Welcome[edit]

Hi Voros.  It's really excellent to see HacX walkthroughs being written — we've needed those for years.  Just one tip: you can copy-paste Template:Map skel when creating a new map page, and you'll have all the sections and tables in our standard order with no extra typing.  Thanks again, and welcome!    Ryan W (usually gone) 20:01, 29 July 2016 (CDT)

Thank you! This saves a lot of trouble.--Voros (talk) 02:10, 30 July 2016 (CDT)
You can more easily sign your talk contributions using the squiggly button (ninth from the left above the edit box), or by typing --~~~~. --Xymph (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2016 (CDT)
Oh! Thanks! I was wondering how to achiever that without constantly typing it out --Voros (talk) 02:10, 30 July 2016 (CDT)

Flemoid edits[edit]

Two issues here.

  1. We prefer not to copy content from the other site because Google penalizes us for doing so, and also when we do, we have to add a link back to their page.
  2. The flemoid images are not in conformance with this wiki's policy, which is in general against upload of plain WAD resources (exceptions have been made but these are rare and never in situations this easily addressed). What would be more appropriate is to replace the sprite rips with screenshots of the monsters in the Chex Quest levels in their native habitats.

Ok then. I'll do a mass revision, delete all the photos, upload screenshots and write my own description soon. --Voros (talk) 18:50, 1 August 2016 (CDT)
