Hi. Please put an actual edit summary when contributing, not "I changed something" or "I added something". We know you changed something...that's not very helpful. Edit summaries help whoever is interested see how the page has evolved when looking at its history page. Also, if you ever make an edit that isn't immediately understandable, your summary can provide the explanation so you don't get reverted. About this change: our current guideline is to just put what the page is about, as "list" is redundant, and also it may become inaccurate throughout time as more people edit the page.

Image uploads

Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. In the future, your image names should contain the name of the game or its abbreviation and a one or two word description. All images also need to have the appropriate categories added, as well as the guide-specific image category (i.e. [[Category:Wario Land 4 images]]). --najzereT 20:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

This is another warning about correctly categorizing your image uploads. See this diff for an example of how to categorize. With the number of images on the site, it is imperative that they be well organized, so help us out here and follow our image policies. Thanks, - najzereT 00:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Creating pages

When you are creating a new page (whether it's a new guide or subpage), you should use the four buttons above the edit box - this will fill page with the necessary information and templates required for the guide (for example, the navigation templates). There is also a guide that contains instructions on creating the standard presentation and layout as well. --Sigma 7 16:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Table of Contents

Hi, I have some concerns about the ToC for Wario: Master of Disguise. First, the link under Walkthrough doesn't seem like a normal level name. If the level doesn't have a name, then you should use something that someone playing the game will understand. The same rules of keeping out drivel also apply to the ToC. Secondly, please make sure when you put links on the ToC that the information will actually necessitate its own page. For instance, "Guises" seems like something that would fit on one page. Does each Guise have enough information to fill out a whole page on its own? I just want to make sure the ToC is easy to understand and similar to other guides on the site. You should browse around a little and see how level 4 guides layout their ToC, so you can get a feeling for it. Thanks, - najzereT 17:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
