User talk:MajesticMystic

Nice to have you on board. As a note, you can sign your name with the signature feature like this and if you want to add the date, just sign like this ~. It is general convention to add a -- before your name.

Now, I will display the general welcome template. :-p

Come introduce yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask there or contact me personally.

 * Oh, and in "forums", to reply to a post, put a : in front of your text. Anyway, I've tried to get more people onboard, but no one seems to want to help. GFAQs people just want to vandalize :-/ Sleepywood people would rather create their own guides. But I'll get what i want eventually :) When the guide is big enough, people will start joining in.


 * There has been some controversy on Game Guides on Wikibooks; however, they have seemed to revolve around the idea that Game Guides generally look like **** on Wikibooks. Look at the Starcraft Wikibook for example. Anyway, I'd like to help clean up the Maple Guide a bit, and if you don't want to, that is fine as well :) Other little things that may help... you can program new code into Wikibooks through "templates". I've programmed a few in myself, so go on and use them. If you can't figure out how to use them, all you gotta do is put a


 * I hope you help out more often as well :) Takes a bit of load off of me, and I'm sure it makes the guide better --Dragontamer 02:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I found an edit on your mage guide dealing with your name... I'm not sure if this was by You or not, so I reverted it. Change it back with while logged in if you want to, and I'll stop reverting it.


 * Aight, cool. Remember, anyone can edit what you put up on a wiki, so some people like to screw up names and stuff. I try to keep an eye out for that kind of stuff... but it is hard to tell if it was you or someone else who wanted to screw up your name.


 * As for templates... they are kinda complex to make and use... A tutorial on one is here, in the  Editing guide. The basics are simple though... As you can see on this page, there is the  template (click the edit bar). Templates can get "parameters" to change some of their text, so realy each template is used differently. The templates I've been making are listed on the MapleStory talk page, and I've been trying to document them... still kinda hard to use/explain. --Dragontamer 12:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Brace for impact on MapleStory guide
I'm going to Sleepywood to ask for help on the guide... but just as an FYI, generally 1 or 2 malicious people will come in and try to demolish the guide (if from GFAQS, about 5 of them will come :-/ ). If I'm not on for whatever reason, just know that you can go back to an old "file" in ~4 clicks.
 * 1) Click on the "history" on the top of the screen
 * 2) click on the date of the last good edit
 * 3) click on the edit button
 * 4) Click save page

This will save an old version as the "main" page, and thus, undoing whatever the other guys have done. You can go back on *any* history file. Every edit is saved as an edit, and can be undone in this way. (much much easier than combing through the article again). By clicking "last" and "current", you can see the differences between the last version, and the current version. Pretty easy stuff, but I can see where someone could get confused.

Just know, whatever they do with mouse actions and so forth, you (or anyone) can undo in 4 clicks of a button :) (plus the possibility of being banned from editing, more on that later) Admins, can do it in 1 click, and User:Derbeth generally gets the obvious vandalisms in an instant (they got a little program that scans all edits).

Of course, only do that when it is obviously a vandal. If they are posting misinformation (aka, they are n00bs who think too much of themselves) then move it into an FAQ section or something. (Like what I've done in the Bowmen Anti-Builds section. ) If you aren't sure, post it up and the admin will talk to you. They are generally nice about those kinds of things :)

In the case of trying to find who the vandal is, just click on the "last" on the history file. You will see what he edited.

If it is too much, you can ask for Admins to ban a specific IP address or username on the Vandalism in Progress page.

Also, the admins have an idea of Assume_good_faith. Basically, use common sense here. Dont ask someone to be banned because they are doing a newbie test (usually they are in the form of "omfg, are you sure i can edit here?"). But if they do it more than a few times... go ahead and ask them :) --Dragontamer 13:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Origonal Research
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Maple_Story/ThiefGuide#Endure_or_Booster.3F

Hmm, is this your own opinion or is this agreed by most Sins? Sleepywood guys don't seem to agree that high Endure is better than high Booster. Then again, I'm not a thief so blah.


 * Well, I went ahead and tried to make Booster sound better, but still, look it over... I really dont know what I'm talking bout here anyway :) --Dragontamer 04:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Put your name as an author in Maple Story
MapleStory/Authors

I hope you don't mind :) Of course, if you do, you can always remove it. --Dragontamer 06:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Graphics
I didn't do the bowman graphics, though I am alright at doing graphics IMO. (enough to understand what looks good) :-) Yeah, I'll do them, my email is prtiglao@gmail.com. Tell me when you send them. --Dragontamer 21:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
