Welcome to StrategyWiki!

Hello WaddleDoo! 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. If you have a question about the content on this wiki, you can check out our staff lounge page. If you want to ask questions or hang out in IRC, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums. Please remember to sign your name on, and only on, talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field as this helps to document all of your hard work. Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! -- Prod (Talk) 21:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Writing style

Hi. On StrategyWiki, we try to keep the guides impersonal, and not too casual in style (although definitely not stiff). The stuff you've been writing for Super Paper Mario is a little too casual, and could do with being more to-the-point and less talkative. I hope you can try to do this with future edits.

Additionally, could you try to use the "Show Preview" button more, and make fewer, larger edits to a page; rather than lots of small ones? It makes our lives as sysops patrolling people's edits a lot easier if there aren't hundreds of them to patrol at once. Thanks, and keep editing! --DrBob (talk) 23:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a second note to keep the writing style more professional. Don't use words like "I" and "we", and don't add your own speculation or opinions in either. — najzere^T 18:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

This is your third and final warning to keep drivel out of the game pages. All content on the wiki is written by multiple editors, so a single, third-person voice is used. That means speaking from the first-person (i.e. saying "I" or "we") is not allowed. Please start using the writing style found on the rest of the wiki. — najzere^T 22:18, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Preload buttons

Here's what the buttons look like.

Hi, please use the preload buttons located above the edit text box when creating a new page. These buttons will insert the needed templates and formatting for you, which helps keep uniformity across the wiki. — Sigma 7 21:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

This is a second note to use the preload buttons. You've added the {{Header Nav}} to your recent new pages, but they were missing the {{Footer Nav}}, which is also essential to our guide navigation system. Both templates are inserted with the "Guide page" preload button, so please start using that. — najzere^T 18:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

This is your third and final warning to use the preload buttons when creating a new page. What you are doing is either using the preload and deleting the Footer Nav, or just creating a page and only inserting the Header Nav. The preload button is there to make it easy for you (by using one mouse click), but if you prefer to insert templates by hand, that's okay too. Just make sure you have both templates in any guide pages you create. — najzere^T 22:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Temporary ban

Apparently you don't even want to try, because you went right back to inserting drivel and not using the preload buttons. Thank you for going back (making another separate edit on every single page you started) and copying a footer nav from some other page that clearly doesn't work on the one you put it on, but that not really what I'm looking for. I don't really understand why you won't just press the "Guide page" button, but if you refuse to, then it's up to you to get the templates right yourself. This ban isn't meant to stop you from editing, but rather to give you a wakeup call so you know that we are serious about enforcing our policies. From here the bans will become lengthier until you are gone forever for being a disruptive editor. Hopefully it doesn't go any further than this, and you make an effort to follow the minimum editing standards we have and help us maintain the great quality that this site is known for. If you need help, feel free to ask on my talk page or the staff lounge. — najzere^T 23:18, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Continued problems with drivel and neutral point of view

It's been nearly fourth months since you last edited the wiki after being temporarily banned for not adhering to our simple guidelines. Unfortunately you're continuing in the same vein, so I have to put you on notice that bans of longer duration will be forthcoming if you keep it up. You've never responded to anything on your talk page, which is not a good sign. If you don't understand something we're asking you to do, you need to let us know so we can explain in greater detail. If you refuse to stop writing drivel on guide pages and you don't respond to your talk page messages, we can only assume you don't care about the rules here, and that's simply unacceptable. To reiterate, please ask if you have any questions. I'd hate to see you prevented from editing due to a miscommunication. Thanks, — najzere^T 13:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
