Welcome

Hi, welcome to RollerCoaster Tycoon! Thanks for your edit to the Thrill rides page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Matt 20 1 (Talk) 03:17, June 13, 2010

Hi and welcome to the RCT Wiki! It's great to have you help out here, and if you need any help or have any questions, just ask.--Matt 20 1 14:48, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks alot

I'd like to thank you for working hard on this wiki. As you can probably tell, it's really quiet around here, and even I am guilty of not editing for long periods of time. The amount of work you've done is fantastic for the amount of time you've been here! I have granted you with admin rights to make it easier for you to continue to help. I also noticed you marked a page for deletion, and therefore have also awarded you with a security certificate (just our way of saying thanks). Please continue your hard work!--Matt 20 1 06:32, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Very good manual

Well I have to say, I'm impressed. Seems like the wiki is finally taking off seriously, thanks to your work on the manual. Keep up the good work regarding the styles and please tell me when I'm doing something out of line of your directives. Always good to be kept sharp on styles and making the wiki one. Anyway: good job and welcome to the wiki, albeit a bit late. Rgbk73 22:19, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

I do have a question actually, regarding styles. I've not been online a long time, but when looking on the RCT2 Scenario pages I created, the Category:RollerCoaster_Tycoon_2_Scenario, they seem to have changed. Specifically the tabel in the beginning isn't outlined to the right, but put before the contents. Furthermore, it seems the "List of Scenarios in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2" doesn't link to the list, but to the page of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 itself. The link to that page is actually present in the row above it, so double links doesn't seem necessary. Is this the result of changes or did I do something wrong?

Edit: thanks for the explanation, let's hope it can be corrected fast. As for the links creation to Category pages, I knew it was something easy as I did it before, but time passed by and I forgot. Once again I'm back to create some links :)

I've come across a problem I cannot solve, as I am unable to change the MediaWiki:Common.css page. I wanted to create hatnotes to show that a page could have different content than what people were looking for. Using the dablink template copied off of the Dablink template on Wikipedia, I tried to create the hattext. However, to recreate the whole template as it is on Wikipedia, I have to change the MediaWiki:Common.css page. How do people get access and if that doesn't work, who does have access? In the mean time I try to find a workaround on the Dablink page.

I saw you changed some of the MediaWiki:Common.css page, thanks for that. Seems like a very empty page when comparing to the Wikipedia version. Some of the styles you mentioned could be inserted into that page as you probably know. However, I don't know exactly how it works and from further reading I now know why only admins have rights to edit: you could screw up the entire wiki by inserting the wrong code and what's worse, it takes effect only after 31 days and any changes after that take 31 days extra to be corrected.

Furthermore, I changed the scenario template, both the part regarding the table (I've put it back the way it was) and adding your {{Sgreminder}} part. As shown on the talk page, any changes are welcome. If you agree to the new layout, I'll try to change as many pages as I can to change them conform with it. (not sure wheter that sentence is correct English though)
