User talk:Ben10508

Welcome!

Good morning/afternoon/evening (delete as applicable) fellow Wikipedian! I see that you are relatively new here so you might have some issues, concerns or questions about this grand base of TF2 knowledge. If so, please do not hesitate to contact me or anyone else on the Welcoming Comittee via their talk page!

On the Team Fortress 2 Wiki, we have a coordinated set of rules called the style guide which defines what we should and shouldn't do. Consider it a holy book for editors. Of course, if the style guide can't answer your question, we have a whole hub of help that could answer your question. One very strict rule is that observation/speculation is not allowed.

If you find that none of that answered your question, please do not hesitate to swing by the IRC and ask one of many editors, moderators, even administrators. One of us will have an answer for any of your Wiki editing needs. Besides that, it's an open community of like-minded players - a place to socialise and meet new TF friends - perhaps you could even drop in at the Official TF2 Wiki Server!

With such strict guidelines and speedy editors, you might be struggling to edit, replace or improve. However, we have just the remedy for this problem! Let me introduce the tasks list! It's just the place to go to find what you want to do - be it editing, improving standards, expanding stubs, heightening picture qualities, anything. Of course, if you feel that you're up to the challenge of patrolling edits, please head to the recent changes page where you can keep up-to-date with new edits and, thus, revert any vandals or nonsense edits/images.

And that will be all from me! However, should you wish to talk to an actual moderator, their names are in green and thus are easier to find. You can also contact them via the IRC on the channel #tfwikistaff.

Thank you for helping the Wiki to grow, and we hope to see great things from you! 13:56, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Image Cache

Hello. I ask you to please check the most recent version of an image in the cache before undoing it, as the cache may show a different version from the one that is actually stored in the server, and thus, it may seem like the wrong image is appearing, while it's not. More info about this can be seen on the MediaWiki box on any file's history. Thank you.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 08:11, 29 June 2012 (PDT)

Signature

I've noticed you manually creating your signature, and I'd like to point out that there is automatic functionality for this. As it helpfully says in red at the top of every page, Add ~~~~ to the end of your post to sign it. You can customize this output in your preferences, under the Signature divider on the main page.

Show preview

Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. —Moussekateer·talk 18:00, 3 July 2012 (PDT)
