Your edit to Shortcut

Hi there. I'm not sure what you were trying to do at the article Shortcut, it looks like you replaced the disambiguation page with a copy of Wikipedia:Shortcut, which is a project page, not an article. Please be careful and don't copy/paste material from one page to another. —Darkwind (talk) 17:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I Need to know how to get sandbox

I have the latest vesion of mediawiki and I dont understand how to get sandbox so the links will complete themselves. I am so lost I love this website its a giant puzzle but need a little guiding.

Sorry, we provide help only with Wikipedia-related issues, not for your private wiki. You may want to have a look at Help:Templates, though. I can't tell what else you're asking about, but I don't think you're looking for a sandbox. Huon (talk) 17:57, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am n search of the Template:Ns:Module please how do i find it or what?

There is no such template. I believe what you're looking for is the Module namespace which houses Lua modules. Apparently your wiki's namespaces are not the same as Wikipedia's; for example, your art portal's talk page is at Talk:Portal:Arts while Wikipedia's is at Portal talk:Arts - for Wikipedia, "Portal:" is a separate namespace, for you it's just part of a page name in the main namespace. I cannot help you with setting up namespaces; you may want to have a look at the MediaWiki wiki and check whether you can find help there.

Also, we really are not here to help with general MediaWiki issues; I'll not reply to further such queries unrelated to Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 19:27, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
