About Editing
The USERNAME template
On some pages, you may see your username included in a place you did not expect. It is possible that the author of the comment or page has used the USERNAME template, which automatically fills in the username of the user viewing the page. You can replicate the effect by typing {{USERNAME}}. This should only be used on personal pages or threads.
Floating Images
User pages can have images fixed to a certain part of the window so that they appear to be floating in place. This can be done with some simple CSS code such as <div style="position:fixed;left:100px;top:300px">[[File:Image.png]]</div>. However, these images cannot be too large or positioned in such a way that they block parts of the normal Wikia interface, as that would be a violation of the Wikia Terms of Use. This type of formatting should not be used on articles.
Date and Time variables
Occasionally, people include date and time variables which return the current date or time. This is normally found on message wall greetings or user pages. This can be done by using the following variables:
| Variable | Output | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
{{CURRENTYEAR}}
|
2024 | The year it currently is | ||
{{CURRENTMONTH}}
|
10 | The number of the current month (padded with a zero) | ||
{{CURRENTDAY}}
|
7 | The number of the current day (not padded with a zero) | ||
{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}
|
Monday | The name of the current day of the week | ||
{{CURRENTWEEK}}
|
41 | The current week number |
