Redirects
Yes, we do have redirects. To create one type: #REDIRECT [[Destination here]] Hope that helped.----Skittles the hog--Talk 10:58, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm not aware of any faults concerning redirects and the technical aspects of wikia aren't really my field.----Skittles the hog--Talk 11:10, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
signature
I saw you message one User:CzechOut page, so sorry for butting in. The easiest thing for you to do if you want a custom signature is to go to "My Preferences" which is located under your Username at the top right hand corner. If you scroll down you will see an area to personalize your signature. (I'm not sure how to add colour etc).
Once your down, save it and you can sign your post with the four ~~~~ and this will automatically add your signature. Mini-mitch\talk 11:18, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Please see help:signatures. I obviously don't know how you have your signature line set up in Special:Preferences, but that help file should give you a good overview of how to create a signature that works using templates.

- Glad you found the help file useful, and that it was successful in instructing you how to make things work. Lets me know I was writing reasonably clearly. I made a slight change to your sig file (which, by the way, I quite like. Lovely retro 70s look). The link to user talk pages is user talk:username not talk:username. So, as you can see, talk:Wildheart7 is a redlink, while user talk:Wildheart7 is a working bluelink. (Well, cause we're on that page right now, it's actually a black link. But what's a shade or two between friends?)
- A little word of caution about font families. In high web design theory, you should create what's called a "font stack", rather than including only one family. The chances of most people actually having Consolas on their sstem is quite small. (About a quarter of Windows users don't have the font installed. But 75% of Mac users don't have it installed. And Linux/Ubuntu users don't even have Consolas available to them at all.) So you should create a list of alternative fonts that are somewhat close to what you want. Peoples' browsers will then try each of the fonts, in order, until it finds one it can use. Click here for a good overview of the concept, and here for a free font stack generator that tells you the probability that your font stack will result in a font that people actually have on their systems. (On my system, incidentally, your signature is just falling through to the random generic font of Tahoma.)
