Left 4 Dead Wiki:Personalizing your user page

Welcome to the Left 4 Dead Wiki! Now while it is important to keep the Wiki in top condition, don’t be shy to tell us a bit about yourself. Though it isn’t required to have a small profile of information written on your user page, it can shed a little light on your personality and background. That’s why your user page is so important. The Wiki provides various resources to make user page making simple and effective for all its users, this page will explain these various tools as well as extras.

What kind of things are important?
Well anything really. Your interests actually reflect where your edits lie, and could help administration suggest pages that relate to your interests. Just try to keep it safe for work, and nothing offensive.

We also have a collection of user boxes which you’re all free to use to express yourself on your user page. An example of a user box is as such:

All User boxes can be found here!

We also provide a general identification slip known as an infobox. The infobox provides general information such as name/alias, email, website(s), computer specs, Steam IDs, and Xbox Live accounts, as well as favorite features in the Left 4 Dead series.

The User Infobox can be found here!

Some extra features
This section goes into more detail dealing with HTML codes.

Page background
To add a background to the entire page, you can use this code:

The blank sections such as “#______” requires a hexadecimal code. You can find useful Hex code references here. However if there’s a particular color you want exact, you can place the RGB digits here and it will provide the Hex code needed. Just place the six digits in the blanks and it’ll come out as you want.

So if Orange = FF8800 An example of a page with an orange background would look like this:

The “border:_px” is for a border you may or may not want around your page. Just place the thickness and color you want.

Black = 000000 Example:

Don’t forget to have the code end, with |}, at the bottom of the page so everything lays on top of the color.

Tables
Tables are a lot simpler than many might think. A few important terms are: colspan=”#” = Width of section.
 * - = A new section from left to right.
 * = A new section from top to bottom

Here’s an example table taken from the Wikia help page:

Boxed in sections
Placing a box around your section is as easy as placing a background on your page. The only difference is, this code just surrounds a section of the page rather than extending all the way to the bottom of the page.
