Redirects

edit

Also, if you want one article to redirect to another (as in the case of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, you can do it yourself, like so:

#redirect [[name of target article]].

No harm done; this is just so you know. DS 20:18, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Signing

edit

Oh, and here's another bit of info - after you leave a comment on someone's talk page, or on an article's talk page (but not for a contribution to an actual article), you should sign-and-datestamp your message. This is done by typing the tilde symbol, ~ , four times in a row, like so: ~~~~. DS 20:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Addition of Semi-Protection Template

edit

Hey, you recently added Template:Sprotected to the Tommy Morrison article. The problem is that the article was not, and is not, semi-protected. We're glad to have your constructive contributions to our encyclopedia, but we must discourage such inappropriate use of templates. If you think an article should be protected, see Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Thanks. Danthemankhan 02:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
