:We really should delete this page. Everyone who's gonna edit, '''needs''' to read '''[[KHWiki: Manual of Style|this]]''' -[[User:Azul81677|Azul]] 23:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

== Lock ==

This page needs to be locked, I think to only registered user level.  Most of the vandalism to this page has been from IP's and new, unautoconfirmed users.  {{The Inexistentsig}} 11:04, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

I can lock it.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 11:31, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

:Thanks! {{The Inexistentsig}} 11:35, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

No need to thank me. :) Just doin' my job!--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 11:38, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

== Linking to other wikis ==

|text=I'm working on my user page and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to link to pages on Bulbapedia and LBPCentral like interlinking to other wikias. It's usually like:
<nowiki>[[wikia:ratchet:Ratchet:_Deadlocked|'''<font color=brown>Ratchet: Deadlocked</font>''']]</nowiki> = [[wikia:ratchet:Ratchet:_Deadlocked|'''<font color=brown>Ratchet: Deadlocked</font>''']]
}}

You can see our interwiki link shortcuts [[Special:Interwiki|here]]. In this case, you would use <nowiki>[[wikia:c:ratchet:Ratchet: Deadlocked]]</nowiki>.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:52, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

== Update ==

Wanted to get permission to update this help page with one I drafted [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab/Project Page 1|here]]. I tried to make it as close to a help guide for people who have never written a wiki page before. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 02:23, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
:Looks good to me! :D I would, however, like to suggest that there should be a notice under the "Talk Pages" section that explicitly states that user talk pages belong to the community and are not the property of the user in order to prevent users removing messages from their talk pages. I would actually like to make a rough draft of an actual policy page for the wiki, detailing general rules, and other policies like the deletion policy, videos policy, and banning policy. I created a draft based on numerous standard rules I've seen on other wikis, but is mostly inspired by the Avatar Wiki's policies. But again, it's only a rough draft, so it's not complete and needs to be revised after thorough discussion between the community.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
::So, for some of your ideas, I had been through thinking of the same thing. I was thinking, though, of creating a User Account policy (user pages, user behavior, causes for bans, etc.), a media policy (images, audio, video; I already started a draft for this below my draft for the MOS), and rewriting our existing guides, like the beginner's guide, where we could talk about discussion in general and emphasize article talk pages, user talk pages, and forums, and the admin manual, where we could elaborate grounds and procedures for moving or deleting pages, among other things. I'll see what I can do to write these up as I was thinking and see what we all think. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 00:15, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
:::Originally, I was planning to create forum where I presented the ideas, but should we both just edit on your sandbox for the draft? I do agree that we should have a written and clearly defined User policy. All wikias have one, and for a long time, we just kind of operated the standard Terms of Use from Central Wikia/FANDOM Community. Oh, I also want to propose that merge some of our Help guide pages. I always find it silly to create separate pages for guides that could be easily placed in one article. For example, [[Help:Editing]] and [[Help:Writing]] can be merged into page.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 21:46, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
::::I agree on all counts. Especially the last one, because I still haven't figured out what that Writing page is supposed to be. Definitely go ahead and edit my sandbox drafts, if you wish. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 22:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::I'll probably do my draft separately. Our writing styles are bit different, and I'll feel like I'm intruding on your personal sandbox. ^_^; Once I present my draft, I'll stick to my original idea and create a forum, so the community can see it and contribute to the discussion. Or I'll post it on the talk page. I'm currently dealing with college, so I probably won't get it up anytime soon, unfortunately.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
