 * Hi. Please put an actual edit summary when contributing, not "I changed something" or "I added something". We know you changed something...that's not very helpful. Edit summaries help whoever is interested see how the page has evolved when looking at its history page. Also, if you ever make an edit that isn't immediately understandable, your summary can provide the explanation so you don't get reverted. About this change: our current guideline is to just put what the page is about, as "list" is redundant, and also it may become inaccurate throughout time as more people edit the page.

Image uploads
Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. In the future, your image names should contain the name of the game or its abbreviation and a one or two word description. All images also need to have the appropriate categories added, as well as the guide-specific image category (i.e.  ). -- najzere T 20:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This is another warning about correctly categorizing your image uploads. See this diff for an example of how to categorize. With the number of images on the site, it is imperative that they be well organized, so help us out here and follow our image policies. Thanks, - najzere T 00:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Creating pages
When you are creating a new page (whether it's a new guide or subpage), you should use the four buttons above the edit box - this will fill page with the necessary information and templates required for the guide (for example, the navigation templates). There is also a guide that contains instructions on creating the standard presentation and layout as well. --Sigma 7 16:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
