Um, can you take a little bit more care when formatting new pages? Do you use the preview button? I have no idea what you tried to achieve by putting all those {’s in pharmacogenetic, please review my change to it. H. (talk) 15:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, this wasn’t meant to be rude. For templates, see Help:Template, which is a stub as of now, but directs you to the general page on metawiki.  In short, as a normal user you always need exactly two {’s, then the name of the template you want to use, if necessary followed by  pipe symbol, |, and the parameters, and finished off with another two closing brackets, }.  Only inside templates do the brackets occur in triples, where they delimit the parameters of the template.  But first you need to get used to the basic stuff, before trying to hack into templates ;-).


 * That the preview button does not show you what will come out afterward is relatively seldom. As far as I know, it only happens when you use magic words, like REDIRECT.  So it still is a good idea to use it and make sure it looks good there before saving.  There’s nothing wrong with some experimenting of course, and it is unfortunate that you didn’t have time to fix your error.  Please feel free to ask questions if you have more of them, or join us on irc.  Cheers, H. (talk) 21:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
