Welcome!

Hello, Knightowl, and welcome to the Ouroboros Portal! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the forum. It will require a separate registration (login and password), but most users use the same username in both places. There's even an RSS Feed, if you're into that.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page or ask on the forums and someone will try to to answer your questions shortly.

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! -- Eabrace 17:27, 28 July 2009 (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:Knightowl Images and Category:UserKnightowl categories. The first is for images, and the second is for anything you'd like it to be for. :) -- Eabrace 17:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not certain how to direct uploaded images to the Category that you created, I have only a limited amount of experience in wikia environments. Thank you for the welcome and for your patience! Knightowl 17:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)knightowl

To place an image in your user image category, place "[[Category:Knightowl Images]]" (without the quotes) in the "Summary" field on the Upload File page. But don't worry if you forget to add the category when you upload. If you go back to the image after, you can click on the "Edit" tab and add the Category tag at any time. The same is true for anything you want to add to the UserKnightowl category. Placing the tag anywhere on a page will work, but it's generally best to keep all category tags at the bottom of a page.

Also, this is a "wiki". Anyone can host a wiki. That other term is a registered service mark of a particular for-profit entity that makes its money by hosting wikis and plastering ads all over the place - one that we parted ways with some time ago. But don't worry, that's a common mistake. :) --Eabrace 18:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Understood, and thank you again for your help. I am enjoying browsing around the site. -- Knightowl 18:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)knightowl
