A couple things[edit]

Hello. I'd like to bring up a couple points:

  • First, I'd recommend not using your userpage as a gigantic advertisement. It could be interpreted as a violation of the spirit of SW:USER, which prohibits spam.
  • Second, if you're not uploading images for a specific page, don't upload them at all. SmashWiki is not an image-hosting service.
  • Finally, please make some contributions to the mainspace. You may be put on probation if you don't.

That's all. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 14:59, 19 June 2015 (EDT)

== Which page are you talking about? The only pages I made was one for my team and one for myself, we did not advertise anything other than we are a team. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? EdmontonGamers (talk) 15:06, 19 June 2015 (EDT)Edmonton Gamers

Your userpage is phrased in a way that advertises your page, which could very easily defy SW:USER, as Nyargle said. Most userpages are designed for basic information on the user (such as mine). I don't think it's a huge problem, but it should still be mentioned. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 15:08, 19 June 2015 (EDT)


=== Okay should I make a team Wiki, I've noticed when some players try to link "TEG" its often not tagged to anything and at times can give the impression that we don't exist. I am fairly new to Wiki and I am not sure how else to go about this.

Ah, I see. In that case, you can make a mainspace page (check the main page to do so). Still, while you're writing it, try to keep a neutral point of view and keep an encyclopedic tone. Try not to write it as advertisement or as PR, basically. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 15:16, 19 June 2015 (EDT)
(edit conflict) (If you're trying to add an indent, put a colon (:) before the paragraph, adding a colon for each indent. So one would look like this, then two would
be this, and three
like this.) You could make a page for them if you believe them to be notable enough. This isn't a specifically tournament-based Wiki (although it seems like several users would disagree) so we don't report on all Smashers. However, if you've done several tournaments and ranked high multiple times, go ahead and make a page. (I'm not sure about groups, but individual smashers should always have "Smasher:" before their name, putting them in the "Smasher" namespace rather than the normal mainspace.) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you.
