*Remember to sign your posts to talk pages by using four tildes (<nowiki>~&#126;~&#126;</nowiki>). Alternatively, you can create a custom signature at [[User:{{PAGENAME}}/sig]], and insert it by typing <nowiki>{{User:</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}<nowiki>/sig}}</nowiki>, preferably followed by five tildes to insert the date.
*If you have a personal website (Futurama-centric or completely unrelated), feel free to add it to the [[Infosphere:Community Portal|Community Portal]]

== Uh, hi? ==
In comment to what you said, I use I think the easiest way to standardise. I copy and paste the infobox details, fill in the blanks, and eliminate the old. However, there are harder parts.
If there is a line saying 'optional', and you can't put something in the box, just erase the line.
To convert an image, take the first part of the image title (ex. '''Lrrr.jpg'''....).
Always use the preview button before finally editing- [[User:Chabby|Chabby]]


While I appreciate your work here, and please, continue to contribute, it would be a lot nicer for me if you learnt to use the wiki format. That is also to use capital letters when a sentence start.  Look, a wiki format is not some sort of IM chat, this is actual articles.  This means I have to edit all of your contributions to match the standard format, create wiki links and what not.  You can learn a lot from [[wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|this article]]. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 16:24, 9 October 2007 (PDT)

[[Help:Templates|Templates]] are pretty cool, they take a bit of the effort out of remembering the standard formatting styles. For Bret's article, you could have hit edit, pasted in
 
<nowiki>{{subst:CrewArticleTemplate}}</nowiki>
 
(with the bracketing) saved and hit edit again and you'd have a good starting format. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:00, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
