Now, that's obviously a nascent form, but if you don't have the necessary information, just writing something that basic will allow you to meet the criteria. I know I did message you before about leads, so it might seem like you can't win at this point, but don't now go back to making those errors: copying from Wikipedia, or using non-DWU information. I hope you can find a compromise.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 01:22, October 11, 2014 (UTC) | Now, that's obviously a nascent form, but if you don't have the necessary information, just writing something that basic will allow you to meet the criteria.

:Thanks. It did seem I couldn't win for losing on the leads, so I wasn't adding any. It's mostly an issue with the generic/disambiguation type pages I'm creating. I thought about adding something like you did, but that seemed insufficient. If that's all it takes, I can do that. I just don't want the pages deleted after all the work I put into them, just for the lack of a few words. Anyway, thanks for the constructive suggestions, muchly appreciated. Back to the grind! :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 01:44, October 11, 2014 (UTC) | :Thanks.

Hi! I realize you want to clean up the wanted pages, but you should just be focusing on the real world and in-universe pages. As for talk pages, forum pages, templates, etc that have redlinks, without knowing the purpose of the redlinks, you should not delete them. In addition, it is against [[Tardis:Vandalism policy|policy]] for non-admins to change the content other users' posts to talk pages and forum pages, so it's best not to give permission in this case that could lead other users to thinking it's ok to do so. | |||
For now, just focus on story info and cast/crew/production pages, and maybe start fully fleshing out some of the stubs you've created. I know your original question was for Skittles the Hog, but I've been meaning to address this with you for a little while now, and being an expert at procrastinating, I'm just now getting around to it ;) Thanks!

Revision as of 02:47, 16 November 2014
Leads
Please ensure that any articles you create adhere to Tardis:Leads, which stipulates that every page must have an introductory lead providing context for the article. For example, for your page Autumn, I simply added:
'''Autumn''' was a season.
Now, that's obviously a nascent form, but if you don't have the necessary information, just writing something that basic will allow you to meet the criteria. I know I did message you before about leads, so it might seem like you can't win at this point, but don't now go back to making those errors: copying from Wikipedia, or using non-DWU information. I hope you can find a compromise.--Skittles the hog - talk 01:22, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

Redlinks
Hi! I realize you want to clean up the wanted pages, but you should just be focusing on the real world and in-universe pages. As for talk pages, forum pages, templates, etc that have redlinks, without knowing the purpose of the redlinks, you should not delete them. In addition, it is against policy for non-admins to change the content other users' posts to talk pages and forum pages, so it's best not to give permission in this case that could lead other users to thinking it's ok to do so.
For now, just focus on story info and cast/crew/production pages, and maybe start fully fleshing out some of the stubs you've created. I know your original question was for Skittles the Hog, but I've been meaning to address this with you for a little while now, and being an expert at procrastinating, I'm just now getting around to it ;) Thanks!
