Hi Guides:Spawning Hotspots! As a new wiki user the following message is to say hi and let you know some of the wiki guidelines. It's OK to be new, and we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight away, here some useful tips to help you out.
General Editing |
Every user begin with two pages.
and
User:Whatever is for you to tell others about yourself or your characters. You are the only user allowed to edit this page. User talk:Whatever is where others can leave you messages or you can have conversations with others.
Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page. |
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:Guides:Spawning Hotspots). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Guides:Spawning Hotspots/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. |
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:Guides:Spawning Hotspots). 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. 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 |
