Writing "no skills" makes it clear that it is known for a fact that the said sim doesn't have any skills. But I'll stop anyway if you say so. - [[User:Kai 12\|Kai 12]] ([[User talk:Kai 12\|talk]]) 02:07, June 19, 2017 (UTC) ::Well, no one's actually addressed it from that perspective before. Since we've always not included information where the Sims have no skills. It probably would be best to not continue adding that the Sims have no skills, although it would be a good idea to bring the issue up on a talk page. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65\|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65\|<font color="black">talk</font>]] \| [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65\|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 02:46, June 19, 2017 (UTC) :::Okay, I won't do it any more. Thanks for letting me know. - [[User:Kai 12\|Kai 12]] ([[User talk:Kai 12\|talk]]) 04:14, June 19, 2017 (UTC) ==Capitalization in titles== Per [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Social_Media&diff=prev&oldid=774193 your recent page move], note that on The Sims Wiki, titles should be written in sentence case, which means that letters should be written in lowercase unless it's always capitalized or if it's the first letter in a sentence. See [[The_Sims_Wiki%3AManual_of_Style#Naming_conventions\|The Sims Wiki:Manual of Style § Naming conventions]]. Hence, we write [[Skydiving simulator]] instead of "Skydiving Simulator", or [[Bubble bar]] instead of "Bubble Bar". —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 13:49, June 27, 2017 (UTC) ==Making test edits to template== Hi Kai 12. I noticed you made some "test" edits to [[Template:GetCareerCat‎]]. In the future, please make test edits to templates on another page and test your changes there. For example, you can create [[Template:GetCareerCat‎/test]], copy the contents of [[Template:GetCareerCat‎]] over to that page, make your changes, and then test in [[Project:Sandbox\|the sandbox]] or a page in your userspace. This is important, since a mistake in a template can cause problems on thousands of pages potentially. Testing your changes before applying them ensures that as few mistakes get through as possible. Feel free to let me know if you need more help with templates. Thanks, —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 14:41, June 27, 2017 (UTC) :Also, with your recent [[Special:Diff/774775\|edit]] to [[Template:GetTraitCat]], you wound up having the template add every page that used "music lover" and ''before'' to [[:Category:Music Lover Sims]] (A category that doesn't even exist). The template uses the [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23switch\|#switch]] parser function, and the way you edited the template resulted in that gigantic mistake occurring. Like I said earlier, if you want to test or develop a template, it's probably best you create a "test" page for it and develop it there. In this case, you either had to use a "test" page for development, or complete the template all in one go. Please note that you should edit templates like this one very carefully, since one simple mistake can cause a lot of problems. If you need to save drafts of a template you're working on, you should never save it to the main template page. —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 17:57, June 29, 2017 (UTC) ==RE: Help with Templates== {{tl\|GetTraitCat}} has now been updated. As for any pages that were affected, they should automatically be fixed and updated over time as the servers update their caches. If you see a page that still has this problem, try [[Help:Purge\|purging]] it. —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 19:46, June 29, 2017 (UTC)
