Haeremai, welcome, talofa, Willkommen, bienvenue, welkom
Hello, and welcome to Familypedia, the Genealogy wiki! We volunteers hope you can continue making contributions to articles and/or discussion and other improvements.

If you are new to Wikia or wikis in general, a visit to Help:Contents will be well worth while.

However, all intending contributors, even those experienced with wikis, will get something of value from Help:Contents because our "Help" pages are much more than an editing guide.

You could check out the &quot;Community portal&quot; for an outline of some of the main features, links to pages that tell you how to edit, and the link to a guided tour of selected pages that illustrate ways you may enjoy using the site.

To start right in creating pages for your ancestors, we strongly urge at least one read of the guidance page so that you get the best setup for easy linking and time-saving.

Please consider adding a &quot;Babel&quot; template to your user page, if you have not already done so, so that others know which languages you are comfortable reading. The site is basically in English but there is no prohibition on other languages and we have ways of linking to translations. We already have, for example, over 100 kB in Spanish, dozens of pages in French, and a little Russian, German, and Norwegian, with easy ways of linking languages.

A good place to start each visit is the "recent changes" page, where all edits and their authors (anonymous or signed-in) are listed. Bookmark it, maybe. (And help delete spam - unpleasant but a fact of life.)

There's an email list system used to get messages to all listed members: see Familypedia:Mailing list. "Traffic" is not high, so you will not risk flooding your inbox by joining.

You're most welcome to add your user page to a category for your country - see Category:Contributors and create a category if yours is not there.

Discussion of any aspect of the site, and enquiries, can be made through a Forum or on the Talk page associated with each article. Sign and date your contributions there (by typing " ~ " or clicking the "signature" button), so that readers know "who to talk to" and whether your message is probably still of current interest. If you write on a user's "talk" page, that user will get an alerting message on next visit.

It would be good if you could indicate on your user page how you discovered this site.

Please leave a message on my talk page if you think I may help with anything! -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (Talk) 19:21, January 14, 2011

Is Constantin Mincu (1969) the same person as Constantin Mincu (1973)? Thurstan (talk) 21:08, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Revamp
Hello Afil,

I see your the admin to most recently edit on the wiki and I would like to say what a great job you have done with this wiki. However, the wiki is look a bit dated and tired and is in need of a wiki revamp. I think I would be able to transform this wiki around into something easy to use and good to look at. I would like to ask your for permissions. I hope you can get back to me.

Hello
Maybe I am just being stupid, but I am trying to get your family tree template to work on my wiki (which can be found [ http://onceuponatimefanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_Fanfiction_Wiki)... but it's not working and the pages on this wiki confuse me and make little sense to somebody not entirely technologically minded.

Can you help? Or, make the pages with a step by step one by one guide that someone dumb can understand? --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 04:07, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

There. Fixed. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 00:00, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Hello... again
I am trying to get the family tree templates to work on my wiki... but all I get are a bunch of boxes in long lines. Can you tell me where I am going wrong? It's probably something simple, but the wording on this wiki is so complicated that I have no idea what the hell is wrong --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 17:09, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

I haven't posted it in an article yet, I cannot get the template to work. I can get a row of 80 boxes to appear, but that is all. You can see what I am able to do, here: http://onceuponatimefanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2571 --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 19:36, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

The basic one you suggest to take and change doesn't work on the wiki, that's why I came here. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 20:56, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
