Welcome![edit]
Hello Steve-o! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's always good to have new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:
- 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: how you can help
- Uploading Images: Guidelines on image standardization
If you would like to spice up your userpage, click here for a list of userboxes you can use, 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 ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!).
Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox or discuss the games on the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Have fun!
Also, I didn't want to sidetrack the discussion, but your editing limitations will be lifted automatically once you've been on the wiki for at least 4 days, and have made at least 10 edits. I believe, in most cases, you won't be prevented from posting links at that point, though it may still give warnings about them at times. Depending on the exact problem, you may be able to post in smaller chunks, and if you need to, you can deliberately break the links (e.g., by putting spaces in them) so that they're allowed through. The point of all this is, of course, to stop spam bots; we're not so worried about legitimate editors doing whatever they need to do to post useful content. – Robin Hood (talk) 18:06, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
