Re:Check-in
Here's the responses to your questions:

1. For the userbox towers, put the following on your user page:

Then, right below that, put the userboxes you want. Userboxes are listed here. If you want to put a userbox from the page Template:PC, you would put.

After that, you put.

Userbox example:

This would display:

2. The best way to become friends of other users is to contribute to talk page (pages whose names begin with "Talk:", "User talk:", "Template talk:", etc.) and forum discussions (pages that begin with "Topic:". The most recent edits, including discussions can be found at Special:RecentChanges. This page is a great way to stay up to date with what's happening on the wiki.

3. No, you don't always have to talk in a speech bubble, it's just a fad that's been going around lately. For help with making one of those, go to Template:Word Bubble. I hope that helps.

4. The talk pages are pages to discuss the articles they are associated with. For example, Talk:Pikmin: Ultimate Doom is a page to discuss the article Pikmin: Ultimate Doom and User talk:Volatile Dweevil is a page to leave messages for me and have discussions with me. When a talk page (usually a user talk page) gets too long, old discussions are put in a talk page archive, to make access to newer discussions easier. Talk page archives should not be edited.

5. There actually is no real wiki government, and no advanced rules, sadly, and The Council, The White Room, Official Court, and IWRT Portal do absolutely nothing, and issue that I recently brought up on the forums.

Yeah, it's really no problem at all. I'm an admin here and I'm supposed to help out with these kinds of things.


 * Wow, that helps a lot. At least I don't have to worry about those "government" things. And for the friends thing, are you saying I should just talk to them nicely or something? Now, not to be rude or anything, what do you mean by "old discussions are put in a talk page archive, to make access to newer discussions easier."? Like, are multiple talk pages one archive? Or is an archive a talk page that's long and old? Please verify. And also, I finished my userboxes before I read your explanation. I'm so sorry!


 * Plus (even though I'm going off topic), I would like to help out with Pikmin: Ultimate Doom.


 * See you.

 * Yeah, the way I got to know the users when I joined was to participate in the discussions on the talk pages, so that's what I meant.


 * It's kind of hard to explain the archives thing, let me try again. Basically, when someone's talk page gets way long, they move some of the old discussions to the archive to shorten up their talk page.


 * Peanut64 is in charge of Pikmin: Ultimate Doom. Ask him if you want to help out.


 * Thanks, Volatile!! Your explanation of the archives was very, very clear. Also, Peanut wrote on my page saying that I wasn't able to help with PUD 'cause only the creators were able to edit it.


 * Have a nice day.

Re:Two quickies
Hey, Pikfan. I'll try to answer these questions the best I can.

1. I have a game banner example here. I have what each part does on the banner labeled, and the "Show preview" button below the edit box should help you. Once you are finished, use the "move" button at the top of the page and move it to "Template:". Also, the things at the end of the paragraphs are signatures, or "sigs". If you put a drawing of what you want your sig to look like on your talk page, I will make one for you.

2. To put your name in Category:Users, just put  anywhere on your user page.

Well hello! I am glad you have come here to help. Unfortunately Pikmin: Ultimate Doom is only for edit by the creators, but you are more than welcome to make your own game!
