Table of contents
Hi Norby! Please take a look at this diff to understand why I adjusted the changes you made to the C&C3:TW table of contents. The typical format for every link in the ToC is [[Game name/Page name|Page name]]. Thanks very much and keep up the great work! Procyon 22:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Once again you're not making the links correctly. If you really don't understand how these guides are laid out, just copy/paste a link from elsewhere on the table and change the page name to what you want (i.e. [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3/Glossary|Glossary]] → [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3/Allied Structures|Allied Structures]]). Look at the changes I made here to see what we're talking about. - najzere 19:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know why we have to go around and around on this. You can't just put plaintext into the Table of Contents. Also, if those were going to be pages of each character's combos as your edit summary indicated, they should probably all go on one "Combos" page. If you want to add a link to a Table of Contents it's easy, just do it like this:
* [[name of the game/name of the page|name of the page]].- name of the game is the name of the game (i.e. "Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels")
- name of the page is the name of the page you're creating (i.e. "Combos")
- So all together it would look like this:
* [[Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels/Combos|Combos]]. Please, please try to understand this simple method of linking to a page, thanks. - najzere 21:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)- Norby, you've got to start asking yourself, every time before you hit the "Save page" button: "Did I do this correctly? Will everything I did look the way I intended it to look. Will it match the look of the page that I inserted it on to." It's not enough to just put words down. If you don't make any effort to make your work consistent with everyone else's, it makes you look very bad. Take more pride in your work, and don't be in such a rush. The site isn't going anywhere, and people will appreciate you more if you take the time to make sure that what you're doing is correct. I don't think you are doing that right now.

Categories
Don't put category tags on guide pages. They only go on the main page of the guide. Thanks, - najzere 20:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Use the wiki properly
It's clearly a waste of time trying to give you tips on how to use this wiki since you don't appear to read your talk page and you certainly don't learn from all cleaning up after you people have to do. But here goes anyway.
- Use the "Guide page" button above the edit text box to insert the {{Header Nav}} and {{Footer Nav}} into pages.
- Use another set of "=" in headings that are subheadings (i.e. ==Level 2 heading==, ===Level 3 heading===, etc.)
- Use proper formatting of heading titles. This means the first letter in the heading and proper names are capitalized and nothing else.
- Use the "Show preview" button below the edit text box and right next to the "Save page" button to preview your work instead of making a bunch of edits to one page.
- Most important: read through the links provided to you in your welcome message. Learn how to use this wiki.
Thanks, - najzere 00:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, I was just wondering why you bother editing the C&C pages. You spend time on them like you care about them, but then your edits look like this, so I have to wonder. Mainly I'm just talking to myself, since you don't read or respond to your talk page, so I won't bother with more advice on how to edit properly. To me it seems like you would put some effort into not making the guide look like crap if you want to keep adding content to it, but maybe I'm the crazy one. - najzere 23:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I thought I'd waste some more of my valuable time trying to get you to adopt good editing habits. So this time, I want to tell you to capitalize the beginnings of sentences and headings. The only appeal I can make to you is that you are making the guide look bad. You clearly like the game and are willing to expend some effort on the guide, so why do you want to make it look like crap at the same time that you're adding to it? All right, that's all for today. I'll be back after your next miserable edit! - najzere 22:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
