Retake Steeleye Span[edit]

Hi Leki and welcome to the wiki. I saw what you did when recreating this page and wanted to thank you for your effort. It really is appreciated! I also wanted to give you some feedback.

The first is that it is against wiki policy's to link to pictures on external websites. You can upload images directly to the wiki. this page would tell you more bout that.

The second bit of feedback is that you used a hyperlink to link to another page on the wiki. This is also against policy. The best way is to type '[[title of the page you want to link to]]' Copy/pasting the page title helps a lot in preventing In your situation, the code would be '[[Protect Tribune Steelgrip]]'.

The last advice is to place a small bit of code under a page if you are not sure that the page is in it's final version or if your not sure you did it the right way. This code is {{stub}}. This will place a text under the page that it isn't complete yet and also list it in List of articles needing expansion.

Again thanks for your contributions. I hope this helps in improving your future edits.195.240.63.18 15:15, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Please note that this wiki does not have "policies" that must be followed without question; we have practices and processes that should be followed in most cases but are flexible enough to adapt to different situations.
  • Using a URL to link to another wiki page isn't against policy, it's simply bad practice. Wikilink syntax is simpler, easier to read when editing a page, and allows the wiki software to track which pages link to each other.
  • Linking to an external site, whether it's an image or some other content, is acceptable — any external links should be identified as such in an "External links" section. Obviously it is preferred that images be uploaded to the wiki to protect against the external resource being deleted.
