User talk:TAlim 1994

RE: Greetings and offer of assistance
Hey, TAlim 1994!

Thanks for messaging me, and welcome to the wiki. As you said, the wiki is pretty quiet right now (and will likely only pick up again if something like the announcement of Left 4 Dead 3 happens). There's no formal style guide here, so feel free to get going with grammar edits and whatnot, I'll be poking my head in every now and then and if for any reason you do something that doesn't seem right, I'll correct it and do my best to let you know why I did so.

There's a few things I can point you to such as Walkthrough layouts which basically spell out the headings that are required on most level articles. Don't worry about the Custom Campaigns' breakthroughs though, because they're on the chopping block - we're considering removing the custom campaigns all together. If for any reason you object to that, head on over to the talk page and voice your opinion.

There's also stuff like the About page, which has a few tips to do with editing, such as using acronyms and abbreviations and stuff, but otherwise not all that much to check out.

If you have more specific questions about grammar or style (or questions about anything else!), please ask away and I'll do my best to answer. Generally, if you follow the style of most articles on the wiki (and do basic things like avoiding using 'you' and 'I') you'll be editing perfectly well.

Anyway, welcome to the wiki! -- Five Dog  Talk |undefined 15:30, March 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, generally those kind of pronouns have no place in mainspace articles. Things like "You can jump up the crates to get an ammo stash" should be something along the lines of "There's an ammo stash at the top of the crates, which can be reached by jumping" or substitute in "players" for "you". -- Five Dog   Talk |undefined 17:05, March 2, 2017 (UTC)


 * That's all absolutely fine, as long as you do these things:


 * Firstly, rather than creating mainspace templates, such as Template:Survivalstrategy for example, please use personal templates. For example, I have a personal 'template' of sorts, which is User:Five Dog/Test, just create your page as a username space page like that, with a forward slash and then whatever you want to call it, i.e. User:TAlim 1994/Talk_Template.  Then they can be used just like regular templates by typing


 * And secondly, please make sure when you upload your images you categorize them under the Category:User Images. Otherwise, that's all fine. -- Five Dog   Talk |undefined 11:29, March 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * By the way, one other thing I'd like to add is if you could try to limit repeating edits on a single page, that'd be great. I notice you've consistently edited my talk page three times when you add one message - please try and keep changes to one edit.  Obviously, sometimes you miss something and need to go back and correct it, but do your best to review it using the preview function before publishing it to make sure you're happy with it.  Thanks! -- Five Dog   Talk |undefined 14:07, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
