How do i create a template on my oage

i want to create a template just for my useroage but i didnt find no tutorial online so please help

if you're making it just for your userpage then i think it'd be better to put the css directly in your page rather than use a template. but either way to make a template you go to page Template:YourTemplateNameHere, create the page with the css for your template then when you want to use it type {{ and look up your template's name and use it. if you dont know how to write the css just copy from another template and modify the colors (hexcodes) or text to suit your needs Cobblestone (talk) 07:56, 30 November 2024 (EST)

It's actually pretty simple. But if you don't understand mediawiki that much, You might have some troubles.

To show you, imma go with Template:NeedsMoreContext,

border: Makes the outlines of the template. Make it usually "2px solid #000", You can add a valid color in the #, Just, make the letters big.

padding: I really don't know about this. It adds a.. Padding? I guess. Add a valid px and you're done, After you type in the px, Make sure to add ;". 

cellpadding= - cellspacing= : Probably something the padding. I usually use style margin, by the way, You don't add px to this. Just add a number.

align= : Aligns the padding and the font. Make it usually center. Add " both sides of the center. So it would be valid.

|BGCOLOR=#ffff|: Background color. Again, But it's probably something with the font because there's 2 backgrounds. Or it just adds shadows.

I'm too lazy to continue here and I don't want this paragraph to just be discarded. I'll be back soon. Anyways see ya. --Tvrkicwvrriorforyuo (talk) 11:27, 27 December 2024 (EST)

padding is the space between the borders and the stuff inside the div box or table cell in question. padding is what you apply to the box/cell and "margin" is applied to the thing inside but they both do the same thing essentially. cellpadding is like padding (but applied to all items in the table as far as i know) and cellspacing is the space between the cells (boxes) of a table themselves. also {| is syntax that starts a mediawiki table https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables/en but html style tables are less Incomprehensible so i suggest those instead. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp but actually if you just want to make a normal template you dont need a table. you can just use a div box Cobblestone (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2024 (EST)

Revamped

Main pages has been revamped (yoinked from ED with modifications). Now the dailyjak and featured gems are automatically retrieved based on a subpage with the day's date on it. if it cant find it it'll look for up to 2 days behind. now you can schedule features and jaks ahead of time. just make sure to add them to the archive linked under the relevant sections once you're done Cobblestone (talk) 10:05, 11 December 2024 (EST)

The categories section is a placeholder and must eventually be replaced with a collection of portals for soy culture ('jaks, events, soystory, soylitics) and soyical arts ('jakking, soycripture (the writing and maintenance of this wiki), adventures, soy folklore) Cobblestone (talk) 11:25, 11 December 2024 (EST)

Shouldn’t the link to soyjak.party go to soyjak.st considering the main domain is down currently and has been for a while? Also the .st domains are way more reliable in staying up then the .party ones.

good idea, i'll do that. Cobblestone (talk) 10:54, 11 December 2024 (EST)

dramatica home page much? the old page was easier on the eye tbh — Preceding unsigned comment added by De stalin (talk • contribs)

so far i've had overwhelmingly more people telling me they approve of the new page rather than disapprove so i think it was a good decision. if you have some concrete suggestions i'd be happy to take them THOUGH. the old page was dead Cobblestone (talk) 05:44, 14 December 2024 (EST)

this page is way too similar to the dramacuck homepage, maybe make it more unique? — Preceding unsigned comment added by De Stalin (talk • contribs)

Its not way too similar its straight up copied, thoughever most users here seem to love it and the guy put a lot of effort setting it up so there's nothing we can do

sure, any ideas? Cobblestone (talk) 10:59, 18 December 2024 (EST)

What do you think of the new subsection?

Tell me your opinions. FactChecker (talk) 15:32, 18 December 2024 (EST)

i think it's a good idea but coalson is of the opinion that we should have the boxes line up so we might need another section on the other side to even things out or something. also it seems you removed the paragraph styling from the major events section Cobblestone (talk) 15:54, 18 December 2024 (EST)

^^^ i would've fixed the styling thing for you but my allpageedit ran out Cobblestone (talk) 15:59, 18 December 2024 (EST)

There's a bug in the mccaptcha where the captcha can say "captcha not necessary". However when you get it and leave the captcha text field blank you will get an incorrect captcha message. plsfix (or just remove mccaptcha and replace it with the captcha on sharty o algo)

How do I edit a page's background color

Would be useful for creating seizure-inducing pages when raiding other wikis

i think only the head admin can change them through code that goes something like this in commons.css Cobblestone (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2025 (EST)

body.page-PAGE_NAME_HERE #content { background-color: #e6ffb4; } }
