Hello,

First of all sorry for the odd title. As you may or may not know I'm the admin of The Dutch Sims Wiki. And I'm working on the layout and other Wiki related stuff for quite a while. Just some things I can't figure out and I hope that some people can help me answer these questions;

  • I copied this welcome message (for anon's, users and staff members) translated them and put them on the site. However they won't show up an still result in this message. Does somebody have a clue what I'm doing wrong?
  • How do you edit the talk page so the summary box will become the title box, and it won't give you a double warning. (again I copied this one and made it like this, that's why there is a second one I guess, but how do I remove the 'original one'?

This is it for now, I simply can't remember the rest. But I do have a lot of more. Hopefully you are willing to help me.

  • This page might be able to help you out with the welcome tool. Have you checked the appropriate MediaWiki pages just in case it's accidently disabled? It looks to me that you've done everything else correctly.
  • Last time I checked that happens when you click the "Add section/New section/Add topic" button. A temporary workaround could be to append ?action=edit&section=new to the end of the URL but I'm not too sure how it works on the MediaWiki front.
Hope this helps! Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 23:03, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, the page helped me a lot. We had a message board and I didn't set any welcome message for that one. I simply changed it. For the other question; how do you make the add topic/leave a message button on a page then?
Also; How do you make the 'add license' appear on image pages? (For example the green bar on this page).
