Great job on the ''Super Metroid'' article first and foremost. Anyway, it's not necessary to link to something more than once in an article. Things are given links the first time they are mentioned, so if you mention Samus at the beginning of an article, for example, you can link to her page then, but if you mention her again, you don't need to link to the page again. Concerning links, when referring to plural objects, it's not necessary to do this: <nowiki>[[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]]</nowiki>. It's easier to just do this: <nowiki>[[Space Pirate]]s</nowiki> Besides, it looks neater in the coding.

:Hey, I get how the <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki> makes a signature, but how do you make it so it automatically makes it in other fonts and sizes? I looked at the coding on how to change it, but I don't want to have to type all that every single time. | :Hey, I get how the <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki> makes a signature, but how do you make it so it automatically makes it in other fonts and sizes?

::To make a custom signature, follow these steps, [[Help:Advanced Functions]]. Hope that helped. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 11:41, 3 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Just do what Nintendbob said and follow those directions and you should be able to make you own signature. After the coding is placed in your preferences, the wiki will automatically place it on talk pages when you sign comments. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 17:56, 3 August 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Watermarked images == | |||
We do not allow watermarked images here. There are a few reasons for this, but one of the biggest ones is a big watermark showing up in one of our articles does not look very nice. Also, will you add a link to the exact page that [[:File:Echo Visor.jpg]] was taken, this will help us fill out our image sourcing template. Anyways, thanks for your contributions and I hope you'll stick around for a while. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 18:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:One more thing to add totally unrelated to the watermarked images, in the future please try to format room articles that you create in a similar fashion to preexisting room articles. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:27, 14 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Okay, no problem. :) [[User:Findow|Findow]] 19:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Room articles== | |||
The next time you create a room article, would you please only include details that are relevant to the room? Details about boss battles that take place in that room, trivia about a boss that is defeated in that room, etc are unnecessary to a room article. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 23:25, 15 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Multiple Edits == | |||
Hey Findow! Thank you for your recent additions to Metroid Wiki. However I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones! Hope this helps! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 01:00, 21 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Yeah, I figured that part out a couple pages ago. Thanks for the tip! :) [[User:Findow|Findow]] 01:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Improvement Templates == | |||
Hi Findow!! Thank you for all the effort you're putting into creating new articles (especially room articles)! I just wanted to drop by and request that you start adding our different improvement templates, such as the [[Template:image|image template]], [[Template:sources|sources template]], and [[Template:Stub|stub template]] to pages you've created so people can continue to make them bigger and better! | |||
For example, if you've created a page and it has no images (or needs more), use <nowiki>{{image}}</nowiki> to categorize the article in such a way that we know it's in need of some. Using <nowiki>{{sources}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> will let users know that an article needs more citations (like scan data) or length, respectively. Thanks in advance!! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 17:59, 28 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks Embyr! I wasn't sure what to put to add the templates. | |||
== Imageless articles == | |||
Please remember to include {{t|image}} on (most) articles that are without images, exceptions to this are things that are merely referred to that don't really have a suitable image (like [[Ylla]]). {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 17:55, 26 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I know, I was making those pages last night, but I couldn't remember to write it so the image banner would appear. Thanks :) [[User:Findow|Findow]] 04:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
