Create a free account
Hello, thank you for editing StrategyWiki! We'd love to see you become a part of our growing community by signing up. It's very quick, doesn't require an e-mail address, and when editing, you'll be identified by the user name you choose instead of your IP address. Hope to see you soon! —  Pro cyon  20:42, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Stop making a mess

 * 1) Please register an account already so it's easier to talk with you.  There's no reason to have made so many edits anonymously.
 * 2) Stop what you're doing because there's much better, less confusing ways of doing what you're trying to accomplish.  See The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Hyrule Castle as an example of how we handle multiple controller input pages.  Pro  cyon  16:01, 30 March 2014 (UTC)


 * okay


 * Thank you for switching over to the controller selection template. It will make the improvements that you are making much easier for people to read.  You're welcome to continue to edit anonymously, but a) you deserve some kind of credit for all the work that you're doing and b) it just makes it easier for other people to collaborate with you if they can call you by some name rather than just an IP address.  You're not even required to provide an email address if you don't want to give one when you register.  We don't email our users anyway.   Pro  cyon  19:35, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I like to be anonymously


 * Me, too, for the most part. You will actually be more anonymous with a name, since people can look up your ISP and geo-location with your IP information. Once you create a user account, which could be like "ASJFHS" if you don't care about the name part, just don't add anything to your user page. The biggest benefit to yourself is that you can start a "Watch" list, by clicking watch on any page that you edit. Then, there is a "watchlist" page that you can go to where your watched pages will pop up if someone has edited them. -- 17:32, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Well call me random


 * The problem with that is that User talk:random doesn't go anywhere. This is the only way we can talk to you, and it's unlikely that you're going to have this specific IP address forever.  I won't try to persuade you anymore.  However, as an admin on the site who is always trying to understand how we can better serve our users, if you wouldn't mind explaining to me why you prefer to remain anonymous, I would appreciate it.  If it's something that we're doing wrong, I'd like to try and fix it. Thanks.   Pro  cyon  23:51, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Control selector order
I see some variation in the order you selected for control selector (e.g. PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox). I think we should use that as the correct order as that is the order on the main page's infobox related to release dates (PS2, Windows, Xbox). Make sure you use the same order on different pages. I think I saw "PS2, 360, PC" on one of them. I will help to correct that. Thank you for your contributions. -- 01:02, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't want the things that with account and stuff so i can do it freely at my on leisure

Image: is deprecated
Use File: instead (don't worry about the ones you already put in, I will change those). It saves 1 byte per usage. Thanks for putting all the icons in! -- 20:02, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ^Please read this! -- 20:15, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Bump2. -- 16:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

What is your point? I just copy paste the image code.
 * My point is use File:, not Image:. It saves space. -- 02:05, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Controller icons on control tables
Hi "random", two things to point out: Thanks very much.  Pro cyon  17:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Adding controller icons to walkthrough content is fine, but please do not add them to the Controls sections of pages, as they make them very hard to read.  The idea is for the player to quickly look to the left, find the control that they are interested in learning about, and then reading about it.  When you put control icons all over the place, it becomes very hard for the reader to identify what they were looking for, and find the information quickly.  I have reverted most of the edits you made that are like this.
 * 2) It is much more preferable if you edit the entire page at once, making all of your changes, than to edit each page one section at a time, piling up lots of small edits.  Please try to consolidate your edits as you go through each page so that you edit them the minimal number of times.

Stop adding images
This is why having an account would be preferable. I've reverted all of your edits to both Legend of Zelda guides. Marking up a guide with images is good to a point, but you're not really helping that much by doing what you're doing, without any thought to the quality of the outcome. Between this and your insistence not to register, you're making it very difficult for us to consider you a welcome contributor. Perhaps you should focus on adding new content to existing guides, or even starting a new guide, as opposed to just marking up existing guides. That would be much more helpful.

 * 1) The images were only added to the Link to the Past guide when they were found.  They should not be added each and every time an item is mentioned.
 * 2) The images in the original Legend of Zelda guide are much too big to be inserted with the rest of the text.  I can't believed you thought that would be acceptable.  The images sizes can be shrunk down to something more reasonable. If you bothered to look up how to do it, the additions would not have been so egregious.
 * 3) There's no point in bold-facing every occurrence of the word "key" or "bomb", those are not particularly special treasures.  Other items, maybe, but not basic items.
 * Also, stop editing one piece of the page at a time! Edit the whole page, use "Show Preview" to check your work, and then save the page once when it is complete!   Pro  cyon  19:50, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
