==Just an Idea==

O.K., I was thinking of making an edit to the fan person template adding on favorites. Like favorite character, favorite video, favorite ARG, favorite article, etc. Also we can add in little personal things such as favorite color, food, TV show, and things like that. I'm not sure, really. It would give it more of an "about me" feel in the user pages. I want to get feedback before I do anything because I have done that before, and it makes me look lie a wikiwhore, if you know what I mean. So what is all of y'all's point of view </texan accent> Love, [[User:-R-|-R-]] 00:39, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

Question

Hey, I'm curious -- what does 'first' and 'last' refer to when the current look has it blank??--Pheon 11:42, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

It should only be blank if you don't have anything in there. If you put something for first/last you should get the normal "Person" display. (Should being the operative word here.) --Zoey 20:49, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
Well, FYI, its not working on my profile for some reason (that, or I'm just being a moron . . . which is more common than I'd wish :P).--Pheon 02:16, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
It's totally just you being a moron!! Haha, no I'm kidding. I have no idea. I don't have time atm but later I shall look into it. Thanks for letting me know!! --Zoey 12:55, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, Pheon is right. Now there's a big chunk of empty space on my profile, and I filled in the "first" and "last" things.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 15:22, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
