 Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Help talk:Common Mistakes for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |
This is a list of common mistakes that users make when creating a page. I will continue to add more things as I think of them. Feel free to add your own entries.
CHECK YOUR EDITS!!
This cannot be said enough. Whether you are a first time user just learning wiki-code or an experienced veteran typos happen! Before you click "save page", ALWAYS click "show preview". If it looks okay then save it. If it doesn't show up correctly fix it.
Read up on Wikicode
If you are a beginner, familiarize yourself with wikicode. It is pretty easy to learn (particularly if you know HTML/CSS). If you don't know how to do something, ask around!
Creating tables
- Blank entries in a table DO NOT get a period a dash or any other mark. If there is no note or no actor, simply leave the cell blank.
When you create a table such as:
| Title | Actor | Character | Note | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Bourne Legacy | Jeremy Renner | Aaron Cross | 2012 | |
| Killer Elite | Jason Statham | Danny Bryce | 2011 |
You MUST remember to close the Table. Note the difference:
WRONG:
... |- | ''[[The Bourne Legacy]]'' || [[Jeremy Renner]] || Aaron Cross || || 2012 |- | ''[[Killer Elite (2011)|Killer Elite]]'' || [[Jason Statham]] || Danny Bryce || || 2011 |-
CORRECT:
... |- | ''[[The Bourne Legacy]]'' || [[Jeremy Renner]] || Aaron Cross || || 2012 |- | ''[[Killer Elite (2011)|Killer Elite]]'' || [[Jason Statham]] || Danny Bryce || || 2011 |- |}
Splitting into categories
When you create a page for a Film/TV Show/Video Game, if there are more than 7 weapons, you must categorize the weapons. (Handguns, Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles, etc.) One exception to this rule is with video games. Instead of "Handguns", "Submachine Guns", etc. You may categorize them as the game does (Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon, Launchers, etc.). The point is there must be organization!
Titles
Film, television series and video game titles are to be italicized, episode titles should be in quotations.
