me again... another question about editing...
Id like to do something with the skill section for big bang in maplestory. If you've visited the skill section of the normal maplestory you'll notice that its broken up into several different pages based on the different jobs, if like to do the same thing to the big bang skill list. The big bang skill page has reached a critical mass of 900 kb... its a fkin big page!

Id like to break it down like the other skill page, and as i said before im new here, and im not really sure how i would do that.

I know i have to add another page and then copy paste the info in the seperate pages but i cnat manage to start that process. I look at the top of the edit page and i have no idea how to edit the links... its a real puzzle to me... if you could give me some info, or a guide page, or simply do it urself, id appreciate it. Thanks for reading, --David11563 19:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * A few other things first: only sign posts at the end of your message. At the end, leave a space, and click the signature button. Don't go to a new line, or put several spaces in order to push the signature to the right of the page, since it clutters the page. Second, page titles must use sentence case except in the case of proper nouns (places, chapter names as they appear in-game, etc). Now, I've never played MapleStory, and I've never read the MapleStory guide much, except when I need to revert vandalism or fix minor errors other users have made. To split via copy-paste, open the page that contains the info, then open the page you want to create in a new tab. Search for it, then click 'Create this page' on the search result screen. Other than that, the best I can do for you is to advise you to ask someone who is more familiar with MapleStory; two particularly well-versed users would be Imjon or Zienth, but make sure to leave the messages on their user talk pages. You may also get information about making edits from the Guide. Sorry I can't be of more help. 20:07, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

before u go editing anything on that maplestory page!
just wanted to let you know, i have the bottom link (the link to previous and next page at the bottom of the screen) set up so that u can access all of the sub section pages

at the moment im making a bunch of other pages (sub sections) that will replace the big bang skills page. So far im done with the resistance... ill get through all of them, then ill need some help with the shortcut at the top of the page, thanks for ur time --David11563 19:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

still editing
well im still editing... this is borring...

So far ive did resistance, legends, cygnus, pirates, thieves, and bowmen, still have to magicians and warriors

once again, they are all accessed through (big bang)>(skills)>then at the bottom of the builds page theres a link to "previous page" that will take u to the resistance.

At the bottom of the resistance previous page button it will take u to legends, and so on.

Please help me out on the link that goes at the top of the page, that was a real pain doing all that. --David11563 20:59, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

finished editing
i'm not sure who separated the big bang skills into the 4 different sections, but if it was you then thank you. I finished dividing up the skills from the original page into the four sections so that first page is now unnecessary. I haven't put up a nav. bar at the top of the page (still don't know how), and the nav bar at the bottom of the page is incorrect (had to put one up to move from page to page easier) so that still needs work... talk to you later --David11563 20:51, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

P.S. - I put the signature right after the writing :)

sorry about that
sorry i wrote that...this is my first time making a page. didn't mean to create any spam.

the truth is, i don't know that much about pokemon black and white. i downloaded the rom and only got as far as what I've wrote. plus the rom is in japanese, so i have to go by what I see. I'm pretty sure what i wrote is accurate though, since that's what I got from watching the scenes. Metsfan189Metsfan189 18:54, 20 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Don't worry too much about it. It's fixed up now. I'll fix anything else I find.  18:59, 20 September 2010 (CDT)

Also, I was just wondering, how do you create a user page? Which template should you use?Metsfan189 19:05, 20 September 2010 (CDT)
 * You don't need to use one on a user page. Userpages are different from guide pages. Just use the templates where they say you should use them. For your user page, just start editing. 19:11, 20 September 2010 (CDT)

lol
Hah, thanks for catching my typo man :) I appreciate it.  Welcome back!  How do you like the site performance so far?  Pro  cyon  10:53, 21 September 2010 (CDT)
 * No problem. Good to be back :) The site certainly seems a lot faster than before, I must say. It's worth the wait. I haven't noticed any bugs other than a couple that have appeared on other sites (such as amp; instead of & appearing in page titles) and Special:TwitterUpdate doesn't seem to work. Apart from that, all is well. 13:00, 21 September 2010 (CDT)

