User talk:MatthiasRat

Hey there. Welcome to Shifti. --Buck 16:11, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Charles, please review the Posting Stories page. Wiki-style posting is quirky. --Buck 16:25, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Don't forget the 'User:' bit when putting in pages that are sub-pages of your user page, Matthias. I've fixed it up for you already, that's just for future reference. — ShadowWolf 16:14, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Okay, how do I fix a page that I created but then the location was changed. Can I just change the location of a page? And what am I supposed to do when a page I'm trying to create has been edit locked? MatthiasRat 16:26, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Charles, don't worry about the errors. We'll fix it. :) --Buck 16:28, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Good! Thank you! I like to think I'm technically competent at this sort of thing! Now if you could get LaTeX working, that'd be really cool. ;-) MatthiasRat 16:32, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Hrm... I'll look into it. It is my server, after all. :P — ShadowWolf 16:33, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Okay, seems like MediaWiki doesn't come with everything needed to support TeX. Installing. — ShadowWolf 16:44, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Awww! If you can makeit work, great! If not, I'll survive! We Rat/Trike's are a hardy breed! MatthiasRat 16:45, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Done. Just had to really study the available documentation to get the settings correct. — ShadowWolf 17:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Hey, just wanted to say thank you both for the welcome and for the help! Eventually I won't feel like a complete klutz! Thank you, Jon, and thank you, Shadow! :-) MatthiasRat 16:46, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

It's all part of the attempt to make Shifti a great place to post stories and read them! — ShadowWolf 17:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Quick question then. Why is it when I click the 'Stories By Author' link, my name doesn't show up? Oh, you guys are doing a great job by the way. :-) MatthiasRat 17:42, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

I'll fix that. When you add a story you should add [[Category:MatthiasRat]] to it. It'll show up at the bottom of the page. Click on that and add [[Category:Stories by author]] to the resulting page. But I'll fix things for you :) — ShadowWolf 17:50, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

There, all fixed. And I've done some janitorial organization—adding categories, default-sort tags and the series box to "A Long Forgotten Madness". — ShadowWolf 18:14, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Did a bit of janitorial work myself, hope you don't mind. Welcome aboard! :) Bryan 21:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Thank you, Bryan! It's great to finally have had some time to post stories here! My non MK stuff needs a good home too! :-) And big thanks for listing An Unexpected Stop as a favourite! I still love that story (and the irony is that I live in Pittsburgh now and think its a lovely city!) MatthiasRat 00:10, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Template:My stories

Hi, just thought I should drop a note here since I imagine most authors won't be regularly checking Help:Templates for updates. I've finally added a template that I should have created long ago, a tag to put on userpages to facilitate linking to your personal story category; Template:My stories. If you want (it's entirely optional), just stick this code at the top of your userpage to create a standardized little box with a direct link in it: {{my stories}}.

Metamor Keep

About the Marzac storyline: will the "Tales of Sand and Ice" be put on the official page? Also, is this underworld different from the hell described in other works (ie freezing over)?
