Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! -- 13:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, you might want to take a look at this page to see how tables work. I fixed the one you just made in the AdventureQuest Worlds guide. 13:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've noticed you putting stuff on pages which we call "drivel". This means things like "P.S. I wrote what happened to me when I wore a barber suit", so basically saying stuff about what happened to you, or what you think, and stuff like that. So, please try not to use third-person style writing, and keep up the AQW work! 16:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing
Make sure you keep drivel out of the guide, meaning don't refer to yourself in the first person and don't use your username in the text. Read through some of the featured guides to get a feel for the style of writing to use in the wiki. Thanks, - najzere T 16:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Instead of making a new format for the same information that goes on every page of the guide, create a uniform look by doing it the same way across all pages. The easiest way to do that is to copy/paste the code from other pages and then change the pertinent information. - najzere T 21:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Another reminder to use the same format for these pages as the rest of the guide. I don't like having to come in after every one of your edits and clean them up. Simply copy the code from another page (select it with then either  and select "Copy" or press CtrlC). Then when you go to edit the new page, either  and select "Paste," or press CtrlV. Please don't make me leave another note on your talk page. -  najzere T 22:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Testing
Your test edit on AdventureQuest Worlds/Guru Forest worked and has been deleted. If you wish to test out the system and wiki markup, please use the sandbox instead. -- najzere T 21:39, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want to give someone a message, put it on their talk page, not their user page. 15:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * DrBob (and all the others) are just trying to help keep things clean. If there's something specific he did that you don't like, please let us know and we'll work it out. -- Prod (Talk) 02:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Table of Contents changes
Feel free to modify the table of contents on a page, but if you're deleting pages from the contents, it would be best to use a descriptive edit summary and/or point to a place that consolidates the contents into fewer pages. Thanks -- 05:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Leaving messages
Please do not post messages on user pages. That's why we have talk pages. -- 21:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, if you want to start a new section, it's easier to click on the + at the top of the page than going into the edit section and scrolling all the way down, especially if their talk page is really long. And then in the edit history we can see that you started a new section instead of randomly editing the page. I'm not complaining, but it does make it easier for you to leave someone a message. :) 12:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Guru Forest revert
I'm not sure why you are reverting Guru Forest since all I did was clean it up and introduce the same format for the other pages, but if you do so, I'll have to ask you to then go in and clean it up again. Reverting edits isn't the way to collaborate on a wiki. If you want to change something, you should add to it. Since none of the actual information has changed on the page, all you've done is reimplemented a page with various misspellings, incorrect headings and a format that is at odds with the other pages in the guide. - najzere T 21:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Sig colours
To have a colourful sig, all you need to do is copy the following code into the Signature box under My Preferences:

Wiki man 6 2 5

Which turns out like this:

Wiki man 6 2 5

Ta da! One colourful sig. 18:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * In case you're confused, the second part of the code she listed is not clickable because you're already on the page it links to. -- 00:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you forgot to check the "Raw Signatures" box below the text box. -- 01:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah; forgot to tell you that. Sorry. 08:36, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