Table Help
Hey I'm working on DBZ: Buu's Fury (Good God) and i was wondering who i would get in touch with to make a somewhat simple table for the items and equipment? I'm not that good at creating tables. Thanks in advance. KimbleTHEcommie 03:53, 25 September 2010 (CDT)
 * It depends on the purpose of the tables. If you want to tabulate the entire list of equipment and items, I wouldn't recommend it, since these pages should also describe the items and their effects. 04:23, 25 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Well I'm trying to incorporate a pic the description(which is short), Stats and required level for it well also the name not too much but the page is extremely long so i was thinking a table would shorten it. KimbleTHEcommie 04:27, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * OK. If you add the stats, description, etc. to one piece of equipment, I'll see what I can do with it. 09:13, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Ok it's up everything except the picture. thanks. KimbleTHEcommie 14:15, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Check the page to see what I've done. A sortable table that includes everything, but eliminates headers. If you want, you can keep the headers, and take the item names out of the table. If not, just continue the table. Your choice. 14:44, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Thank you for all your help. KimbleTHEcommie 16:42, 26 September 2010 (CDT)

first edit
Hi and thanks for the welcome. I guess you can see I've some experience with Wiki editing. Cheers. --Rws9 13:01, 2 October 2010 (CDT)

Welcome back!
It's good to see you :D  Pro  cyon  12:44, 15 October 2010 (CDT)
 * And you :) Anything big happen while I was gone? 14:00, 15 October 2010 (CDT)

NIWA
Hi there. Archaic mentioned this at the NIWA forum, so I thought I'd take the initiative; are you guys planning on adding a NIWA bar to the Main Page, like we have at the other NIWA member wikis? I made a quick mockup (here) based on what's become the "standard" across the other wikis; maybe you could bring it up with the other staff and discuss if that's how you'd like to do it? Adamcox82 05:47, 16 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I've mentioned it on the forums; hopefully someone will reply there, or I can point the staff toward it. 06:52, 16 October 2010 (CDT)

Staff meeting
Hey Moydow. Prod is not online, and I wanted to let someone else know that I can't make the meeting today. I'm attending a volunteer fund raiser, and I'm heading out soon. Please extend my apologies to everyone. Thanks.  Pro cyon  10:15, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
 * That's OK, I'll let them know. Hope to see you there next time. 10:24, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
 * Well, Prod wasn't there either, so there was no meeting today. 15:52, 30 October 2010 (CDT)

"Image:OR Dr. Kubota.gif" has been marked for deletion...
...as I have replaced it with the screenshot "Image:OR Dr. Kubota's Machine.png". I have also requested "Image:OR Kiwi R2.gif", "Image:OR Kiwi Base R2.gif" and "Image:OR Fire Turtle.png" to be renamed to "Image:OR Kiwi R2&7.gif", "Image:OR Kiwi Base R2&7.gif" and "Image:OR Fire Tortoise.png" respectively. You may also have noticed that I have marked Ordyne/Tips for deletion as well, on account of the fact that I had merged its content with the renamed Getting Started page yesterday.

Thank you for the welcome!
Thank you very much for the welcoming you gave. This is not my first Wiki page I have worked on, as I am a Computer/LAN technician for the US Army and I have had to make several from scratch for various training networks I have built. This is however my first time creating a game guide, and the method of editing this particular site seems wonky to me. That is not a complaint about the site, just an acknowledgment that it is new to me.

I do have one question up front for you. I was reading some of the help pages, and also researching on what is normally expected here. One of the things I saw, and cannot seem to figure out how to do, is layouts for Table of contents. The example given on Table of contents under Common Layouts is what I am referring to. I know Fallout: New Vegas is going to require me to modify the current layout to make it more aesthetically pleasing to me (OCD here). What I am primarily questioning, is if you can point me to a couple of guides that demonstrate each of the examples given, so I can look under the hood and see how it ticks.

Thank you again.
