M2 Browning

Much as it's nice to meet a fellow modelmaker (and that's a nicely assembled Patton you have there), you should probably get a picture of a real gun rather than that Tamiya one. Evil Tim 07:10, 3 June 2011 (CDT)

Starting new articles

If you type any name into the search bar that isn't already an article, it should bring you to a screen saying "Create the page "(whatever you typed)" on this wiki!" Click the red link there and you can start editing. Or do you mean more generally (standards etc)? Evil Tim 10:27, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Just to explain a few standards: the format for pages is that the link to the gun page doesn't go in the heading, you have a brief sentence saying who uses the weapon or similar and the link goes in that. So rather than having a heading saying single action army (linked) you would say "The Single Action Army is used by (X)" or similar. Image captions for the actual gun pics can be copy-pasted from the relevant gun's article, though if they don't have it already you should always add the calibre. So for the SAA you'd go for "Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel known as the "Cavalry" model - .45 Long Colt" and suchlike. Check out Stealth which I'm currently working on for a proper layout, though note that you don't have to add the calibre after every image unless the page does that already.

When uploading images, add [[Category:Screenshot]] and a link to whichever page it belongs on. Cover art goes in [[Category:Poster and Cover Art]]. I've fixed it on your poster pic, but it'll take a while before it updates on the server.Evil Tim 14:12, 11 July 2011 (CDT)
