Re: Hi
Welcome to WWiki! I see you're new, and you're already making some excellent edits. You don't have to wait until the fifth arc is out in order to check descriptions and characters, though. You're more than welcome to do that now, if you please.

Since you /are/ new, may I suggest joining a Project? We have ones that revolve around each aspect of the Warriors series, including the characters, books, locations, animals, real-life aspects, and even the art. We'd be glad to have you as a member in them, so don't be shy! I also suggest reading the polices of the wiki, and if you've got questions, don't hesitate to ask myself or any of the other users.

Welcome again, and happy editing!

=)
Welcome to the wiki, Songheart! Stormy I'm messing with you ♥ 21:43, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hi! Welcome to the wiki! The staff is really glad that you're already making great edits. Maybe soon you can join one of the wiki's projects? And also try reading the wiki's policies, such as the NOT Policy and the Signature Policy. (And, by the way, could I make you a signature, if you'd like?) And before entering the chatroom for the first time (if you haven't already) read the chat rules; chat moderators honestly do not enjoy the prospect of banning people. Hope you have a great time editing and learning the ropes. If you have any questions about anything, you can ask me or one of the other users (If I were you, maybe an administrator or another member of the staff.) If you want to contact me in response to this or ask a question or two (I almost forgot), leave a message on this page here or you can click the "Talk" part of my signature to reach that same page. Happy editing,

Cool! And yes, it does usually take a bit to think about what you want for your siggie. :) And, you're welcome.

Re: Quick Question
Hi, Songheart! There are two ways you can use citations and references. The first way is to just use the reference tags  which allows you to insert specific references like links outside of the wiki. You just need to insert the reference, link, or so on in between the reference tags so it looks like this:    

Which will achieve this:

No matter what, the first part of the template, the , will never change. You must always put that there to make the reference work. The second part, the  is the book. "os" stands for "Original Series" and the "1" represents the first book of the original series/arc. In this case, the citation currently tells us that the reference is found in Into the Wild, the first book of the Original series/arc. The last part to the citation is the page number,. So now, the reference tells us that the information was revealed in Into the Wild, page 23.

So, that citation:  will give us:

If you're unsure about the abbreviations for the book, you can always check here or for the facebook citations, you can figure it out here, but please make sure not to edit it or add any abbreviations until you're extremely comfortable with the system.

Also, for the parameter bars, or the , on general QWERTY keyboard, the button can be located right underneath the backspace button, or above the enter/return button.

The different reference listings, the  and the   if you're looking at this message in source mode is purely just for demonstration purposes. You should always use the reflist template. =) 16:10, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
Well, the cites you used were from The Sun Trail, which doesn't actually state their genders, nor do we know which cat is which, and that's why I reverted them. That would be false information, had you not presented the information from Thunder Rising to me as well. Until November 5th on the wiki clock, everything presented in Thunder Rising and The Ultimate Guide does in fact count as a spoiler, thus not permitted to be added to the wiki. I do appreciate you coming to me in a calm manner about this, and presenting your information how you did. Until the book's officially released, they'll need to stay genderless and descriptionless, though. Thanks for asking! We need more people like you who ask why their edits are changed instead of just getting snippy. x.x

Re:
Yup, I know about that. I've used it before. =P However, when I'd reverted it, I actually didn't catch what I'd accidentally removed. I mean, you're more than welcome to add it back in, as I see that you did. Sometimes I just revert the edits to get rid of multiple changes at once, and don't pay attention to everything else I'm doing. xD

re
sorry man i dont even know how to add them in as redirects or whatever the other characters are done as 00:44, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Beetlekit and the others
Hi, Songheart! I noticed your message on Trollsky's talk page, and I'll take care of the categories for you. It's pretty simple, actually. Beetlekit's page is here, and it would be about the same for his siblings.

Trunktail
They never uploaded anything- they just used one of the userboxes that has One-eye's warrior image in it. That's perfectly acceptable, though, and many other users, myself included, do the same thing. I do thank you for trying to enforce the rules, and trying to edit; it's nice to see such proactive behavior in a newer user.

Re:
That's still an assumption, and if it's not directly stated, then we can't add it to the article. If it's implied, it's implied, but it must be stated directly for it to be added to the article.

Editing rights
Just a head's up, yeah, you can make whatever kinds of edits you please, to an extent, but if someone disagrees with those edits, which David had, we can revert them. So, just as a reminder, what you and he did counts as edit warring, which isn't allowed on the wiki. I'll go and talk to him later, but for now, my main concern is you. Just let it go, and move onto something else. There are still tons of characters that need their Ultimate Guide section written out- why not help with that instead?

