User talk:Anguis Furor
Late Welcome!Edit
Hello Anguis Furor. Somehow, we've never made it to giving you the official welcome to the wiki. Sorry about that. Thanks for your contributions so far. It looks like you might know most of this, but just in case there's something useful, here's a version of 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)
