User talk:Mr. Nacho de la Libre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome!
Hello, Mr. Nacho de la Libre, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- Your first article
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
For continuing to make unhelpful edits...
- Changing date formatting: If a linked date is listed as [[29 May]], you do not have to change it. It is not incorrect, and, depending on how user preferences are set, they are automatically converted to display in whatever format the user wants. Watch:
- Wikifying dates unnecessarily: It is not necessarily to wikify every single year in an article.
- Adding unnecessary text: If a person's birth and death dates are listed as "(1973-2006)," you don't have to change it to "(born 1973-died 2006)"; it is generally known what the dates refer to.
- Moving articles by cutting and pasting instead of using the "move" link

[edit] Categories
Hi there, You don't need to put something in a category if it's already in a subcategory; since [[Category:Kellogg cereals]] is a subcategory of [[Category:Breakfast cereals]], you don't need to put it in [[Category:Breakfast cereals]] too. Hope this helps, Fourohfour 14:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
