ContentsWelcome![edit]Hello KevinM! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's always good to have new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:
If you would like to spice up your userpage, click here for a list of userboxes you can use, including a guide to making your own. When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!). Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox. If you would like to discuss the games or lore, consider checking out our blog, our Discord, or the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Lastly, thanks once again for joining the UESPWiki, and have fun! — Wolfborn(Howl) 06:04, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Advice[edit]Hello and welcome to UESPWiki! Thanks for your interest in the wiki; however, you seem to have been making multiple edits to a page by not using the show preview button, clogging up the Recent Changes in the process. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but keep in mind that each edit needs to be patrolled, so multiple consecutive edits create an unnecessary hassle on those who patrol. So please utilize this feature! You may also want to look over our style guide and Getting Started guide. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. AKB Talk Cont Mail 19:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Hat Notes[edit]Hey! I've noticed you adding hat notes (those "This page is about X, for the person in Y, see Z" notes). Per the guidelines on hatnotes, they should only be added if there is a reasonable assumption that a user is going to accidentally end up on a page and not realize by the name alone that it isn't the same as the other, similar page. For example, If someone is named Bob and another NPC is named Bob Goodperson, the page at Bob would get a hat note, since both NPCs could be referred to as just Bob in dialogue. But the page of Bob Goodperson wouldn't need a hat note, since the main Bob is never ever referred to with that last name, so anyone landing at Bob Goodperson isn't likely to think it's the same as just Bob. Most of the pages you added Hatnotes to don't really need those notes. Two NPCs that share a first name but not a last name don't need hatnotes. There are MANY of these, and we don't need to add hatnotes to them all. Jeancey (talk) 18:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC) |
