Edit

An edit was made to the walkthrough.

Revert
To reverse or remove an edit made to a page at a specific time through MediaWiki's built in reversion features.

A vandal had left pornography on the StrategyWiki terminology page, so his edit was reverted.

Move
To relocate a page from one URL to another. Remember, pages are case-sensitive, meaning the only way to change them would be to move them.

Starfox Adventures was moved to Star Fox Adventures.

Redirect
A page soley created for the purpose of redirecting users to another page, usually created to be tolerant of typos, misnomers, abbreviations and antonyms, and local names.

Mph redirects to Metroid Prime: Hunters.

Protect
To stop a page from being edited by a certain group of users. Only administrators and sysops can protect pages.

All pages are protected from unregistered users, as they do not have the privilege to edit until they register.

Delete
To remove a page entirely from StrategyWiki. Deleted pages can be recovered by the means of page histories.

Mario Adventure 2 was deleted because it was an ad for a non-existent ROM hack.
