Preview Button

Arylon, please use the Preview button when you want to check your changes. You spammed the Recent Changes page with nearly 20 separate edits to the same page today. --Anaris 16:37, 24 February 2007 (CET)

Strong Endorse Anaris's plea. --Jezralhm 07:49, 25 February 2007 (CET)

Arylon, I would like to once again strongly encourage you to use the Preview button. You had 10 separate edits of your "testing" page in 3 short bursts, which you could have reduced to 3 edits, if you would simply click the "Preview" button rather than the "Submit" button when you want to see what your changes will look like. It makes it much easier for the editors, and other people looking at the Recent Changes page, if you do not fill it up with useless edits. --Anaris 19:41, 30 March 2007 (CEST)

Just as a pre-emptive comment, I am aware that today I changed an infobox like 4 or 5 times - and I apologize for the inconvenience, but I needed to make the changes official to see how it effected another page. I should be completely done with it now, so you shouldn't have to see it again. 03:44, 18 April 2007 (CEST)

Nexis

May I upload an edited version of his picture. I made it look more like a painting on photoshop so it isn't so obvious it's a screenshot on a game. That's what I usually do. Get screenshots and then edit the crap out of' em on photoshop. -- Shenron 15:41, March 22 2007 (CET)

Minor edits

I would recommend that you only use the minor edit checkbox for such things as spelling, grammar and formatting corrections. Never mark a new article as minor, since the creation of the article is a major event in the history of the article. Some users leave minor edits off their watch lists, so marking something as minor that is not keeps them out of the loop. --OOC Habap 14:51, 17 April 2007 (CEST)

Marking all of your edits as minor is not helpful. You wrote a wonderful article on the rebellion and marked your edit as minor with no edit summary. It would be useful if you didn't mark things as minor unless they actually are and if you would use the edit summaries. This way, people browsing recent changes can notice changes and enjoy the opportunity to read your work. --OOC Habap 18:07, 18 April 2007 (CEST)

"Articles Written by Arylon"

Yes it's good to be proud but the wiki is a community effort and it pisses people off when you make it sound like you are the only contributor. It could be argued that if people don't like it they can do it as well, but that would be ridiculous as at the bottom of the page you'd get a useless list of categories. Categories are not made for specific users and if people want to see what you've been doing they can look at your contributions -- Shenron 2nd July 2007

Actually, yeah, I have a much better solution. Set on your prefences that you will put on your watchlist, you probably already have. Then the pages you edit will come up on your watchlist, or another solution is to just use the search, after typing in the exact name, your computer should just remember the name when you type the first 2 letters. But no matter what, categories aren't for that use and make the wiki, as I like to say, "un-pretty". -- Shenron 2nd July 2007

Subpage Issues

Not to crap on you too much today, but can you please ensure that your pages are located in the appropriate hierarchy, e.g. character pages belong as subpages of your family page, pages about specific realms belong as subpages of the realm page. You've contributed enough by now to know that Meta:Style Guide isn't just a friendly suggestion, it's what keeps the wiki from becoming disorganized and unusable. -- Murakama 12:43, 2 July 2007 (CEST)
