Welcome to StrategyWiki![edit]

Hello James Sunderland! 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 ask a sysop, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Please remember to sign your name when leaving comments on talk pages by clicking Wikisigbutton.png or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! — Procyon 14:18, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Image uploads[edit]

Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. For consistency and ease of use throughout the wiki, image names should contain the name of the game or its abbreviation and a one or two word description. All images also need the appropriate categories added, as well as the guide-specific image category (e.g. [[Category:Game Name images]]). Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! — Procyon 14:18, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Easier editing[edit]

The Show preview button (right next to the Save page button) lets you see how your changes will look before saving the page. You can use Show preview as many times as you like until you get the page how you want it. You can also edit the whole page at one time, as opposed to by section, by clicking the Edit tab at the top of the page. Hopefully these little shortcuts will make it easier for you to get the desired result when you're editing, and save you a little time. Thanks for working on the wiki! — Procyon 03:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Pre-load buttons[edit]

The pre-load buttons.

In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the pre-load buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add {{Header Nav}} to the top and {{Footer Nav}} to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — Procyon 05:43, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Just a reminder, please use these buttons when creating a new page. In the case of The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb, you should have used the Main game page button to set up everything a front page needs. I set the page back up for you. Procyon 18:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Testing[edit]

Your test edit on Candy Crush Saga worked and has been deleted. If you wish to test out the system and wiki markup, please use the sandbox instead. Thanks for understanding! — Procyon 14:49, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Reworking an old guide[edit]

Hi James. You don't really need special permission to reconstruct a guide here. As long as you have some idea about how to improve it, just be bold and go for it. The only exception to that would be featured guides. Also we don't delete questions from the staff lounge, we archive them in case some one else comes along with the same question. Hopefully they'll stumble across the archived question and learn the answer without needing to ask it themselves. Procyon 11:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
