Daily Photo

Salve! You can't really edit Template:HU:DailyPhoto directly. It is created automatically every day, so any change you make will be lost. Instead, edit NovaRoma:DailyPhotoData. I think you can see how that page works... it holds the captions for every language. Agricola 02:43, 19 March 2008 (CET)

How to do a summary include

Salve! I see that on the aedes Concordiae page, you are pulling in the whole article Concordia. That is fine, but I want to show you an alternative that you might like. This is how to bring in only part of an article, and then to have a link to the entire article. First, use <onlyinclude> and </onlyinclude> to mark the part of Concordia that you want to use. Instead of using {{:Concordia}} to bring in the whole article, use {{Include summary|Concordia}} . You will get just the part that you marked and there will be an automatic link to the entire article. We use this on all the Main Pages. Please feel free to use this or not, and if you have any trouble or questions, please contact me. Agricola 02:30, 2 March 2008 (CET)

Please wait on the HU pages

Salve Lentule! Please wait a bit before creating more HU pages. We have not created the HU namespace yet. So although it looks like you have pages in the HU namespace, you are actually creating pages in the MAIN namespace with titles that all befin "HU:". I know it is a subtle difference, but an important one. For example, the templates that are globalized so that they work in all namespaces won't work for Hungarian because the Hungarian pages are not actually "in" an HU namespace.

Fourfold way

Salve! Thank you for helping, but please remember to follow all steps of the Fourfold Way:

The Fourfold way is the basic set of steps used for all edits.

Step 1. Click the edit tab to start making your edits.

Step 2. Enter a note in the edit Summary so others know what you have done. A summary might be as simple as "fix typos", "add links" or "add photo". Not leaving a summary is very bad form.

Step 3. Show preview to check your changes. If it isn't right, go back and do more editing. Every time you save, you create a version of the page that will be saved forever. Unnecessary saves create unnecessary load when backing up the database. Be kind to the server and preview before saving.

Step 4. When you have checked everything, click Save page.
