-Help Me template replaced after answer-
Cf:
This is an excellent example of how difficult it is for beginners to use Wikipedia's help pages. I eventually figured out (because I misused "helpme" in asking a Reference Desk question) about the use of nowicki /nowicki. But I was still left to infer that double brace helpme double brace is, in fact, a template.
I am certain that I am being staggeringly stupid about all of this -- but I suspect I am not the only person who has found it very discouraging, on first sticking a toe into Wikipedia editorial waters, to encounter so much unexplained Wikijargon. Terry Belanger 03:56, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Next question: I drafted an article on Kenneth Karmiole in my userspace, but I was unable to figure out how to move it to mainspace; the MOVE help pages (at least the ones that I was able to find) deal with moving already existing mainspace material from one place to another in mainspace territory; on some of the help pages there was reference to MOVE at the top of the page, and to various skins; but I have no skins in my userspace nor can I find instructions on how to create them, and no MOVE button or tab, neither, in my userspace draft area. In despair, I finally simply used cut and paste to move the draft article to mainspace, and this worked -- but the article title came in "Kenneth karmiole" rather than "Kenneth Karmiole," and I cannot figure out how to fix it.
