Be less aggressive towards newcomers

Do not be so aggressive towards newcomers like that, Marioisawesome118 has only been here for six days, with only seven edits to their userpage. Welcoming the user and recommending to contribute elsewhere to the Wiki, like the mainspace, would of been sufficient. Suggesting a protection of their userpage is far too soon (I reserve this for users who have been around for at least a month, while showing little to no effort towards contributing elsewhere, or for those who won't stop editing their userspace).

Also, when warning someone about something, explain what it is they are doing wrong, and why the Wiki doesn't allow it. Simply saying "Don't do X/Do X" doesn't help a new user much, and the lack of explanation can make them see the Wiki in a negative light. Omega Tyrant   06:53, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Youtube

Links look like this: [http:youtube url here(space)whatever text will link to it here] to make the video show up on the page, use the <youtube>youtube markup</youtube> around the url. Hope I'm not too late in explaining! 25T16File:HitboxEffect(Flame).pngIt’s a me! 21:42, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Thank you, but it still isn't working. What did I do wrong? Blindcolours Killin' it since 1999. 21:46, 18 September 2011 (EDT)
There it is! BTW: you can also use the center tags <center></center> to center the video screen, just for effect. 25T16File:HitboxEffect(Flame).pngIt’s a me! 21:51, 18 September 2011 (EDT)
Alrighty. Blindcolours Killin' it since 1999. 21:53, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Edit summaries

Be more constructive with them, and actually explain what is wrong with the edit you're reverting.

This, this, and this, are all unacceptable edit summaries that don't tell those you're reverting what is wrong with their edit. Omega Tyrant   23:16, 20 September 2011 (EDT)
