but yes it helps to 'sign' talk page comments like this. Smkolins (talk) 19:28, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Problem with your custom signature
[edit]You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
