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 preload buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add {{t|Header Nav}} to the top and {{t|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.

I moved [[Donkey Kong Country/Barrel Types]] to [[Donkey Kong Country/Getting Started]]. The barrel types page would be much too short and the getting started page should encompass all of the basics of the game, so it can all be combined in one place. When making a new page, make sure to use the "Guide page" preload button to fill in the header and footer nav (I see you missed the footer nav; I will put it in for you). Also, make sure to add a link to the Table of Contents for the guide, otherwise the page will be orphaned and no one will be able to find it. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 17:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC) | |||

Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello The Retro Gamer! 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

Notes about music
Try to keep the notes about the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack to just bullet points. It is a detail that is not explicitly defined in StrategyWiki's scope (what we can or can't have here), but since it is extra information (not necessary for the guide), please keep it as minimal as possible. It may be a better idea to just make a "Sounds" or "Soundtrack" page to explain where all of the music is played and re-used. Since that appears to be your interest, I would consider it akin to credits pages, which are also extra, but acceptable if minimal. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:20, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
Break up walkthrough text into sections
Please try to find a way to break up the text for this diff. We do not want giant, hard to read blocks of text. Use sub-headers, like ===Checkpoint=== for large separations. A simple double space will help to separate the content into paragraph-sized chunks. Thanks! --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:23, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- We really appreciate your work. Thank you! --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 17:19, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Donkey Kong Country/Getting Started
I moved Donkey Kong Country/Barrel Types to Donkey Kong Country/Getting Started. The barrel types page would be much too short and the getting started page should encompass all of the basics of the game, so it can all be combined in one place. When making a new page, make sure to use the "Guide page" preload button to fill in the header and footer nav (I see you missed the footer nav; I will put it in for you). Also, make sure to add a link to the Table of Contents for the guide, otherwise the page will be orphaned and no one will be able to find it. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 17:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
