User talk:Racer21
We're glad that you signed up so that you can edit, build, and shape the Zelda Dungeon Wiki! Before you start editing, why don't you check out some of these useful links and read these basic rules?
- Edit your settings. Make sure you have set up your settings to make the wiki work the way you want it. We have a bunch of customizations that we have spent time creating, and we hope that you utilize them to the fullest.
- Please treat all members with respect. We don't want to have to ban someone because there is an issue between our users.
- Use wikicode and link templates when making edits to properly format pages. Use templates often to save on coding everything.
- If you have some questions, instead of sitting around doing nothing, ask our administration team. They won't bite.
- Head to our help page to find some links to helpful pages that will teach you how to do many things on the wiki.
- Read the FAQ to find the answers to a few common questions.
- Please use proper grammar and strive for good edits.
- Always sign talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically sign the page with your username and date.
- Use talk pages to talk about edits on pages. Do not participate in editing wars (i.e. editing a page over and over again to make the page what you think it should be rather than what another member thinks) as they are counter productive and will not solve the problem. Use the talk pages like they were meant to be used.
We hope that you enjoy your time here on the Zelda Dungeon Wiki and that you will help us make lots of really good edits. Keep in mind that the administration team will be watching for quality editors to bring them on to our site staff.
Do you have any initial questions? Feel free to ask on one of our staff talk pages.
Thanks again for joining! Can't wait to see you around!

Consolidating Edits
I see you're making a lot of small edits in a short time. This gives us staff more work to do. We need to check every edit that is made, so a lot of small edits to one article costs us time. It also clogs up the page edit history and makes it more difficult to see its progression. You can get more done at once, and leave less work for us. If you intend to fix up many small things on one page, try editing the page as a whole instead of editing a single section at a time, this works better for things such as the position of images. What might look good in just that section, might not necessarily look as good on the page as a whole. Also, when you think you're done with your edit(s), instead of saving right away, click the "show preview" button next to it below the text area. This will reduce the number of edits needed to get the result you're looking for. Once you're satisfied, then save it. This'll speed things up a lot for us, and will make it easier for you.— Emma (Talk) 04:44, February 12, 2012 (CST)
