Wiki markup

Hey, I see you're enthusiastic about contributing to StrategyWiki, and that's great. Please take the time to read through the Guide, which will explain how we set our pages up and how to properly mark up pages to create links and add categories. For examples, take a look at the changes that have been made to NBA Live 2002, Virtual Kasparov and the NBA Live 2002 controls page.

The reason I deleted the NBA Live 2002/Walkthrough page was because it had no {{Header Nav}} or {{Footer Nav}} templates and the small bit of information should have been on the NBA Live 2002/Getting Started page. It takes a little while to get the hang of how to do all this wiki stuff, but just keep paying attention to how people are cleaning it up and read the links in your welcome message, and you'll be making edits just fine in no time. For starting new pages within a guide, just use the "Guide page" button above the edit text box to automatically insert the Header and Footer navs for you. Have fun, - najzere 06:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Please take the time to read through the links that have been provided to you so I don't have to keep deleting your contributions. Thanks, - najzere 07:00, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Why did you keep NBA Live 2002 and Virtual Kasparov but not Rig Racer 2 or Quake III Arena? I'am very confused right now btw i also read the guide about how to start a new page i guess i have been leaving out an introduction??? --NikoAk-47 07:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I guess i just don't know how to write strategy guides for video games i shall be off then... unless you want me to stick around? --NikoAk-47 07:13, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do stick around. I've restored those two pages and cleaned them up a bit as I believe they're a good starting point. I believe you followed the format relatively well, so do continue to contribute. -- Prod (Talk) 07:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I can see how naj has been giving you a hard time, however please understand that it's in both of our best interests to urge you to follow our current standards. You see, the less work the admins have to do managing users (vandalism, education, and revision), the more productive the whole site becomes. So with that in mind, think of naj as your personal trainer =) On a side note, feel free to start new pages. We encourage users to be bold. You will not be "punished" or shunned (or banned) from our community unless you are truly a negative influence. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 10:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
