Template:All Game Nav If you're signed in, at the top of the page you'll notice the preferences link; within it are options to modify StrategyWiki to look and display the way you want it to. Below are the various sections found within preferences, with more information on each.

User profile

In the user profile section, various settings related to your personal information on StrategyWiki can be changed.

  • Username: Your username. It cannot be changed, but the name used in your signature and edits can be changed by means of the Nickname setting.
  • User ID: Your reserved user ID in the database, used for internal purposes. It cannot be changed.
  • Real name: Your real name. It's used as an extra piece of information about yourself.
  • E-mail: Your e-mail address. The e-mail address you set on StrategyWiki will be used to send password reminders, talk notifications, and watch list notifications.
  • Nickname: The alias people see your edits and signatures under.
  • Raw signatures: If ticked, any wiki markup or HTML in the nickname setting will be used in your signature.
  • Change password: Allows you to change your password. Enter your old password in the first field, then your new password in the next two fields.
  • E-mail
    • E-mail me on page changes: If ticked, StrategyWiki will send e-mail notifications when changes to a watched page is made.
    • E-mail me when my user talk page is changed: If ticked, StrategyWiki will send e-mail notifications every time your talk page changes.
    • E-mail me also for minor edits of pages: If ticked, StrategyWiki will send an e-mail notification upon any change (including modifications marked as minor edits) to a watched page.
    • Enable e-mail from other users: Allow users to send e-mail to you through StrategyWiki. Your e-mail address will not be revealed to the sender, but of course replying to them via e-mail will reveal your address to them.

Skins

Skins are sets of images and layouts that you can use on the website rather than the standard "Blue Cloud". Choosing a different skin will change the appearance of StrategyWiki for you, but it won't make any difference to the content of the guides. Blue Cloud is the default and preferred skin, and it will give the best experience when using StrategyWiki, as many of the site's templates cater specifically to it, and not to other skins.

Files

  • Limit images on image description pages to: - The image description page is what you see when you click on an image, it is a page in the Image namespace. With this you can limit the size of the image on that page. Clicking the image on it's Image: page will show a full size version of the image. 800x600px is the default option.
  • Thumbnail size Simply how large you would like thumbnail images to be while viewing an article, 180px is the default.
