Hey, bro, just a heads up link significant items in your Wiki contributions to their respective pages using the [[]] code. I hope I'm not minimodding although this is a Wiki and if so forgive me.

Going off of what A_LINK_IN_TIME said, when you make a page be sure to use Infoboxes. You can find a variety of Infoboxes [[:Category:Infobox Templates|here]]. In addition to creating pages, make sure you use categories. For example: <nowiki>{{Cat|The Minish Cap Items}}</nowiki>. You'll want to include the "Game Name" and category it falls into such as items, locations, or even dungeons. Not every page will need a category, and not every page will need an Infobox; that's fine. Also, if you feel a page could have more information added to it in the future, you can list it as a Stub by using <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki>. | |||
Next, the pages you edit/create will always have a large box at the bottom of it. Use this to your advantage, it's there to assist you. Another thing, make sure you only link something once (links can be made with <nowiki>[[ and ]]</nowiki> wrapped around the text you want to link). For example: "[[Tingle]] ran across the field. Afterwards, Tingle ran inside a house". See how Tingle was mentioned twice but only linked once? That's what I'm getting at. Another tip: the first time you mention the title of a page, make sure it's in bold. Any other time bolding the title of the page every other time it's mentioned is deemed unecessary. Finally, always make sure that the page you are about to make doesn't already exist. I've made this mistake a few times, I'd recommend you don't do what I did. Be sure to search the page and confirm whether it exists or not before creating any page. | |||
I hoped this helped you out a bit. Thanks for editing the Wiki! We really appreciate it! [[User:Atticus|Atticus]] 17:41, September 17, 2012 (CDT) | |||
