Hello: new to both EO and this wiki, though I have 16 years in admin-ing wikis, including as senior admin on another sci-fi franchise's primary wiki. (No worries: not asking for privileges.) One of the greatest attributes of wikis is the internal linking. Before I proceed too far in doing so here, I wanted to be certain that adding wlinks in great numbers to an article that I deem lacking is not violating any policies (written or otherwise), such as I did in the lede [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=Stormbringer&oldid=186212 here]. I appreciate the feedback. --[[User:Kansala Paquin|Kansala Paquin]] ([[User talk:Kansala Paquin|talk]]) 02:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

: Hello back, and welcome. This question is more for [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]], the current [[Wiki Department|Wiki Manager]], I will pull her attention to this convo.. Have you seen this [[UniWiki:Welcome]] and are you aware of the #wiki channel on the Uni [[Discord]]? That said: The page you specifically asked about is a [[:Category:Ship Database|Ship Database]] article and the part you edited here is a direct "copy" from the text in-game. In <em>my</em> opinion that part of the information should be left as-is. I also avoid creating red links to articles that, I feel will never be written, but that is my personal style. --[[User:Evon R&#39;al|Evon R&#39;al]] ([[User talk:Evon R&#39;al|talk]]) 10:30, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Conversation over 2 talk pages

Hey--I just wanted to say thank you for following my passages through the wiki and catching links, details, formatting errors, typos &c. Please do let me know on my talk page if you ever realise I have a particular bad habit, or if there's something about formatting that I'm persistently failing to grasp, or if you just want me to calm down and consult with you before editing pages, or anything like that--I want to contribute, but I know I'm not a very experienced editor! Uryence (talk) 15:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

My response
Thank you! That's very kind of you. I'll have a read of the articles on how to edit--they sound like just what I need. Uryence (talk) 17:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Wikilink overload?

Hello back, and welcome. This question is more for Arin Mara, the current Wiki Manager, I will pull her attention to this convo.. Have you seen this UniWiki:Welcome and are you aware of the #wiki channel on the Uni Discord? That said: The page you specifically asked about is a Ship Database article and the part you edited here is a direct "copy" from the text in-game. In my opinion that part of the information should be left as-is. I also avoid creating red links to articles that, I feel will never be written, but that is my personal style. --Evon R'al (talk) 10:30, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
