On Antarctican

Hello Linguist Wannabee!

When I added categories to the Antarctican page, I noticed that your page is littered with rather foreign code? I must ask if this was intended? Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:21, 26 January 2013 (CET)

Hi Waahlis,

Not intended at all, I just wrote the whole thing in Microsoft Office and then exported it to HTML. If it has put some weird code in, then feel free to edit it out.


Ah, I suspected as much! I do not know why the editor doesn't like copying, but I'll try to fix it. :) Also, don't forget to sign with ~~~~! Waahlis.png Waahlis 12:53, 27 January 2013 (CET)


Okay, so I've begun clearing your code and fixing layout and terminology. I must however advise you to change your method of editing; currently, your contributions occupy at the very least 50 times as much space as normal edits, and they bring technical problems... :/ Advice:

  • Do not copy from Microsoft Office.
    • Try mimicking my code.
  • All examples are more intelligible if preceeded by an asterisk "*", which produces a bullet point.
    • Try writing grammatical information in brackets or the like! :) In addition you could make abbreviations - from absolutive you get "abs".
  • Headers are made through writing ==Header==, with two equality signs giving the biggest header.
    • Only the first initial in headers is by convention capitalised.

Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 14:26, 27 January 2013 (CET)

Hey Waahlis,

Thanks a lot for cleaning up the code :) But for future editing, do you know of any freeware WYSIWYG editing tool that will generate code that I can just paste in?
