User:Ivystripe/General and Advanced Help

Before we start, please look over the welcome message that you recieved on your talk page. This is my informal way of giving you advice on how to survive your first days on the Wiki, and a few more advanced things!

Getting Started
Before you do anything on the Wiki, it might be benifical to you, if you're new to Wiki editing, to test it out on your own userpage. Start off by telling us a little about yourself! You can do all kinds of things to your page, I'll discuss how to do those later. You don't have to use a Warriors template from this website for your picture, but you can if you want. Remember, you are only allowed one image on your profile.

After you have tried some things out on your userpage, then it's time to contribute! Look for little mistakes in an article. See something misspelled? Think you can word that sentence better? Then do it! If it's not right, nobody is going to chew your head off for a little mistake. I have found that the people here are very friendly. If you have questions, DON'T hesitate to ask! Loads of us are willing to help you out!

Remember when adding information to articles that if the information could be challened, don't forget to cite! Otherwise, somebody might put a by your information and may be deleted. Here's how you cite:

Projects
If you plan on sticking around, why don't you try joining one of the projects? We have projects for everybody, including Characters, Books, the Warriors World, and Character Art. The first three are aimed at improving the articles pertaining to the project they represent, and Project Charart is about creating original, high quality art that is not under copyright. You are not limited to joining one project, either, as I am a member of each of these. If you want to join, go to the talk page and ask if you can join, make sure to make a new section. The talk page should always be in the top right corner, in case you can't find it.

Other info

 * Coming soon. This page is a work in progress, please don't put the delete tag on this until I've finished it and you guys don't think it's good enough. It's going to contain a cluster of how-tos for new users.
