I know the basic stuff, with the {{'s and the [['s, but I want to learn the more advanced stuff, as it looks pretty cool, like how some people have userpages that make me want to kill myself in shame of my lameness. Anyone want to help? Sorry that I don't have Skype, but I do have a yahoo mail.

I suggest taking a look at ZeldaWiki's help pages, They are very detailed.

I don't know if this helps, but I would guess the next things to look at would be tables and templates (just how substitution works, then maybe parser functions).  Then learn some HTML (try htmldog.com) and find out what HTML tags work on MediaWiki (and learn CSS there too - inline styles work).

As might be expected given my involvement in them, I recommend Help:Editing and Help:Tables ('Classes' section depends on the wiki's setup) at Pikipedia.

Thank you, I'll take a look!

Best way is to experiment. Copy and paste bits of code, remove bits, add bits, until it works. That's how I learned wiki code. Now I am very good with it and can make complex tables.
