Most of my contributions are to SimFarm.

Pre-load buttons

The pre-load 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 pre-load buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add {{Header Nav}} to the top and {{Footer Nav}} to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — Procyon 13:47, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Image categorisation

When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e. [[Category:Game Name images]]. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! — Procyon 14:30, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

SimFarm versions

Is there more than one version of SimFarm? From your ToC change, it seems the Windows version is significantly different. Should it be split into two guides? -- Prod (talk) 16:00, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

The ToC change referred to in-game windows, not the Windows operating system. I'm planning on putting in details about how to use each window in the game, since in-game documentation is lacking.--Thelr (talk) 13:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Ah, that makes much more sense! I've changed the heading to screens, since I think that's an easier heading to understand, but feel free to revert the change. -- Prod (talk) 14:22, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
The game itself refers to them as Windows, so I'll probably revert it, but I'll think it over some more first. --Thelr (talk) 14:58, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Easier editing

The Show preview button (right next to the Save page button) lets you see how your changes will look before saving the page. You can use Show preview as many times as you like until you get the page how you want it. You can also edit the whole page at one time, as opposed to by section, by clicking the Edit tab at the top of the page. Hopefully these little shortcuts will make it easier for you to get the desired result when you're editing, and save you a little time. Thanks for working on the wiki! — Procyon 14:11, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Procyon. I do use the preview tool frequently. When creating these pages from scratch, its easy to miss some things, or think of some additional information just after hitting "save page".--Thelr (talk) 15:02, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
