			== The Great Wikicars Migration ==
			Dear user, I am writing this note to inform you that over the course of the next few days Wikicars will be migrating to a new home on [http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Shoutwiki]. Since we have been left for dead by parent site [http://www.internetbrands.com/ Internet Brands], Wikicars will be merging with Shoutwiki [http://en.auto.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Autopedia]. Rest assured we will do everything in our power to preserve all existing articles in our move including talk pages and edit history so your articles of interest will remain intact. All we humbly ask for is your patience and understanding. Thank you.

			If you have further questions, ask me on [[User Talk:Red_marquis\|my talk page]] or [[User talk:Silver Knight\|User:Silver Knight]].

			== Infoboxes ==

			For future reference, here's Wikicar's standardised infobox. Streamlined and, now, stylised. What more could you want?

PNiddy: Welcome to Wikicars!

Welcome to Wikicars!

New page

== Welcome to Wikicars! ==

Hi there, '''Bencar''', 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:PNiddy|my talk page]].

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to the [[Plymouth]] and [[Classic car]] pages! -[[User:PNiddy|Nidhi]] 17:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
