Guide layout
Please read this page on guide layout. Take special note of the policy on headings. I've reverted your recent edits to the C&C Stalingrad page, so please don't use all-caps for headers, or anywhere else for that matter. Thanks, - naj zere 16:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Just FYI, it's better form to not have point of view. Unlike GameFAQs, it's not a good idea to reference yourself in your material. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:12, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, when creating a new page please use the "Guide page" button above the edit box to insert Header Nav and Footer Nav templates into the page. Make sure you put the proper Header and Footer Nav templates into Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3/Getting Started and take out parts that say "I" or "we". For your convenience, there are links to each Nav template at the bottom of the edit box, which will automatically put them in for you. Make sure the Header Nav goes at the top before any writing, and the Footer Nav goes at the bottom after all writing. Thanks. - naj zere 18:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for cleaning up the RA3 guide. Things could have been better, since our last editor left things in shambles. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, all. Not sure if this is where I should respond. I have only just found this area, so I apologize if I continued to do some of the things you suggested against in my recent edits. --Archknave 19:29, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Either our talk page or here works, but ensure to sign your messages with --~, or the [[Image:Wikisigbutton.png]] button at the top. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Haha, remove the nowiki tags, dude, and it'll come out better! =P --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Try clicking on the signature button at the top once you're done writing. It should come out as --~, but without the nowiki tags (they're there to prevent it from turning into a real signature). So once you're done typing a comment, either hit that signature button or type two dashes followed by four tildes. The result should be similar to what mine looks like. (Note: It'll appear in the edit box as two dashes and four tildes, but when you hit "Save Page" it'll convert into a signature) --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but how do you do the link for the (talk) item? --Archknave 19:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You gotta add it into your signature. Try going to Preferences at the top, then edit your signature appropriately. If you want a simple signature like mine, just copy-paste this in (minus the nowiki tags): User:Archknave (talk) --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, testing it out. --&#91;&#91;User:Archknave&#93;&#93; (&#91;&#91;User talk:Archknave&#124;talk&#93;&#93;) 19:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

lol. Trying with the raw checkbox checked. --User:Archknave (talk) 19:38, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * There ya go! Now just add a pipe after User:Archknave and just type Archknave. For wikis, the link syntax is: alternate text . So write in Archknave to get what I think you want. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 19:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Trying again. --&#91;&#91;User:Archknave&#124;Archknave&#93;&#93; (&#91;&#91;User talk:Archknave&#124;talk&#93;&#93;) 19:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Once more, with checkbox. --Archknave (talk) 19:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That what you need? By the way, use colons to indent. It makes things easier to read. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 19:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

No, it's not translating the code. Not sure what the deal is, I'll come back to it later. Any further advice is welcome.


 * It's shown up the way it should on my computer. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 19:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, do you want to come onto the chat right now? Both Arrow and I are there and we can help you with whatever you need help with. Just click here or on the "Chat" link in the sidebar to get there. -- 19:52, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
