info box

New page

Simple questions on wiki formatting may be left here. To leave a question, either click EDIT at the top of the page, type your question, then click the SAVE PAGE button below the edit window - or just use the + symbol to the right of the edit tab to start a new section.

==Please Start New Questions At the Bottom of the Page==

== Add vs. Edit? ==

I'm admittedly new to the "talk" feature but would it make sense to have editors use the + link (to the right of Edit) to add a question rather than edit the contents of the talk page directly?

[[User:Bobbitt|Bobbitt]] 16:34, 17 May 2006 (EDT) :)

== Wow ==

Huh....been using wikipedia for months and never fooled around with the + symbol before. Seems to work nice! Don't forget to sign your name by typing four tildes in a row <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> !! :-) [[User:Michael Dorosh|Michael Dorosh]] 16:29, 17 May 2006 (EDT)
:For adding replies, you would still have to EDIT the section; but the + is good for new questions. Thanks for pointing that out! [[User:Michael Dorosh|Michael Dorosh]] 16:30, 17 May 2006 (EDT)

== Colour of info boxes ==

I see you changed the info box of the Winnipeg Rifles to green. Does this mean all rifle regiments are going to be green? I would like to know for future reference so that I can make the change right away. I was wondering if the colours were related to berret colours in any way.
*I thought because it was a Rifle Regiment it might look good in rifle green with black letters. The colours I've been using so far have been
**Armoured Regiment: Black (white letters)
**Infantry Regiment: Scarlet (white letters)
**Rifle Regiment: Green (black letters)
**Engineer Regiment: Navy (red letters)
**Airborne Regiment: Maroon
**CSOR: Tan

The last two were inspired by beret colour I suppose. :-) Just seemed natural...any suggestions on a better system are ok by me.[[User:Michael Dorosh|Michael Dorosh]] 23:24, 19 May 2006 (EDT)

== info box ==

I assume the info box is that which holds unit crests on the regimental info pages, I would like to add one to the RMR one but Idon't know how.
