thanks for edits; question re formatting functions

thanks for your edits to my user page! looks totally fine. just one question, could you please give me a quick summary of the actual formatting features that you used? It does look better, I'm just curious as to what you did, and what features, formatting functions, etc that you used. Please ping me when you reply. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 00:47, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sm8900: I just used a table. Each userbox is placed in it's own cell so that they are kept apart. If you add class = "wikitable" to the opening line, this effect can be seen more clearly.
style = "margin : 1em auto" This centers the whole table.
align = "center" This actually doesn't do anything for your table. —guywan (talk • contribs) 14:31, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
that is very helpful. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 13:00, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good/ungood for list formats

No, this was an ungood change and should be reverted. The easy rule of thumb to remember is to copy-paste the line that you are replying to and then add a bullet/colon/pound sign for your own comment. Review WP:LISTGAP and associated items. --Izno (talk) 18:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia South Africa Engagement

Good Day Fellow Wikimedian

I write to invite you to a Wikimedia ZA birthday celebration which will take place on 22 February 2025 at the Goethe Institut in Parktown, Johannesburg and Code Bridge in Cape Town as well as online if you will not be able to join in person.

Wikimedia South Africa is a chapter founded on 25 February 2012 after being approved as a chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation on 26 March 2011. Our chapter seeks to promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages and support the creation of local free knowledge and media

We are always looking to support South Africans or Africans in the promotion of free knowledge and to promote the enhancement of local knowledge in local languages on wikipedia and online for the benefit of all.

As a chapter engagement is an important strategic initiative and we would encourage you to check out the chapter on the links below. Links:

Meta Page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1FtVdvzjnr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Instagram: @wikimedia_za

Website: https://www.wmza.org/

Each month the Chapter hosts In-Person Meetups in Cape Town and Johannesburg where fellow Wikimedians and newcomers meet to enjoy refreshments and snacks and to discuss Wikipedia, Wikimedia South Africa initiatives and to isolate community needs.

In February our next Chapter Meetups will occur in person in Johannesburg at the Goethe Institut:

and in Cape Town at the Codebridge offices:

The Meetup will occur on Saturday the 22nd February 2025 between 10:30am and 12:30pm.

This meetup will be special as we will be celebrating the 13th Anniversary of Wikimedia South Africa and the 24th Anniversary of Wikipedia. There will be refreshments and entertainment.

We will be reflecting on our past year as well as our plans for the Chapter in 2025 and would love for you to participate. If you are able to attend in person please RSVP so we can appropriately plan by completing the form by 12th February 2025:
