			== Uploading images ==

			Please categorize images when you upload them. For instance, you upload an image of a Porsche 911 or anything related, for that matter with Porsche, on the "Summary" box located in the upload page itself, type <nowiki>[[Category:Porsche images]]</nowiki> and so on. In your case, the images for your La Macchina page should be categorized <nowiki>[[Category:La Macchina images]]</nowiki>. I know it is an annoying extra step but it is necessary to keep wikicars organized. Thanks

			That said, I don't know whether to laugh or be in awe about this whole project (unless it's a really elaborate hoax, then i'll just be annoyed).

			So far as creating a page about it. Sure. Go right ahead.

New page

== Welcome to Wikicars! ==
Hi there, '''Ardeshirmehta''', and welcome to '''[[Main Page|Wikicars]]'''! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, ask me on [[User Talk:Red_marquis|my talk page]].

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community!

p.s. If you wish to create a new page for a model of car or a car company, please type either of these down '''<nowiki>{{subst:model}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{subst:make}}</nowiki>'''. There are also various templates for different types of vehicles, such as '''<nowiki>{{subst:Concept Model}}</nowiki>''' for concept cars; '''<nowiki>{{subst:Racing Model}}</nowiki>''' for general racing vehicles and '''<nowiki>{{subst:Formula One Car}}</nowiki>''' for Formula One vehicles. Note that these codes are all case sensitive. I would advice you to first check out a number of our featured pages to get a feel and idea of the overall product we aim for. This is necessary for the sake of professionalism.

'''Also, please categorize images when you upload them. For instance, you upload an image of a Porsche 911 or anything related, for that matter with Porsche, on the "Summary" box located in the upload page itself, type <nowiki>[[Category:Porsche images]]</nowiki> and so on. All images must be categorized according to their respective marques.'''

If you have any further questions, simply contact me or any other one of the admins.
