Please do not completely replace other people's work
Sigma 7 worked very hard on that Abadox guide, and I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate you completely replacing everything he wrote with new material, particularly material that is less descriptive than what was there originally. I'm going to revert the content back to his work. You are welcome to add to it, or correct any mistakes, but please do not replace it.  Pro cyon  13:58, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
Guides are open for anyone to edit, and to accomodate multiple authors we've decided to use a neutral point of view, meaning content should be written in the third person, with no opinions and a somewhat professional tone. Please keep this in mind as you're editing, and try to avoid words like "I" or "we", or use of slang or non-factual information. Thanks for helping us keep our guide pages polished! —  Pro cyon  13:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Preload buttons
In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the preload buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add Header Nav to the top and Footer Nav to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — 18:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Image description and categorization
When uploading new images, be sure to give the image a suitable description and categorize the image in accordance with the wiki's policies. Generally, you only need a category on the type of image (screenshots, maps, artwork, etc...) and the guide-specific image category. You can read more about the policy here. As I don't know whether the images are taken from the Gold and Silver versions or from the Crystal version, I can only give the current images the screenshot category, so you'll have to fill in the guide-specific image category by yourself as well as the description.

The plural of "Bomberman" is "Bombermen"
In the case when the guide author is referring to multiple Bomberman characters, it is appropriate to use the term "Bombermen" so I reverted your changes.  Pro cyon  02:40, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
