Welcome to StrategyWiki!

Hello Johnnyauau2000! 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 community portal talk page. 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! -- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talkcontribs). 01:17, 3 February 2008 (CST)

Using Button Images

We've simplified the process by using templates. I think the two you are interested in are {{gc}} and {{ps2}}. If you have any questions that the documentation on those pages can't answer, continue asking questions. Good luck, --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 03:39, 3 February 2008 (CST)

Please don't remove all the uses of the {{Control}} template. It is used along with the controls drop down at the top to only show the controls specific to that version, rather than showing them all at the same time. Can you please convert your changes on the Bully/Wardrobe page to use it again? -- Prod (Talk) 09:51, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
If you want to show controls for both, then just put both, like on Viking: Battle for Asgard/Enemies. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 00:18, 26 April 2008 (CDT)
Please use the {{Control}} templates. Without it the pages look really messy and I will have to revert your changes. If you need help with the usage, let me know. -- Prod (Talk) 10:37, 20 June 2008 (CDT)
Put a {{Control selector|PlayStation 3,Wii,Xbox 350}} at the top of the page. Then anywhere you want to put the different controls, you something like {{control|{{psx|X}}|{{wii|A}}|{{xbox|X}}}}. Check out The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/The Beginning for an example of use. -- Prod (Talk) 11:00, 20 June 2008 (CDT)
Nice work with the updates. I've just got a few more pointers. Try to use the Show Preview button at the bottom. it lets you check if there are any obvious errors before saving. There is no need to add the text controller to the control selector since that term is right above. Finally, it's only possible to put one selector per page, so place it at the top of the page. Keep up the good work :) -- Prod (Talk) 02:01, 21 June 2008 (CDT)

Bully

Unfortunately, I don't own the game, nor have I ever played it. Do you know which are which? If so, you can just list them here and can fill it in later, or you can do it yourself... Sorry, --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 14:38, 30 April 2008 (CDT)

Finding the Staff Lounge

I noticed you mentioned that you may not see when someone responds to your comment on the staff lounge. Next time you venture to the staff lounge, click on the "watch" button in the tool bar on the top right of the page. From then on, whenever anyone makes an edit to the staff lounge, your watchlist will let you know. This watchlist can be accessed at the very top of the page, in between the contributions and preferences button (near where you log in). Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 08:10, 23 June 2008 (CDT)

Attitude correction

I've been watching some of the comments and edits that you've been making recently, and I'm putting you on warning right now that you are very close to receiving a temporary ban for some of the negative attitude that you've been displaying. The constant complaints on your part (especially concerning the Paper Mario guide) are not constructive in the least. You've been here long enough to know by now that no user has any responsibility to do any more or any less than he or she feels like doing. If you are "appalled" by something, your taking the time to say so could have been much better spent actually contributing something constructive to the guide. On the same note, erasing empty sections from a guide really isn't the best use of your time either. The sysops patrol the edits very well, so I would ask that you refrain from doing any corrective edits and stick to content contributions. We would appreciate your efforts to be a more positively contributing member of this community. Thank you very much. Procyon (Talk) 08:57, 23 June 2008 (CDT)

The only advice that I can give to you, is if you feel that you are getting upset about something, stop for a moment and think about the best way to resolve the issue. Take the case of the Paper Mario guide, for example. Not everyone who contributes to SW will be as thorough or even know enough to make a guide complete. This is where your knowledge and tenacity to see a project through to completion will help improve the guide over someone else's previous efforts. A lot of people contribute little bits here and there to feel like they are a part of something. Their reasons for contributing have more to do with what they're contributing to, than what they are contributing. You see to be more about making worthwhile contributions. Use that as a strength, not a weakness. Try to serve as an example of what a good contributor is. In other words, make sure that you can take pride in all of your behavior on SW, and serve as a role model to others who may not know how to develop guides as well as you. If you remember to keep all of this in mind, you could actually end up rising up the ranks of the staff here at SW. But complaining is definitely one thing that will prevent that from happening. Good luck. Procyon (Talk) 09:12, 24 June 2008 (CDT)
The one thing that I got from your recent message is something that Prod has also been trying to help you understand. The reason that none of the Cruis'n games are on StrategyWiki is because no one has felt like doing them. The only time a game gets added is when someone feels like adding it. So if you don't find the Cruis'n games, there's no reason to be upset. It just means that out of everyone who has visited the site, you're the first one who wanted to add it. No one has any "responsibilities" on SW except to contribute what they like. So don't be upset if you think something is missing. There's no need to be. Just feel free to add it yourself.

This is completely volunteer - no user receives funds from this site. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 02:30, 28 June 2008 (CDT)
