[edit] Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello Vom53! 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. 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 forums. Please remember to sign your name on, and only on, talk pages by clicking
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. Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! -- Prod (Talk) 23:30, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
- The "Show preview" button is great to show what the page will look like so that you don't have to keep re-editing the page to make it the way you want. Most information you need can be found in the guide. However, it's usually easier to look at another guide and work from there. The MapleStory guide is quite extensive and has examples of almost everything in it. If you need clarifications on anything, feel free to ask in the StrategyWiki:Staff lounge. -- Prod (Talk) 23:30, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
- I have restored the deleted content on the page Wind Slayer/First Job. If you do not want to release it under the GFDL, label it with {{delete}} and it will be removed. Otherwise, please feel free to clean it up and expand upon it. -- Prod (Talk) 23:36, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
- The front page of every guide is fairly special and there is some complicated stuff going on there. However, adding more links is easy. Just visit the Wind Slayer/Table of Contents, and click edit. You can add more links there (follow the same format as the other lines) and they will automatically show up on the front page. -- Prod (Talk) 00:47, 26 May 2008 (CDT)
- When adding to (most) talk pages, you can find a small + symbol tab at the top (like on this one). If you click it, just fill in the title and the content and it will place a new topic at the bottom of that page (where new threads should go). Also, at the end of your messages (on talk pages only!), please sign it using the following: "--~~~~" (without quotation marks). Thanks, --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 03:25, 27 May 2008 (CDT)
[edit] Congratulations
You just broke the record for the number of mistakes made by a new user in their first day. Normally, I'm supposed to put a welcome message here, but quite frankly, I'm not inclined to welcome you at the moment. Please do me a favor. Do not make one more edit until you read:
The StrategyWiki Guide
Instead of listing all of the problems with your edits, I'm just going to point out the two biggest problems:
- You may not copyright any of your work on this site. The entire site is covered by the Gnu Free Document License, otherwise known as GFDL. You agreed to this the moment you signed up for an account on this site. All of the work that you submit to this site becomes property of the public domain, provided that anyone who wishes to reproduce any of the work found on this site give proper credit to the original authors of said work.
- Do not start a new page as a Category. Categories are reserved.
Once again, read the StrategyWiki Guide. Thank you. Procyon (Talk) 22:52, 25 May 2008 (CDT)
[edit] Images
Do not hotlink to images, upload them locally with appropriate filenames. See our help page for more information. Also, if at all possible do not use watermarked images. --Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 17:46, 26 May 2008 (CDT)
- I have gone through the guide and cleaned up/deleted lots of pages. If there was information you needed on those pages, it can be retrieved. But I left notes as to why each page was deleted. If you could remove any more of the hotlinked images that are still around (mainly on the 2nd job and NPC pages) that would be great. As mentioned above, you can upload them to StrategyWiki directly. -- Prod (Talk) 23:18, 26 May 2008 (CDT)
[edit] User / User talk pages
User pages are for users to put stuff on. Unless you're the user whose user page you are editing, you shouldn't be editing it (unless there is a good reason to). User talk pages (such as this one, prefixed by User talk:) are for talking to other users. Please stop using user pages to do this and start using user talk pages. Thank you. --Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 18:23, 14 July 2008 (CDT)