I should also let you know about Lionheart- he's a cited tabby and that's why the solid colored statement is in the trivia- I actually found that myself. He's depicted without stripes in that manga, despite his usual description calling him a tabby. So that one is legit. I have yet to see what else went on, but sometimes you just gotta learn that sometimes the page was fine before you made the edit- that also doesn't mean readd it back in once someone leaves, because that's just plain rude.

We're very protective of some of the things we've done here- myself included. A lot of people have taken loads of time writing these articles to the best extent, so if someone reverts an edit, don't get offended and just move on. Passive aggressiveness and edit warring isn't the way to go. [http://warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Goldenflower?diff=prev&oldid=885734 And you're wrong. I still care. The Erins use us as a database for them. I will always care. You're dead wrong when you think people don't care.] Just because people don't edit doesn't mean they don't care about the wiki. Trust me, I've been here almost half a decade now. We do care.

Re: Cinderheart's brothers
If you go on HarperCollins and go to the browse inside for The Ultimate Guide and type in Poppyfrost, Honeyfern, and Molepaw, it does not find them anywhere in the book. It searches the entire thing, even though you can't read the entire book in the browse. I tried it, and the search found nothing on those three cats. Could you maybe give me a cite as to where you saw these cats in the book? Sunpath (talk) 02:10, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I looked over the sentence that mentions it: "Cinderheart became a warrior apprentice alongside her brothers..." But since it doesn't tell their names, should we really put it? Sunpath (talk) 02:18, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Okay. I'll add the categories back on. Thank you for clearing this up. Sunpath (talk) 02:42, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Re:
Thanks for bringing that to my attention- unfortunately, there isn't much of anything I can do about it, mainly due to how the Wikia copyright license is. Basically, if you upload it to Wikia, it can be used elsewhere, which is why we can't enforce the "take down our chararts" rule- although we can camly ask them to remove the image. Some wikis do have rules to prevent its members from uploading our images, but alas, there wouldn't be anything we can do.

Spiderleg
Just a head's up, I reverted your edits to Spiderleg, as there really wasn't anything wrong with how the trivia was (the order doesn't mean much of anything, and the extra example wasn't necessary), and the "muzzle flecked with gray" wasn't a mistake. That's not the same as, say, Tigerstar having a black muzzle- as last I knew, a cat's muzzle does go gray as they get older.

Re:
I actually didn't see the point of the trivia statement, since it didn't really make sense. Ravenpaw happened to tell Jumper and Hoot about where to find herbs, and one of them just so happened to help hide the scent of deceased cats. If there was more to the trivia, you didn't add it. He probably just wanted to tell the two cats about specific herbs- now, had there been an error, like Ravenpaw saying mint is to help nursing queens, or cleansing wounds, then you could probably add it as a mistake, but I'm not sure what the point your trivia was trying to make.

Mothflight's Vision
Please do not rename/move pages without evidence. We're using Mothflight's Vision instead of Moth Flight's Vision since the former was used first. Unless you have updated proof (not from the trivia), it's going to have to stay as-is. I have reverted your edits and renamed the page back to what it previously was.

I should also tell you that mottles and flecks are different enough to warrant a trivia statement, and Ferncloud was not in the dark. On page 52 of The Sight, she is called a "dark gray cat" and says nothing about being in shadows.

Well, I think for now, we should still keep the first title we have, unless she continues to use Moth Flight instead of Mothflight. Or even better yet, take the discussion to Project:Books, instead of just changing the page name, which isn't the right thing to do without permission. As for Ferncloud, let me quote you from page 52 of The Sight:
 * [Lionkit] peered through the shadows to where Daisy slept. Her long, creamy fur blended into Ferncloud’s dark gray pelt. Ferncloud’s whiskers were twitching as she dreamed, her two kits snuggled against her flank.

She is called dark gray. It doesn't matter if there were shadows or not- the dark gray description contradicts her pale gray description. They weren't talking about the shadows- they made a mistake and accidentally called her dark gray. It completely goes against what her description is. As for Firestar in Dawn, which states this:
 * Firestar padded over, his fiery coat glowing almost white in the watery light.

it is not the same thing as Ferncloud being called dark gray. Nor is Half Moon's white pelt being called silver because of moonlight. Half Moon's pelt was still called white, and Firestar's was said to be fiery. Ferncloud was just flat out called dark gray. We've had instances like this before, and their original pelt color is more than usually said near it. It's a mistake, and it stays.

Hello! I'm from Russian Cats-Warriors Wiki. Our admin want to make a family tree (template). Can you help me, please? Who is the main member here? I want to ask him (her) about that template.

I'm sorry. Sometimes I add the descriptions based on the charart, but this time I wasn't paying attention. Sorry. I'll just edit other things. Spottehwobble!
