If you have a question about the content on this wiki, you can check out our staff lounge page. If you want to ask questions or hang out in IRC, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the community portal talk page. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking Wikisigbutton.png or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field as this helps to document all of your hard work.

General guidelines about etiquette:
  1. Be Bold with your edits, anything can be undone
  2. If you make a change, and someone undoes it, if you redo the change, make sure you start some kind of discussion about the reasoning
  3. The /* */ in the Summary field is to name the section (not a comments field like in programming). If that isn't already there, don't add it, just put your comments there normally.
  4. Anytime you need help, leave a message on the StrategyWiki:Staff lounge and someone will try to help you out.
  5. If you see something about the site in general that you think would improve if it was changed, leave a message on the {{StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal]].
  6. Finally, add all the pages you edit to your watchlist ("Watch this page" check box, and the button at the top right of your screen). That way you can see what other people change about pages you've worked on, allowing you to see what you can improve about your own skills.

Deleting Staff Lounge

Hi Zaiqukaj. Please do not delete anything from the Staff lounge page. Even though the matter may be resolved for you, personally (and I hope that you were able to find the guide and that it helps you), there is still an ongoing discussion among the staff regarding the matter, and we archive all discussions. The goal of this is to potentially help someone else who might come along with your exact same problem. Perhaps they will find your topic and learn how to solve their problem as a result of our discussion of yours. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have fun!

Thank you so much for fixing my mistake. It was actually an accident. When I had finally figured out how to add my reply and saved it (by replying to my previous post and editing it to include my new reply)I saw something odd once it was saved. When I refreshed the Staff lounge again to see if it worked I saw something very diffirent. It looked like I had pasted the post into the post of another. The title Help with formatting had table of contents.
For some mysterious reason the content of the post was within the Image redirects post tacked onto the end. I honestly thought I had accidentally copyed and pasted the new version in the wrong area so I swooped in and took it out thinking the post I had uploaded was pushed onto a diffirent page or something. Once I had discovered the post was nowhere to be seen I was completely puzzled and unsure how to proceed.
I'm really relieved you were able to undo what had happened to this. As of now I still have no idea how to delete anything, only how to edit pre-existing things or make new ones. I am not too sure if post is the right word for the part of the page I am speaking of. What is the proper term for the sections that can be individually edited?Zaiqukaj 07:40, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
To undo things, click history, click the compare button and click the undo button next to the current revision, date and edit button, try it out on my second edit.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 10:34, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
They can be called whatever you want. They are officially called headings, but sections is the more commonly used term. A post is one individual's reply to something. Also, sysops are pretty good at undoing things (we have a rollback feature that reverts every edit by one user on a page), so don't worry about messing things up too badly. It might help if you use "Show Preview" (Note: Show Preview only shows the preview of the section you are editing-if you want it to show the entire page, you have to click on the edit tab on the top). Also, the sandbox is a good place to experiment (don't worry about messing up in the sandbox, that's what it is there for). As for actually deleting things, again only sysops have that ability (click here to see what I mean). --SkizzerzTalk - Contribs 11:20, 12 June 2007 (CDT)

Digimon World 2

Nice work with the Digimon World 2 guide so far. A few recommendations (don't have to follow all of them):

  1. Please add any pages you create for the guide to the Digimon World 2/Table of Contents (well, you have to follow this one)
  2. Rather than repeating the information about the items, just have a list of what items are available, with links to a /Items page (refer to this page for some linking hints.
  3. Rather than naming them Mission 1, Mission 2, etc. name them after whatever the level is actually called (ignore this if they're actually just numbered...)
  4. Finally, check out the {{Footer Nav}}s. They help tell the user where to go next.

