Patrolling edits
Hi Poppy! I will definitely get around to your edits soon. I have about five days worth of edits to look at. We call this process "patrolling" (it is a function of MediaWiki), which is reserved for admins. Are you familiar with wikis? -- 18:26, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Since you asked so nicely, I am taking a look now. If I add additional sections to this talk page, it is to reduce the time I spend talking about different subjects. I.e. preload buttons are used to make new page setups fast and simple so I don't have to add the necessary templates we require for different page types. Oh - I removed the "Cold Water" header from the page because the title of the page is cold water. If you can come up with a sub-section, like a save point, boss fight, or significant area that would make sense - those are great places for headers. -- 18:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I could never get far in Ecco - the first level baffles me. I have access to it via the Genesis collection on Xbox 360, which is an emulated version of the original. I see that the 3DS has different graphics. I wonder if there are other differences. If you can, note all of the menus and options on the start page, and controls on the controls page. Thanks for your help! -- 18:43, 2 January 2014 (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! — 18:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
