I got bored... I'm really just waiting for Extension:Parserfunctions before I do many more content edits and I didn't want to take much time to do maps today.

Help in building a wiki profile

I think I have found out how this thing works. I would like to do something like what you have done on your Wiki profile. I am not wanting to copy yours exactly but do the same thing so mine does not get any longer where you have to scroll to get to the section you want. I also copied the guild structure code and placed it on my profile but I wanted to add some more to it so it would be easier for the other guild members to know what it would take to upgrade it, the upkeep and to build the structure. I have some knowledge of html coding and have found out that there are some differences in the coding for the wiki. Also how can I get or make a signature that I can put at the end of my postings.

There are instructions how to make your own signature at Category:User Signatures. Also, you use ~~~~ to sign your comments and it will generate a basic signature (with timestamp) if you don't have a special one set up.
I'm glad you have some basic html knowledge since that will make it much easier for you. Wiki markup is essentially the same as html but replaces some of the tags with abbreviated versions. I have links to many basic wiki help pages partway down on my user page and recommend you get to know at least some of the basic formatting.
Concerning your page, I'm guessing you want to have tabs at the top the way I do. I do this by having a subpage called User:Belgrave/Tabs with the tabs and then putting {{User:Belgrave/Tabs}} (format to include it just like a template) at the top of every page I want the tabs on. Every tab then links to my user page or one of my user subpages. Each of those pages has the basic table that contains everything and inside it I include other subpages the same way I'm including the tabs. This makes it easy to setup the pages and keeps the code easily editable. Keep in mind, one of the easiest ways to put together a page is to copy someone else's and then edit it to fit your needs.
