Redirection links

Redirection links are so the search function can direct users to the appropriate page in case they don't type in the right thing. Don't route things through redirects when the link on the page is already correct. Great Mara (talk) 21:58, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

Edits

Hey Breakin'Benny! Well, we really do appreciate you edits here at Nukapedia, we'd politely ask that you try to refrain from edits that solely remove/add useless things, such as spaces between asterisks on lists and blank returns in charts and the like. If you feel you're not quite sure what's a good edit then, may I suggest joining the New User Network as it aims to teach users the proper way to edit and helps you find articles to edit. Once again thanks for your time and keep up the editing! Yours Always; --The Old World Relics ^{(talk/blog/contributions)} 12:53, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

Howdy Benny. I've seen you removing the spaces after certain mediawiki markup characters and was kinda wondering why? For instance, I've seen you remove the space after a table cell pipe (|) on a table. Mediawiki strips out the space so removing it does not change the page display. Is there something you're seeing in your browser that I'm not? Almost all of out tables and list items have spaces after the markup character so it's easier to see in source, so I'm kinda wondering if there's something wrong you're seeing that's making you remove them. Get back to me, thanks. The Gunny

Ok. Well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't remove any of those extra spaces that mediawiki ignores. We are pretty consistent in our display of the source code, and I'd rather have all pages with spaces, than a bunch with and the ones you've edited without. Thanks in advance. The Gunny

Please leave the space between the asterisk (*) and the text. It doesn't make a difference and personally I prefer the space when I edit. Jspoel

Benny, I understand what you're saying, but there's 15,000+ articles and only one person who doesn't like the spaces. I hope you understand. The Gunny

Test Man

His name is Test Man in the G.E.C.K. please leave it as that and do not refer to him as "the test man" as that is improper. Thanks and happy editing.--Kingclyde (talk) 19:37, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization/Sections

Please refrain from capitalizing article names, they have all (for the most part) been extensively de-capped in accordance with proper encyclopedic conventions. Also, please make sure you have appropriate 'headings' on pages - things like 'trivia' are unacceptable; we use 'behind the scenes' and 'notes', depending. I can see there have been some issues with your past edits as well, so I'm going to suggest you take a look at our editing guidelines. By making these edits you are effectively ignoring our rules, and ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking them, hence the link prior. If you have any questions or need any assistance please feel free to message me on my talk page or via e-mail should you feel more comfortable. I feel like your contributions are in good faith, but I'm afraid continued edits or poor quality/violating rules may be grounds for disciplinary actions, such as blocking. I hope you take this advice and I look forward to working with you in the future. A Follower Talk 08:51, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

I understand that you are only trying to help, hence why I directed you to the above link. As one of the larger gaming wikis, we have different (often higher) standards for content than some of the other wikis, which can be a bit difficult to grasp for new users. We all learn from experience, but it's better to get you on the right track with the guidelines than for us to have to follow and fix preventable bad edits. I hope I didn't come off as angry with my prior message, I am anything but angry at your contributions - I'd just rather see you go down the correct path. Again, if you have any questions feel free to message me. Happy editing!

Fast Shot

Where exactly do you find AMDIDEX.FRM? Any chance you could take a screenshot to verify it? Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 00:41, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

So, just to be clear, you're adding info on the Fallout 1 demo to the Fallout: New Vegas section? Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 12:56, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Benny,

Just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to date, I've noticed your regular morning/early afternoon editing, and your contributions are very welcome ones. We need more like you. Agent c (talk) 12:03, May 6, 2014 (UTC)

Weapon sounds

I got those weapon sound files from Nexus mods. There is a zip file containing all sounds which I used. First I did the same thing you did, extracting master.dat, then the weapon sounds are in the SFX map. Weapon sounds start with W.. Except I can't figure out which code stands for which weapon. Do you know then? Jspoel 23:43, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

You can not revert someone that reverted your edit, that's edit warring which is against policy. You have to come to an agreement before any edit can be made now. Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 02:41, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know anything about sound files, so I have no input here. You will have to talk with Jspolestra about them. Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 19:04, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Looks like jokes on you, then, until you get to study a bit on game resources. --Breakin'Benny (talk) 08:47, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

== Russian Text

==

The Russian text at the bottom of pages is a link to the Russian Fallout wiki's version of that article, it's an interwiki link. When looking at the page view as opposed to the editing screen it shows up as "Languages:(whatever languages have an interwiki link to the article). Richie9999 (talk) 16:10, May 19, 2014 (UTC)
