::It's alright, I didn't find out until yesterday myself lol, good thing I never used those images anyways. And you really don't look new to wikis, even the simplest wikicode like [[Samus Aran|simple links]] or file links [[File:Samus Varia Suit zm Sprite.gif|like this]] take many users weeks to understand {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 14:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

It is a violation of [[Metroid Wiki: Quality Standards|our quality standards]] to create articles as stubs. You can either write an article of sufficient length that can be modified later, or you can create a sub-page for works in progress. Thanks and keep contributing.

:Huh, I never realized that. Sorry, just wanted to get up to 1000 articles. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 09:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

::Yeah, 1000 articles is a nice goal and all, but article boosting isn't acceptable. It's hard to brag about having 1000 articles if a bunch of them are one or two lines. And that part of the quality standards really should be revised. It was placed there after a large-scale vandal attack where the vandal would create articles on the wanted pages list. So our users decided to create them first simply by placing something like:

::Creating articles that are stubs is okay, so long as they are acceptable stubs. It's difficult to define an "acceptable stub", but there is a big difference between one-line article-boosting pages and actually starting a page but being unable to provide sufficient information. Most of your articles are alright, Nintendbob, but some are one-line article boosters. You did manage to raise our article count significantly though, props, lol. Rather than deleting some, maybe we could try expanding? Oh btw M4E, the delete template is placed as the very first line of the page, you don't have to delete what was previously there. I haven't seen that delete template in a while lol {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 16:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

== Moving pages ==
That's weird, lol, I don't think regular users should be able to move pages. In any case, those were good moves, but it's weird that you can move them {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
:Nevamind, I just checked and it seems all autoconfirmed users can move pages, which you are {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:45, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
::Yeah, I've never moved pages before but the option to has always been there. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 10:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
==MP3 Rooms==
Since you've been doing rooms from the Prime series (and doing very well at it, I might add), it would make sense that you'd move on to Prime 3 rooms after you're done with Prime 2. Are you planning on doing Prime 3 rooms and if so, would you message me when you're almost ready to move on to them? I can create a Rooms-nav for MP3 shortly before you start so it's ready when you create those pages, but I have other projects I've been working on, so I'd rather not do it until it becomes helpful. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 12:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
:I intend to start on the MP3 rooms as soon as I finish the MP2 rooms, whenever that might be. I might even do the Hunters rooms after, I'll need to see how I feel after MP3. If you could make a nav for the rooms that would be great. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 12:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
::I'll get on a nav when you reach the Sanctuary rooms then. Have fun. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Oh I will, but only because you said to. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 01:10, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
The nav is finished and awaits your convenience. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 11:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks, I really appreciate the work it must have taken. I haven't been as active as I was since school started, but I plan on being a lot more active in a week or two once some stuff I have going on dies down. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 19:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
::It was fun, and no problem. I understand, real life can be really busy sometimes. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
