Welcome![edit]
Hello Mrjack! Welcome to UESPWiki.
I noticed your contribution already. Although that area is one I'm not knowledgeable about, if you don't get responses helping you to move forward, please let me know, and I'll help you find the right people/person to give you some guidance. You should certainly feel comfortable adding whatever you feel might belong to an article. It may be improved on, relocated, or even removed, but that's how the wiki works, especially for new editors. We really appreciate your interest and help. Here is the standard welcome message:
We are glad to have you as a new member of the community here at UESP. Here are some links that may help you get started:
- Policies and Guidelines: UESPWiki standards and expectations
- Help Contents: a list of in-depth Help pages
- Quick Editing Guide: a quick guide to wiki markup
- Getting Started: ideas on how you can contribute
If you would like to spice up your userpage, take a look at the Userboxes page: a near complete list of userboxes, including a guide to making your own.
When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~ (do not sign edits to articles). Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to proofread changes you make before saving (publishing) the page on the wiki. This reduces the total number of changes and helps our (patrollers check changes more efficiently).
While we have policies and guidelines to maintain the high standards of the wiki, we also encourage editors to jump right in and start adding to the wiki before learning them. It takes time to learn how things are done, and people will be happy to correct things for you if you do something that doesn't follow a standard. Except for deliberate rudeness, vandalism, spam, etc., we encourage you to "be bold" when adding to or revising our pages. In fact, that's our official policy.
Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox or discuss the games or the wiki in the forums or in our IRC chatroom. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me or one of our mentors. Have fun! --JR (talk) 03:50, 24 December 2012 (GMT)
