As a side note, creating all these articles really does nothing to help the wiki at all. They contain no real useful information, and aren't even actually stubs. They'd most likely be deleted shortly on Wikipedia. I suggest not creating articles unless you plan on adding some sort of useful information on that particular topic. Even a sentance or two describing the basic function of the spells, in this case, would have sufficed. Otherwise, it's better to leave them as red links, and let someone who DOES want to write about them create the article. - Oliver ([[User:Anshou|User]] | [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]]) 07:28, 1 May 2006 (PDT) |

Check out [[Help:Style (spells)]] if you haven't yet. Also, in the articles you've recently edited, make sure the spell template inclusion is at the very top of the article, before any other text, else the article will not wrap around it properly.

Ranger Spells
Just to let you know, these articles belongs on the 'proper' spell pages which would be < spell_name (spell_number) >. For instance, the template and text of Foraging actually belongs on the Foraging (603) page, and the Foraging page should be a redirect. Its quite simple to correct this, just navigate to the Foraging page and click the 'move' tab at the top. Type in the destination page (proper page name) and it will move the contents over, and turn the original page into a redirect automatically.
Also, dont forget to include each article in its appropriate category ([[category:Ranger Base Spells]] in these cases).
Lastly, for articles which are unfinished its appropriate to include the {{stub}} template, which indicates it still needs work. You can also write a little sentence in the text box at the bottom of the edit page if you wish, it is displayed in parentheses on the recent changes and history pages (just so noone jumps in while you're in the middle). *SammichKing*..who?..wha? 15:59, 30 April 2006 (PDT)
- Yeah, I didn't realize they were actually the wrong pages. I was just copying/editing what I saw that was done on the 601 spell. Now that I look at it closer I notice that that one was actually a redirect, although the text to show it was in really small text. -Adam
- The wiki is a learning process. Glad to be of help, feel free to ask anytime! You can use ~~~~ to sign & timestamp your comments automatically. You can edit your sig in the preferences linked at the top of a logged in page. who is Ulthripe reads this 02:58, 1 May 2006 (PDT)
