Use the '''Show preview''' button, beside the Save page button, to check your edit for errors before you save. That way, you minimize the amount of edits per article, which helps out the staff, keeps the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] clean, and keeps a load off the servers. | |||

Welcome
Few things
A few things about editing here. First, please do not add battling strategies to articles, you can mention what weapons they are most vulnerable to but actual battling strategies are not allowed. Second, please do not upload watermarked images. Regarding other images, please make sure that there are not versions of the file already uploaded. File:Echoes Dark Samus.png is the same file you upload, just higher resolution and transparent (which is preferred over solid backgrounds). For the sake of giving you more experience, would you swap the image on your page for the better one? Just be sure to add an image size ([[File:Echoes Dark Samus.png|250px]] would make it the same size as the one you have on your page already.) Finally, when you added an infobox to the Phazon Grub page, you used the wrong one ({{Room-infobox}}). In that instance you would use {{Creature-infobox}}.

Hey Arc! I answered the question you asked Metroidking on his talk page. Here are a few more pointers to cover the basics of wiki editing:
Use the Show preview button, beside the Save page button, to check your edit for errors before you save. That way, you minimize the amount of edits per article, which helps out the staff, keeps the Recent Changes clean, and keeps a load off the servers.
Lastly, the image you uploaded here File:M2 C Samus LightSuit01 ad.jpg is a duplicate file of this one File:Light Suit.png, but the latter is transparent and better quality. Be sure to check the pages that will have the images you want on them (or the proper category; here's a list of all the categories, or you can check the popular categories on the Main Page).
I hope that helps! Feel free to check the editing help page for more info, or ask any of the staff! —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 18:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
