 * Actually they go on the images, not on the pages. I'll fix it. 19:07, October 2, 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Thanks. I'm still trying to figure the whole thing out.

Signature
Understandable. We were all new at one point. Next thing is, signatures. Whenever you add something to a talk page, you should sign your posts. You can do this by clicking on the second-to-last button on the toolbar above the edit box, or by typing four tildes ( ~ ). Whenever you forget to do this, a member will add a nosig template like I did above. This makes it easy to tell who is talking and to tell when each post was added. Also make sure that your post and the previous post are not indented by the same amount. You can indent a post by typing a colon at the very beginning of the line for each time you want to indent. If the previous post was not indented, then indent yours once. You should indent further if unless the last post was three or more indentions long. This makes it easier to distinguish one post from another. 23:25, October 2, 2008 (UTC)

Ok! Thank you very much! Alter 00:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Stuff
If you want to add an image request to the page: on the very top line of the page type in 'image' (without the quotes) in the { } brackets. Also, please do not make references small in size. It might make sense, but it messes up the page. Lastly, be sure of sign all posts on talk pages by typing in four ~ marks after your last sentence. See ya later! 05:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the tips! What do you mean, do not make references small in size? I'm not sure how to change their size... Alter 05:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes. You can make text smaller, but it is usually never need in references. If you want to make text smaller, just type in the following: your text here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or an admin! 05:46, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Zelda Dungeon
Hey there, I saw that you joined the Zelda Dungeon Forum and added the Wiki template to your Wiki page, awesome! At the forums, I made you a part of the ZeldaWiki usergroup, so you now have a blue usergroup color, a small banner under your name in your posts, and you can now post in the ZeldaWiki section of the forum. I know you got your own site and I don't expect to see you much, but thanks for joining and putting the template on the Wiki. Good luck with your site too. Getting quite close to it.

Some Advice
It's good to see that you're so keen in contributing to the wiki and making so many edits. As a Patroller, there's a few things that I've noticed with you edits that I want to point out to you, so you can improve your editing.


 * References: Just adding a game title as a reference isn't accurate. References are either in-game quotes or websites/ books etc where the information was obtained from. References are there with an in game quote to support a section in the article, or a website to say you obtained that information from there. Just stop putting game titles as sole references for the whole page.
 * New Pages: Make sure you throughly search the wiki before creating a new page, for example the LA DX page you created already has its place on the LA page, so I changed it to a redirect. If you think LA DX should be separate discuss it on the talk page of LA.
 * Effort: I ask you to take a little bit more time on each edit and add more detail. Make sure that when you mention the page title in the page, make it bold the first time it appears. Make sure you always say what game the page corresponds too, using the full name. Overall you need to add more detail to your edits and add pictures, so we don't just end up with heaps of stubs. Also remember to wiki link to everything necessary.

If you take these into account, you're on track to becoming a great editor. Feel free to discuss it with me further if you need more clarification. 06:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
