==Correct organization of guides==


== Copyright violation ==
Please invest some time in looking at the [[:Template:Header Nav]] template so you won't need to add a ToC to your walkthrough. In the meantime, take a look at the [[Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] guide to see what the expectations of SW guides are.--[[User:Dan|Dan]] 19:53, 14 February 2007 (CST)
:You can find instances of <nowiki>{{Header Nav}}</nowiki> being used on almost any good page; see the [[Chrono Trigger]] sub pages (or main page) for examples. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] 20:00, 14 February 2007 (CST)

You appear to be posting content on the wiki which has been copied from another source; in this case, [http://uk.faqs.ign.com/articles/739/739132p1.html a FAQ on IGN]. Unless you can prove you have permission to post that content here (i.e. it's been released under the GFDL or into the public domain), it's going to have to be removed. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 16:16, 6 February 2007 (CST)
==Copyright violation==
Do not copy content from other sites without permission, it will be deleted. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 15:14, 18 February 2007 (CST)
:You have been [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chalkhead&diff=prev&oldid=107481 warned before]. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 15:20, 18 February 2007 (CST)


== Correct organization of guides ==

Hi. Is there any reason you just rewrote this page to "make it my own"? Nobody owns a page on a wiki, as they're made from the contributions of many people. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 00:11, 2 March 2007 (CST)
:Maybe he meant, "Made it on my own."  <_< >_>  Maaaaaaybe.  --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] 00:26, 2 March 2007 (CST)
::It was a copyvio, he means he rewrote it. Please continue Chalkhead :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 00:29, 2 March 2007 (CST)
::: In that case I must apologise, and I hope to see more such contributions in future! :-) --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|Talk]]) 00:52, 2 March 2007 (CST)
:::: It's looking good! We may have quite the collection of Zelda guides soon. :) <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">ech</span>]][[User_talk:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">elon</span>]]'''</span> 01:43, 2 March 2007 (CST)
Yeah sorry guys i was violating the copyright law thingy so i just started to rewrite it but following the same concept.. It still follows the same but it just didnt feel right and was wrong to do it the way i was so im rewriting the guide... If anyone wants to put there input or help write you are more than welcome(Of Course) To add onto the guide.
:I've deleted all the copyrighted info, so the guide is clean now.  It would be best if you picked a game and wrote the guide for it from your own experiences.  However, whatever method you use to get your information, as long as you write the content yourself it's OK.  I hope you enjoy writing up the guide :).  If you have any questions, please ask. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 22:53, 2 March 2007 (CST)


Please invest some time in looking at the [[:Template:All Game Nav]] template so you won't need to add a ToC to your walkthrough. In the meantime, take a look at the [[Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] guide to see what the expectations of SW guides are.--[[User:Dan|Dan]] 19:53, 14 February 2007 (CST)
==Image categorisation==
:You can find instances of <nowiki>{{All Game Nav}}</nowiki> being used on almost any good page; see the [[Chrono Trigger]] sub pages (or main page) for examples. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] 20:00, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 
I see you've been uploading a few images lately. When doing so, could you please make sure to categorise them using the correct [[:Category:Images|image categories]]? The image policy is viewable [[StrategyWiki:Images|here]], and contains all the information you'll need to categorise future uploads. --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 20:45, 3 March 2007 (CST)
:Additionally, when naming images, it is common practice to prefix them with the game's name or acronym, then include an underscore and the image's name. For example, the image [[:Image:Darklinkfsa.jpg|Darklinkfsa.jpg]] should be named fsa_Darklink.jpg. This just makes it easier to see what game images are from. Thank you and keep improving SW as you see fit. --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 20:45, 3 March 2007 (CST)