If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page. Happy editing! -- Prod (Talk) 19:31, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for the tips. It looks like the formatting is going to keep on changing untill I have more data up. I hope that will be ok. I'm changing all of the pages to WIP so everyone knows I am giving everything a makeover and will be constantly adding data a little bit at a time. Everything will begin to fall into place after some of the basic data pages are made. --Zaiqukaj 07:11, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
I couldn't help but see that you were wondering about how to make a new subpage for a particular game. The best thing to do is first, go to the Table of Contents of the game (found in the All Game Nav), and under the walkthrough, add a few dead links. Take, for example, Digimon World 2. If you want to make a new page for the walkthrough for a place called Marhsmallow land, what you do is type in:

Marshmallow Land into the ToC, then press 'Save Page'. What should appear is: Marshmallow Land When you're ready to edit, just click upon the red link, start typing whatever it is you want into it, press save, and voila! New page! A good example of how a ToC should look (as in, aesthetically pleasing, uses correct naming conventions, et al), is the Ocarina of Time ToC. If you want to see the wiki syntax used, just press 'edit' and see for yourself! Also check at Strategywiki: Guide, the stuff in there is really useful.

Hope this helps and happy editing!--Froglet 07:19, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Hey, sorry about the late reply (I just woke up :P). I think you've already figured out the subpaging thing, but I'll go over it anywayz. To start off, visit the Table of Contents for the game you want to add subpages to (there should be a link on the main page). If it doesn't exist, there's a preload button at the top for ToC pages. Just copy the format they use to add links to make your won. Save the page and then click on your newly created red-link (or purple...). There is a gain a preload button for the guide pages which will add a Header and Footer Nav to the page. If the page is just a appendix or something, you can remove the footer nav (or keep it, up to you). Further info about how to arrange the guides can be found here. Happy Editing! :) -- Prod (Talk) 09:13, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
Please add all subpages you create to the ToC for organization. Also, use the preload templates for guide pages so that it fills the {{Footer Nav}} properly. -- Prod (Talk) 19:23, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
I just this very moment noticed how to preload templates. I will be sure to use those now. I had no idea how to get those footers to work so this is a relief. What is ToC? Hopefully I'm getting closer to understanding how things work around here. --Zaiqukaj 03:51, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
ToC stands for Table of Contents, the page in a guide that links to all of the other pages. It is always found as the /Table of Contents sub-page (Digimon World 2/Table of Contents). Whenever you create a new page, add a link to it in the ToC. Of course, when adding sequential walktrough pages, make sure they are in order in the ToC :) --Skizzerz Scissors.pngSafety Skizzerz Talk · Contribs · Spel Chek™ · VFG · RTFM 08:55, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

creating Subpages

The easiest way to do this is one of two ways:

  1. . You can create a link in an existing page that leads to the one you want to create. It should look something like this: MapleStory/Towns. The game's name, followed by the subpage's name. It will appear in red (just like on Wikipedia), and if you click on it it'll take you to a page where you can create it. You can check out an example of the red link method here: Sonic CD/Table of Contents
  2. . Type it directly into your address bar. This is also pretty easy, just go to the main page of the article, like MapleStory. at the end of the URL, do a / and type the subpage on the end. the link will be like this:

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory

then, add on to the end the name of the subpage (in this case, /Towns):

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Towns

Hope that helps --IsaacGS 13:31, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Hello and Thanks

Hello, and welcome to Strategy Wiki, Zaiqukaj! I'll go ahead and look over what you did. Thanks for telling me about it, as I would love some help with the project. And as for etiquette (is that how you spell it?:)), the only thing you really need to know is that you should use a NPOV; that is, don't say "I" or "me" in a guide. This is because the guides can be editted by everyone, and should feel neutral so anyone can jump right in. Thank you once again, and I look forward to working on the guide with you!

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon contribs

Hello again, Zaiqukaj! I looked over your contributions to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Items,a dn they were great! The only minor thing I can recommend is maybe putting numbers for the Tms as well. That aside, you're doing a great job! Thanks again, Myth 12:45, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

hmmm I would of included the numbers since I always find details like that useful. I just checked and TMs in dungeon don't have numbers. They are in alphabetical order.
Since I have been wanting to get a copy of the red version of this game too I may be able to begin taking notes for adding to the walkthrough section. This game is a pretty entertaining time waster for the bus. It plays a lot like Chocobo Dungeon --Zaiqukaj 04:52, 24 June 2007 (CDT)
