:Not quite like a spreadsheet, but you can do calculations like that. For example in [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] his age is calculated from his birthdate. This is acheived using [[m:ParserFunctions]].--[[User:Commander Keane|Commander Keane]] 05:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
::As far as I know you cannot do stuff like "Column 1 + Column 2 = Column 3". Try the [[WP:HD|Help desk]] for a better explanation.--[[User:Commander Keane|Commander Keane]] 05:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Another user is posting inappropriate messages on my User Page ... and generally harassing me (e.g., continually reverting my edits without good reason, etc.). What is the correct way to handle this on Wikipedia? Thanks! (JosephASpadaro 05:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]
