Welcome to StrategyWiki![edit]

Hello Dreinhold5! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions. If you have any questions, just contact a sysop through their talk page or post on the staff lounge, and they'd be happy to help. If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide or visit the Discord server to chat. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the staff lounge as well. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Please don't use "Note" when trying to add content. Please incorporate it into the paragraphs. -- Prod (talk) 21:37, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

StrategyWiki conventions[edit]

When you create a new page for a walkthrough you should make it a subpage of the game page the walkthrough is for, as detailed here: StrategyWiki:Guide/Main_game_page#Multi-page. You can make this easier by adding a page to the Table of Contents for the guide and using doing something like the following [[../PageTitle]] then preview the change, which will create a link that is already a subpage so you just have to click the new red link to create the page properly. You can also just copy the first part of the links also on the ToC page if they have them. I also recommend using the StrategyWiki Guide pages as the welcome message urges you to do. This will help you understand how wiki's work, and the way that StrategyWiki prefers things to be done specifically.

As for your newest Ocarina of Time page, I'm going to move it to be a subpage for the guide, but as the content of such a specific page will never be very substantial I'm going to also rename it to Grottos and any information about the various grottos in the game can go there. -- flagrama (talk) 22:48, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Adding to the bottom of the page[edit]

Please stop adding content below a pages Footer Nav. All of a page's content should sit between the Header Nav and the Footer Nav. Thank you. Procyon 18:45, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit quality[edit]

I've been noting that you don't appear to put much effort into your edits. Your writing is very low quality, often lacking punctuation and proper use of pronouns. That is bad enough, but our Ocarina of Time guide is one of the better guides that we have here, so your contributions stick out even more so, as they don't match the quality of the text around them. When you add content to a guide, please try to write as professionally as you are capable. Don't shortcut what you are trying to say, write neatly and precisely. And use punctuation to make breaks in your thoughts more clear. Procyon 05:03, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

From now on, I'm simply going to roll back any edits that don't conform to our quality standards. Writing things like "of" instead of "off", failing to close templates with "}}", and leaving out definite or indefinite articles like "the" or "a" will result in your work being removed.
