Template:Alicesoftwiki and Sengoku Rance

Hello, Template:Alicesoftwiki has been marked for deletion. These types of templates are reserved for our partners, with whom we have a reciprocal relationship. It is against our external links policy to send users offsite for information which should be hosted here. The same can be said for the entire way in which Sengoku Rance had previously been set up. I admire your goal of bringing info from the Alice Soft Wiki here, which you stated on your user page. I think that's a great idea, and because they have a compatible license (CC-BY-SA), we can use whatever they have as long as we properly attribute them. Let me know if you have any questions or would like any help importing their guide. :) — najzereT 21:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it notifies you of what I respond with on my Talk page, but what exactly is the rules on importing? Is there a template I should use that properly credits other wiki's? And I completely stole your sig. Sorry. [= JepjrTalk 22:43, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
When importing information from other sources (that are compatibly licensed) you just need to add your attribution to the edit summary, which usually consists of a URL of the source document and the author's name. You can see something like that on this history page. Hope that helps! — najzereT 23:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Preload buttons

The preload 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 preload buttons located above the edit text box, which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — najzereT 23:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Image uploads

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! — najzereT 23:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, it is not necessary to have a cover from every system a game comes on – we're more interested in the artwork itself rather than the interchangeable logos on top of the art. — najzereT 23:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
It was also the main image for the game, which totally went over my head, but dually noted. --- JepjrTalk 00:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Editing

It would probably help if you read through the user guide (it was linked in your welcome message), which will inform you of a lot of these little things we're running into (new pages, images, external links, standard links on the Table of Contents page, etc.). It take a little experience to get the hang of all the formatting and templates and whatnot, but hang in there – we appreciate your edits! — najzereT 23:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the poor editing. I'm starting to get the hang of it. --- JepjrTalk 00:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
