Signing talk pages

Hi! When posting something on a talk page, you need to sign your comment so other users know who said it. This can be done by putting three tildes after your comment like this: ~~~ or put four tildes like this: ~~~~ to include a timestamp, which is recommended. More information can be found here. I hope this helps, and keep on editing!

Preview button

Hi! Sorry to bother you again, but before you save an edit, press the preview button located next to it. This will show you a preview of the article so you can make sure everything looks right. Also, when you're adding info to an article, try to add it all at once instead of in tons of small additions. The purpose of both these rules is so that Recent Changes is not flooded with tons of edits to the same page. Lastly, writing in the second person is not allowed within articles. In other words, words like "you" should be replaced with "the player" or a similar substitute. I hope all of this helps, and don't be afraid to keep on making edits!

You're welcome. I joined just a few months ago myself, but feel free to ask me or any other users for help. The admins are often the most experienced users, so they help me a lot.
