Oh, I hope this is the right spot to ask this question. When using a boilerplate as a basis for article information, is it best to delete all the sections that you don't use, or comment them out so that someone else can add info there if needed? Hrm.. asked that way, I think I just answered myself. I'm just not sure how concerned we are in general with page file sizes and things like that. Also, is there a completed guide someplace for help on procedures for editing things correctly? Or someplace to ask newbie questions? I've been fumbling around a bit, and it seems like the help files are kind of all over the place...and half of them are stubs. :)

Gilly DH 12:37, 28 May 2006 (EDT) If you just don't know what the information should be then just leave it blanks (i.e. level of something). If you know a certain field doesn't apply to the article then delete it, (i.e the DPS of armor..) and if there may or may not be information then you can delete it or comment it out. I don't think page size as far as KBs is as much of a concern as page size in the terms of a really long article no one wants to read or edit. As far as getting help it can sorta be a pain to figure out where to ask where someone will actually see it. Help:Editing will be your best choice for finding up to date, wowWiki specific, editing information. If you have questions about a certain article you should ask on that articles talk page. If you just have a question that you want to be sure someone sees and answers you can ask on my talk page and I will answer it the best I can as will almost anyone who is active here. :)--Ralthor 23:48, 28 May 2006 (EDT) has useful info, as has WoWWiki:Community Portal. But, yeah, a lot is stubs :-( - I'm actually working on trying to improve the situation right now (and have been for the past week or so). Feel free to contribute ;) But, yeah, here's definitely a good place to ask questions, and Ralthor's pointer is the reference for how wiki markup actually works. --Mikk 04:30, 29 May 2006 (EDT) Thankee much, gentlefolk. I've already been using Help:Editing heavily and now I've bookmarked Category:Help too. I had been starting on the Community Portal page, but got frustrated when articles that seemed to have the exact info I wanted were stubs. And I can't contribute to something I don't know about. ;) However, I don't have a problem with the code. More like: What categories should I use for this widget? (don't want to contribute to the problem of incorrect categorization). And something else, but I forget what it was now. Anyway, I'll ask the category questions on the article talk pages. Thanks again. Gilly DH 09:17, 29 May 2006 (EDT) You're in a pretty unique situation right now, though. * You're new to editing WoWWiki * You care about your pages; categorization, editability, etc.. * You communicate :-) If you were to do something simple like keeping a tally of problems you run into, it could help immensely. For people long used to WoWWiki, it's hard to guess where the problem areas lie - they know everything too well already. (Well, ok, blank stubs = bad. But the problem is what should actually go in them :-)) --Mikk 10:50, 29 May 2006 (EDT) Heh, you could probably say I'm in the same position. Btw, it's a very good idea to check where the main page links actually go - I flagged up the problem with the Quests link earlier - it doesn't really go anywhere of interest :-O Mikk, you're doing a great job btw! -- Kirkburn 10:58, 29 May 2006 (EDT)
