Wiki Suggestion

[wildgoosespeeder]

I have been testing a table in my Wiki profile to be used in game discs that are compilations, such as Intellivision Lives!, Sonic Mega Collection, and Interactive Multi Game Demo Disc 2001-10, so the pages are more readable. Before I just go ahead and make edits, I would like to know if this is a good idea and if it is, will my current table example be good or does it need edits to make it look nicer?

Don't just make a bunch of mass edits! A new person making tons of edits is usually a spammer! Let's talk about it first, ok? Refine your idea as best as you can in a sandbox, and then spin it in Project:General Discussions. We'll probably have some suggestions to help improve it further.

And btw, the wiki has talk pages and things built right in, and the admins (Me, Kolano, Jhonn) are always available to answer any questions you may have right on the wiki!

That's what I did before you said that.

I was going to do that but I wasn't sure it would have enough exposure so I posted on the forum instead (I checked timestamps of who edited those Wiki pages you suggested I take a look at last). I'm just really excited to help so I kind of wanted to get a discussion started sooner.

Well... be patient. Wikis don't move very fast, by design - they are for high quality editing, and that requires some time to vet things. So relax, put up your suggestion, and we'll see, ok?

But anyway, conversation about this should be on the wiki, where we can talk about and show things properly. Please open a discussion in Project:General Discussions and let's get the ball rolling!

...most users in the forums that visits the wiki doesn't generally do any kind of "advanced" edits (especially when using templates and other somewhat-advanced stuff), so, although you'll probably get more exposure here it's very unlikely to get help with that kind of stuff, so, yeah, talk pages FTW

OK, I see "Open Discussions" and "Recent Discussions" in Project:General_Discussions. Where to post? I want to do this right.

Please post it to the very top of Open Discussions.
