User help[edit]

There are a bunch of really helpful user related pages. But whenever, I need to find them, I have to search all over the wiki only to give up in defeat. Could some one make a section/ page devoted to helpful links. e.g. there is a page that has the percentage of edits by searching a user and calculating contribution percentage. now I can't find it. Or being able to easily find needy pages. (under categories) There may be links to them somewhere or I may just have to know what to look for, but this is really starting to bug me. Even an explanation for newer users on what the links at the top right do. There may be a really simple answer for this, I just don't know it. If you could help me, that would be great.

p.s. The toolbar on left looks really nice and everything, so it shouldn't be there. Just somewhere I can find it. GG445 Me! "...?" heiho!

Could we?[edit]

Could we make a help page about how to make a PipeProject? Artwork of Dry Bones from Mario Party 8.Happy Halloween! Bone Goomba.png

I think that would be a good idea, but I think it already says how to make one on the PipeProject article. Tadaa!2.gifSupremoTadaaa!.gif

Externally Linked Images[edit]

I know there's a way to embed images from some other place on the internet other than this wiki by typing the url into something, but I can't find anything in the help pages that says how to do that. SKmaric (talk)

It has been done here, but even if you look at the syntax for it, it's still not clear how it was embedded. 'Shroom Spotlight Shokora (talk · edits)

Applied[edit]

I applied for the Shroom a little while ago, about a week ago and Crocodile Dippy Ignored me! I've been waiting but what do I do? YoshiMonsta (talk)

Is there information anywhere about how the images the wiki uses are obtained? They are great!

How do you make a contents list?[edit]

The subject speaks for itself. NintendoFan08 13:32, October 26, 2022 (EDT)

Not really, what do you mean by "contents list?" Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:24, October 26, 2022 (EDT)
I think the person meant the contents table. It looks like it automatically appears if you have four or more headings/subheadings. KoolKoopa (talk) 14:31, October 26, 2022 (EDT)
Otherwise, you can use __TOC__. But that's not what this page is about... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:57, October 26, 2022 (EDT)

My article can't be linked to[edit]
