I see you made a ton of relatively minor saves. You might be interested in the "Show Preview" button, next to "Save page". It will show you what your changes will look like, but it won't spam the recent changes list with a whole bunch of piddly updates. Then when you have either been editing a while and want to protect against catastrophic puter failure, or when you are done with your changes, you can simply hit the "Save page" button. It's a handy feature of wikis that I wasn't aware of for several weeks after starting editing, so I know it's easy to miss! ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 08:27, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Aafs, and welcome to the Ouroboros Portal! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There are a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info templates, and what you want to add might already be there.

Again, welcome! — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 20:09, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Image Category

I saw you've uploaded some images, so in order for you to keep them together and easier to search for, I added the Category:Aafs Images and Category:UserAafs categories. The first is for images, and the second is for anything you'd like it to be for. Smilies smile.gifPill-37.png Talk · Cont 20:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

When you upload an image, please put [[Category:Aafs Images]] in the Subject box, that way it will be easier to keep track of your images. Smilies smile.gifPill-37.png Talk · Cont 20:24, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Deletion?

Did you want the now empty Time Leaper page deleted? — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 20:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah if you don't mind because I noticed I started that one wrong and didn't know how to fix it. Sorry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aafs (talkcontribs)
I will delete it for you. Also, there is a template you can add so that we know when you want a page deleted: {{delete}} — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 01:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Alignment

What alignment are the two characters you made pages for? Then they can be added to the proper Category, i.e. Category:Guardian Heroes. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 20:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

They are both vigilantes. Thank you sorry trying to figure it out. Thank you for working with me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aafs (talkcontribs)
Absolutely no problem! Also, while we are talking, you can add the Archetype category instead of the Category:Unknown Archetype as well! Oh, and please use 4 tildes to "sign" your comments on talk pages. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 01:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
If there is anything in particular you want a hand with, feel free to drop a line on my talk page. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 01:30, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Save VS Preview

I see you made a ton of relatively minor saves. You might be interested in the "Show Preview" button, next to "Save page". It will show you what your changes will look like, but it won't spam the recent changes list with a whole bunch of piddly updates. Then when you have either been editing a while and want to protect against catastrophic puter failure, or when you are done with your changes, you can simply hit the "Save page" button. It's a handy feature of wikis that I wasn't aware of for several weeks after starting editing, so I know it's easy to miss! ~ AGGE talk/cons 08:27, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

You may also be interested in the "Show changes" button. I know for me, it's handy if I've forgotten what all I've changed. It'll show a comparison between the article as saved in the database and the article as 'temporarily saved' (kind of 'in the cache') with all your updates. It's also a good way to proofread because it highlights all your changed/new bits. ~ AGGE talk/cons 08:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
