Gtk-dialog-info.svg Welcome to Wikispecies, Infoglutton!

We like having new people contributing to Wikispecies. Here are a few things that may be interesting:

  • If you haven't done so, we strongly recommend you to create an account. Creating account is quick and free, plus it provides you more features such as preferences and the ability to keep a watchlist to track changes made to articles that interest you.
  • Have a look at Done and to do.
  • Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
  • Templates are there to help you following syntax and formatting rules.

Please ask further questions in the Village Pump.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at the Wikimedia Commons.

We hope you'll enjoy the time you spend on Wikispecies!

[edit] References before Vernacular Names

The help pages certainly can guide you through some of the basics. And don't worry about User:OhanaUnited/Usurp notice. It's just a notepad for me to transclude items very quickly to many users at the same time. No harm done!

Over the years, we have shifted and changed the page formatting. The current and most up-to-date is having references before vernacular names (see Animalia as an example). Now, there are still plenty of pages that remained in old formatting and one of our job here is, aside from creating more species entries/pages, to ensure that all pages will follow the latest formatting (well, eventually...) I know it's a long process, but we rarely have people with the technical knowledge of computer AND also interested in animals that build bots to help speed up such process.

And finally, if you leave a message to a talk page, please add your entry to the bottom, not the top, of the page. This is the common norm across all projects (including Wikipedia). OhanaUnitedTalk page 22:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
