::::::I think the issue at hand here, is that it is not enough to simply create a page using the Main Page template button. Having an empty new main page is as practical to the site as not having any page there at all. It's great that you want to add new games to the site, and we totally encourage you to continue doing that. But before you do, please be prepared to provided a ''little'' information about the game, including information missing from the infobox (developer, producer, systems, genre, etc. all of which is readily available and easily found), and at least one or two introductory sentences so people can learn what kind of game it is. Please take this advice into consideration before you start a new game page. Thanks very much.

:::::::''Edit'': I see part of the problem here. Please make sure you including your introductory sentence ''below'' the templates (stub, infobox, etc.) and just above the Continue Nav.

I see you're starting another game. Why don't you look at the past main pages you've created, which I've had to clean up, and attempt to format them in the same manner? I thought you said you would try to learn to use the wiki. I'm awake in chat now, BTW. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 22:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
== New pages == | |||
Before creating '''any''' more new pages, look at the previous pages that you've made and various sysops have cleaned up. You consistently manage to neglect the work that others have to exert in order to clean up the stuff that you make. While this is fine for your first couple of contributions, this is beginning to reach the point where it is simply ridiculous. If you can't find the time out of editing to look back at other pages to see the templates they use, how they are formatted, etc. (especially in the infoboxes), then you will be ''temporarily banned'' so you have plenty of time to do so. Your inability to look back and change the way you do things is creating more work for the sysops that are already flooded with things to do. Would you rather see StrategyWiki free of vandalism and full of cool features or would you rather see a mess of people following your every edit and adding an {{t|rd}} tag because you just used plain text for a release date? My point is, go into your contributions (there is a link in the top right that leads you there), and go to all the various pages that sysops have cleaned up for you. Look at them, and figure out what you can do differently so that we don't need to clean them up anymore. Then, look at some of the [[:Category:Guides at completion stage 5|featured guides]] to see how those are formatted, and apply those concepts to your new pages as well. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig4}} 01:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
:There's no way to get around this. Either do it correctly, or don't do it. Don't give us more work to do, alleviate pressure by doing what we do. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 09:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Welcome back == | |||
Two months later and I see nothing has changed. This time you only get this one warning, because in reality this more like the sixth warning. Going away for a couple months and coming back to the same pattern of editing isn't encouraged any more than doing them all at once. Saying you "didn't have time" to read the policy pages isn't going to cut it either. We've been extremely accommodating of your constant unwillingness to learn how the wiki works, but at some point, as I've said before, we must come to the conclusion that StrategyWiki just isn't for you. If you are serious about contributing to this project, please read the [[StrategyWiki:Guide|Guide]] and familiarize yourself with wiki markup and how our various templates and procedures work. Specifically, learn how to fill out an {{t|infobox}}, since you seem to like making new pages, and make sure you understand the [[StrategyWiki:Images|policy on image naming and categorization]]. No one expects your edits to be perfect right off the bat, but if you show '''no improvement whatesoever''', I think it will be clear to all parties involved that you are not taking editing the wiki seriously. This is your final warning, so I hope you make the most of it. As always, feel free to ask questions before making any edits you're unsure of. You can do so on [[User talk:Najzere|my talk page]], the [[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge|staff lounge]], or in the [[Special:Mibbit|chat room]].
