For long names, make the short one as a redirect to the formal one, which is what I have done somewhat :-).
Make the text of the redirect aticle:
#REDIRECT [[the name]]

See, You say that like its obvious or I should know what you are talking about, heh. Besides, a few of the formal names aren't really proper themselves. How does the redirect thing work? VestDan 16:40, 13 December 2005 (CST)
- When I said "always", I ment as a rule of thumb, that is how it is done at Wikipedia and Britanicia ect...I should have worded that better, but I was rushing to get the stubs out of the way, plus I have had a 5 hour headache that is getting worse by the minute.
- Anyway, are you a sysop yet? I know I haven't been promoted yet. If you are, you will see a "Delete" tab and a "Protect" tab. We might have to wait, as only admins can delete articles.Voice of All(MTG) 17:08, 13 December 2005 (CST)
So many stubs... make mine eyes bleed... Finished with Weatherlight saga characters, started with Mirari saga and decided to call it a night. VestDan 01:51, 14 December 2005 (CST)
Categories
I noticed that you fixed to incorrect categories. I am cut and pasting these in, and sometimes I leave in a wrong category. Please correct them on site, you need not explain yourself.
I wonder when that Logo will be fixed...:-(.Voice of AllTalk 15:22, 14 December 2005 (CST)
- I am saying that you don't have to explain, not that you do. That is because it is tedious, as you said.Voice of AllTalk 15:42, 14 December 2005 (CST)
Template
Try writing {{c|CARD'S NAME}} for a few cards you know, and then clicking it, like . I think I like the purple, as opposed to regular blue links. Press cntrol-f5 first, to refresh the mediawiki JS in your browser. Make sure you are not blocking popups.Voice of AllTalk 16:43, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

- In response to your question to The Squirle Master, a ret-con is when something considered fact in a work of fiction has been retroactively changed by a later addition to the series. For example, if Batman were to be killed, and there was a big funeral for him, then six months down the line he returns, the events of the night he 'died' will have been ret-conned to show how he didn't really die.

I already told him that in a PM ages ago, but thanks nonetheless ;) The Squirle master
