Welcome to StrategyWiki![edit]

Hello Nintenstationcast64! 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 or visit the Discord server to chat. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the staff lounge as well. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Image uploads[edit]

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! — Procyon 02:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm going to delete the images you uploaded so far. Please re-upload them with proper names and proper categories in the description. It's just faster this way. Thank you. Procyon 02:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Second warning. Until your uploads conform to the site's rules, they cannot be accepted. Please make sure you at least include the name "Nights" in your image filenames, and that you include [[Category:NiGHTS into Dreams... images]] somewhere in the description of your upload. Please acknowledge that you've read this. Thank you. Procyon 04:11, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

While I see that you added the correct category to the images you uploaded, you still failed to name the files correctly. Nor did you acknowledge that you've read this page. I've gone ahead and renamed the files in accordance with our image naming and categorization so that you don't have to reupload them, but I'd appreciate it if you could follow the guidelines in the future.

Thank you Nintenstationcast64 (talk) 23:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

You don't have to upload the file, and then edit the description. You can add the description and the category on the same screen when you upload the file. Procyon 00:54, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Easier editing[edit]

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 00:54, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Japanese names[edit]

For the Sonic Adventure/Enemies page, consider using the {{nihongo}} template when representing Japanese names. Click on the template to see how it works, or look at the front page for any Japanese game that we have on the site, they all use the nihongo template. Procyon 00:51, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
