Hi! I noticed that you're working on [[UniWiki:Magic14]], and you seem to have created a lot of redirects. Also, there was already a page about the "Magic 14" skills on the wiki ([[The Magic 14]]). I was wondering if I could help you? What were you trying to do? Cheers, [[User:Noemie_belacqua|Noemie]] [[User_talk:Noemie_belacqua|Belacqua]] 13:42, 1 December 2016 (CST)

Hi! I noticed that you're working on UniWiki:Magic14<sup>Deleted</sup>, and you seem to have created a lot of [[Special:WhatLinksHere/UniWiki:Magic14|somewhat strange redirects]]. Also, there was already a page about the "Magic 14" skills on the wiki ([[The Magic 14]]). I was wondering if I could help you? What were you trying to do?

:Yeah, I didn't see that [[The Magic 14]] was a page when I started working on it. How do I delete the pages I created on 1/12/2016?

::Don't sweat it :) This nice thing about the Wiki is that there is (almost) no way to "break" anything permanently.

::Only wiki admins can permanently delete pages; to mark a a page for them to delete, add {{tl|deletion|<reason>}} to the top of the page, and they'll get around to deleting it. Alternatively, you can just create a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Redirect redirect] to the page that contains the information you were intending to present (by putting in <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[<Name of page>]]</nowiki></code> at the top of a page) - it could be a good solution, for instance, to redirect UniWiki:Magic14 to [[The Magic 14]].

:::I think I marked them all for deletion. Thanks! However, for my future reference, how do I create a page under my own username (to create a rough-draft) and then later move it to the main wiki (when it is complete)?

::::You can use your user page ([[User:Paragot bezier]]) for whatever you'd like (as you can see from the mess that is [[User:Noemie_belacqua|my user page]]) - biography, notes, drafts, personal reference, etc. You can also create as many sub-pages "under" your user page as you like (e.g. [[User:Paragot bezier/Draft1]] (or replace "Draft1" with whatever you want to call it)) - just type <code>http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/User:Paragot_bezier/Draft1</code> into your browser's address bar and click the "Create" button. Here are [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Noemie+belacqua&namespace=2 all the sub-pages] that I created over the years, which I use for notes on various projects - but you can of course use them as you like. Once you're happy with your draft, you can:

::::* Move it into the "main" wiki through the "move" command (in the drop-down menu next to "View"/"Edit"/"History"), making sure to select "(Main)" when deciding on a new page name, or

::::* If the page already exists and you're writing a completely new version, copy-and-paste the wiki-code from your draft into the existing page.

::::Keep in mind that it's not necessary for a page to be "perfect" before going into the "main" wiki :) It's perfectly OK to write an initial outline, and fill it out later (with help from others - the idea is that we all collaborate to make the pages better). – [[User:Noemie_belacqua|Noemie]] [[User_talk:Noemie_belacqua|Belacqua]] 05:23, 2 December 2016 (CST)

::::::Awesome! Thanks for all the great information and help.
