Editing Pointers[edit]

Hi Russadwan! I looked at the content you wrote for the Twilight Princess guide and the Ocarina of Time guide, and I'm here to give you some advice:

  • Break up content into smaller paragraphs. This just makes what you write easier to read.
  • Use the "preview" button before saving pages. This allows you to actually see what is going to be presented on the page you are working on, and allows you to work out any misspellings, bad links, etc. before the page actually goes online.
  • Check your spelling and homonyms. While others might come around and correct it for you, don't count on them doing it.
  • Have fun. If you don't enjoy the game you're writing the guide for or enjoy writing the guide, work on a different guide that you do enjoy.

Keep up the good work! --Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs 21:26, 11 February 2007 (CST)

To start a new paragraph, insert a blank line before you start typing again. Otherwise, the text will just stay in the previous paragraph. Also, spacing twice after a period really isn't necessary, as the wiki will only put one space in anyway. --Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs 12:47, 16 February 2007 (CST)
