- Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
- To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
- You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
- When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
- This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
- Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
- When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
- You can use the
button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.

Edit summaries
Hi there,
please note that words such as "realized" and "realised" are correct, one of them is just preferred in NA while the other is preferred in the rest of the world (same with "behaviour" and "behavior").
However, your edit summaries seem very passive aggressive and seem to imply that people at the wiki are incompetent for using non-NA English. There are no official rules/guidelines for edit summaries as far as I know, but it does make you come off as a very unfriendly person whenever you have such edit summaries. Sometimes, the edits aren't even correct (such as on the Bat page or the Holy Mackarel page, to name 2 most recent examples).
Also remember that publicity blurbs and patch notes are direct quotations. If the original source states it that way, it should be stated that way on every page.

Style Guide
Hello,
In the few of your edits I have reviewed, you seem to be well-versed in English grammar; but, I wish to point out a couple tips.
- As I am sure you must be aware, the general style of an encyclopedic wiki, is to be, well, encyclopedic, even if the fact that this is a game wiki tends to loosen the formality somewhat. Contractions are less formal and so are less encyclopedic. Even where editing to form contractions could be appropriate, the difference is so slight and "improvement" so non-existent that in this context such edits only serve as unnecessary distractions.
- Update history is to be direct copies of bullets of Valve's patch notes, warts and all. There is no help to the wiki to correct Valve's grammar. You are not the first to attempt correcting Valve's patch notes; so, if this rule is not presently covered in this wiki's Style Guide, perhaps it should be.
Kind regards,
