Creating a list of internal links
*[[A]]
*[[B]]
*[[C]]
*[[D]]
Making templates
{{{1}}} creates a parameter for a template
{{{1|car}}} creates a parameter for a template whose default is car
{{{myage}}} creates a parameter named myage for a template
{{{myage|car}}} creates a parameter named myage for a template whose default is car
named parameters for example {{myage}} versus {{{1}}} or {{{2}}} or {{{3}}} do not have to be put in any particular order
for example let us say there is a template called Template:User age, that looks like this, {{{1}}} is my age
you would put {{User age|12}} for the template to display, 12 is my age
another example let us say there is a template called Template:User age, that looks like this, {{{1}}} is my age, I was born in the month, {{{2}}}
you would put {{User age|12|December}} for the template to display, 12 is my age I was born in the month December
another example let us say there is a template called Template:User age, that looks like this, {{{myage}}} is my age
you would put {{User age|myage=19}} for the template to display, 19 is my age
another example let us say there is a template called Template:User age, that looks like this, {{{myage}}} is my age, I was born in the month, {{{mymonth}}}
you would put {{User age|myage=19|my month=January}} for the template to display, 19 is my age, I was born in the month, January you also could put {{User age|my month=January|myage=19}} for the same result
How do you make a custom signature
first make a subpage of user page which has your custom signature for example, User:Deborah/sig go to, my preferences click on raw signatures and put {{SUBST:User:Deborah/sig}}
