Welcome!

Hello, The Fish, and welcome to the Paragon Wiki! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the forum. If you need help, ask me on my talk page or ask on the forums and someone will try to to answer your questions shortly.

Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There are a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info templates, and what you want to add might already be there.

Again, welcome! -- Eabrace 08:47, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Signatures on talk pages only

Please only sign your posts on talk pages, not on main namespace pages. All the changes can be seen on history pages, which gives time, date and editor. SpaceNut 21:02, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Recent Edits

Thanks for all of your backstory information on various groups and characters from City's colorful history! However, please take care when you move or delete references, especially redirects. Create disambiguation pages instead of removing redirects. For example, the Torrent page you fiddled with (which I reverted the changes to):

• Torrent turns into a disambiguation page
  • Link to Torrent
  • Link to the villain that Luminary defeated (page name to link to would be "Torrent (Villain)")

Thanks! ~ AGGE talk/cons 03:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanx for tha advice mate. I'm kinda new to it all atm so am learning as I go.

The reason I tried to change that redirect was because Torrent is simply a power in a list of powers and isn't actually its full title. Where as Torrent the Villain is his full name.

Hope that makes sense as to why I attempted to change the redirect. Will leave redirects alone in future though :)

Everyone starts learning somewhere! :) No need to worry overmuch, that's what we're here for. If you have any questions, feel free to drop any of us a line. We're happy to help and answer questions.

"Torrent" is what we call the power - if people search for "torrent" instead of "dark blast", it should redirect to where it should be. If more than one thing or person is called "torrent", the page should be a disambiguation ({{disambig}}) to include links to all relevant things or people.

And as a last request, please don't blank pages. Instead, flag them with {{delete}} and give a reason why it should be deleted.

Thanks for all of your efforts! This is fantastic :) ~ AGGE talk/cons 19:00, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

ah ok. Thank you for the help and advice. :) --The Fish 21:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

RE: + Cat

I enter "+cat" in the summary for an edit as a shorthand way of saying "added category tag". In the case of the images you uploaded, that means that I added "[[Category: The Fish Images]]" in the image description. Adding a category tag allows us to group similar articles or images together. When an article or image has been added to a category, you can scroll all the way to the bottom to see the links to the categories it belongs to. Following the category links will show you everything that has been filed under those categories. --Eabrace 19:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Can I also ask what the -x and +x are for too pls? I was guessing it's you lot adding and minusing my posts but some posts which the wiki never had before are getting Minuses and things that I've only added paragraphs to are getting +'s in the 100's? :s
