User blog:SunXia/Helping YOU Help Bleach Wiki

Hey guys, SunXia here again!! With the addition of Kamikaze onto our team he reminded me and other users here of a need for helping many new users understand how things are done here!!

Editing on a Wiki the size of Bleach Wiki can be daunting as there are so many pages with so much information at times potential Editors can feel like there is nothing left to contribute!!

You couldn't be more wrong if you think this!!

However, many users find it difficult to find somewhere to edit or contribute, not realizing that we have policies to ensure the continued flow of the Wiki!!

Thus, over the last few weeks, many of the team here have been writing helpful Blogs to help explain things and direct you guys where to go!! However all those blogs are all over the place so I'm going to gather everything you need to know here!!

Helpful Blogs

 * Images

'''[http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SunXia/Image_Policy_and_Understanding_it!! THIS BLOG]''' was written by myself, SunXia, to help people understand our Image Policy and how to upload images!!


 * Referencing Information

'''[http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SunXia/Referencing_Sources_and_the_Importance_of_this!! THIS BLOG]''' was also written by me for helping people to understand why it is not ok to just enter information into articles without providing PROOF and lets you know how to provide this!!


 * Speculation

THIS BLOG was created by Xilinoc to address the issue of adding speculation into articles and why information must come from stated things in the series and not from the opinions of readers, regardless of how logical it seems!!


 * Spoiler Information

THIS BLOG is another one written by Xilinoc to explain the rules regarding spoiler information!!


 * User Page Policy

THIS BLOG was written by Kamikaze, the member of the team who suggested we do this more, and this helps understand why User Pages are not the identifying marks you leave on this Wiki, it is your contributions and dedication!!


 * Edit Wars

THIS BLOG was written by Kamikaze and addresses one of the major offenses here at Bleach Wiki!! This is a User-based community with multiple opinions and edit warring is a large No-no, even for team members, it is better to DISCUSS something that has been changed that you don't agree with!! Edit Warring is not productive in the least and will not achieve the results you want, will only result in a ban!!


 * Chat

THIS BLOG addresses the the feature of Chat and rules surrounding it!! Chat continues to evolve on this site and where we discuss many things at a speedier pace to get things done that do not need a site-wide nod!!


 * Grammar Tips

THIS BLOG was written by Xilinoc to help you learn the type of Grammar we use here at Bleach Wiki and the level of Grammar the Wiki expects from its users!!

 * The Team

Projects
There was meant to be a specific Blog on this but not everything pans out as planned since, well things happen!! I will discuss with you these Projects which are basically there to help users see Where the site is in need of help as it groups critical articles together by identifying the areas that need work!!
