Message from Ev933n

I can appreciate that you are attempting to start a new group. The concept is even one that I can familiarize myself with. I was wondering if you wanted any creative assistance? I am sometimes a ninja with wiki code, and have some spare time to help out. iThat is not to say that any of my characters wish to join. Just that I am sympathetic to your cause.

Basic Editing

For starters, if you want to put a link that looks like this the code looks like [[User:Ev933n|this]] and not [[User:Ev933n]] ... The bit in between my userlink and the flavor text is called a pipe "|" ... Also, if you want to leave your "signature" ... look above a text input field ... the second to last button (the one with the little squiggly) will automatically add your sig and a timestamp... also, instead of clicking the button, input --~~~~ ... see? --Ev933n / Talk 17:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Advertising your Group

Followup... advertising. Make a Template for your group. I can make you a pretty basic one that you can hack if you so desire? But also, GRAFFITI!! Grab a spray can and tag the city with your group link... --Ev933n / Talk 17:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Editing your Group Page

I may do some editing on your Group page, but I will stop as soon as you would like. You should start adding actual verses from the Gospel of Caiger! --Ev933n / Talk 17:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to our Wiki

There is also this crude thing.

Hi Vexan! As we can see, you made your first edits to this wiki not long ago. It's OK to be new, and we encourage new blood to join and enrich our community. At the same time, we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight off the bat, and, just in case you get stuck, here're some useful tips to help you out. Please take the time to read them.

General Editing
  • Never delete someone else's edits, comments, responses, etc. off community pages. To do so is considered vandalism.
  • If you write a comment it's useful to sign it so that other editors will know who wrote it. You can write "~~~~" at the end of your comment to sign it, or there's this button Sign.png on the top of the edit page that will sign for you if you want.
  • You may want to know how your edits will look before they have been saved, to make sure that nothing is wrong. Use the "Preview" button before the "Save" button - it's your friend!
  • If you're slow in your editing and there's an editing conflict, you might not understand the error that you get. The easiest way to overcome the edit conflict is to copy whatever you have been writing, go back with your browser, and then re-enter the edit page so that you can add your edits without deleting those made before yours.
  • The wiki is a collaborative project, please do your best to work well with fellow editors.

Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page.

Project Mentor

Project Mentor has been set up to allow new wiki users to have a more experienced wiki veteran mentor them for the first few weeks. Visit its page for more information!

Your User Page

One of the great things about the wiki is that every user can have his or her own user page! These pages are located in the User: namespace — in other words, they all begin with "User:" (yours is User:Vexan). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Vexan/Your Character's Name). Please don't create pages about yourself outside the User: namespace. Those pages will be moved into subpages of your user page, and the original speedily deleted. If you want something to be deleted, use the speedy deletion page; that's why Criterion 7 was made.

User Talk Pages

Every user has a talk page, found by clicking the "discussion" link at the top of his or her user page, or by going directly to it (yours would be User talk:Vexan). If you have a question for someone, or want to say something to him or her, his or her user talk page is the place.

However, many users on the wiki have established specific guidelines for how their user talk pages are to be treated — where new comments should go, how they should be written, what is or is not okay to talk about, etc. Be sure to look for guidelines on the talk page before you leave a comment.

If you don't see any guidelines specified, the assumption is that you should place your comment at the bottom of the talk page, under a level 2 heading. This can be accomplished by clicking the "+" link next to the "edit" tab at the top of the talk page, or by manually typing in your message in this format:

==Message title==

Your message goes here

When replying to a comment already laid on the page, remember to indent it correctly: do it by inserting as many colons plus one to the message you're replying to at the begining of your message, like this:

==Message title==

Your message

:User's reply

::Your reply
The Suggestions Page

We know that as a new user, you want to share your ideas with us. But a community as big as ours has already seen all kind of suggestions, and it's possible that we've already seen something very similar to the ideas you have. Follow these simple guidelines to make sure that your suggestion gets the respect that it deserves:

  • We strongly recommend that you read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and the Frequently Suggested Ideas pages so that you will have an idea of what kind of suggestions are likely to be accepted and what kind are ridiculous in the eyes of the community. The pages might look long and time-consuming to read, but you will find them entertaining and helpful.
  • You might also want to look at the Previous Days Suggestions. These contain a record of all previous suggestions. Use the search function in your browser to search for keywords relating to the suggestion you want to make.
  • It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the wiki and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Suggestions Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it.
  • Write your suggestion according to these steps. If it looks too complicated for you, ask for help.
  • You can't modify a suggestion that you've written once it has been posted on the Suggestions page. You can withdraw and resubmit it with changes later, but only do that if people liked your original suggestion while requesting changes, not if it was Spaminated.
  • If you get stuck at ANY point in writing your suggestion, ask for help. There's no shame in being new and after a few times, you'll get the hang of it.
Additional Contacts

If there's anything not covered by this introduction, you still have plenty of avenues to find some extra help. Project Welcome and Project Mentor are perfect starting points, but if you have something more pressing at hand, don't be afraid to get in touch with the administration staff.

Remember: These guidelines may look difficult to learn and follow, but they're mainly just common sense! Think about what you're going to say or do before you do it! If you don't make an effort to do so, then why would others have the obligation to be nice to you? Feel free to ask any Project Welcome member if you need help, that's our purpose anyways!

If you want to delete this text, just delete the {{Welcomenewbie}} line from your talk page. Remember that you can always have access to these tips on the Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie page.

How is everything?

Just checking up on you and your group. Busy in RL lately? Heh, if you need/want anything done on your page, let me know. I can still help. You should probably talk to a few groups that are Caiger-Centric, and see if they want to ally with you. --Ev933n / Talk PPGC 17:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Good to hear!

That is all really good to hear! I just have one thing to mention. In your Sig, you put 

-01:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC) [[User:Vexan|Vexan]]<sup>[[Caiger's Children|CoC]]<sup>

What you wanted to put was... 

-01:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC) [[User:Vexan|Vexan]]<sup>[[Caiger's Children|CoC]]</sup>

notice the slash in the second sup tag. it ends your text formatting.

--Ev933n / Talk PPGC 16:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, right. sometimes I forget the slash, sorrya bout that. VexanCoC-22:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
You can put that in your signature. Or in a template. --Ev933n / Talk PPGC 00:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


Um....

Some random person uploaded an image called someimage.jpg, so it's now on your page...and I don't think your want that image.--Lachryma☭ 01:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Well played Lach. Whodafuck uploaded it? was it our newest member? and why can't people change code!!!--Ev933n / Talk PPGC 16:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC) (this conversation continued at User Talk:Lachryma)
Yeah, when I said "random person", I meant "Lonewolf17a". He was too lazy to change the name, I guess.--Lachryma☭ 23:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, Thank you. I haven't logged on in awhile (lack of time, mostly). I probalby wouldn't ahve noticed if you didn't let me know. Image removed.-VexanCoC 03:06, 2 April 2007 (BST)
