Autopatrol
Hey Stink182, I added you to the autopatrol group. This means that staff will no longer be required to review your edits. There are no other changes. Users are generally placed in this group when they are active, experienced, and extremely unlikely to breach Inkipedia policy. Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun editing!

Link formatting
Hey Stink-182, it's come to my attention some of the links you've added to files within the Delete template aren't formatted correctly (example); please use double angled brackets containing the page's name to link things (eg. ), rather than pasting whole URLs, to link to things around this wiki. This formatting is more efficient, looks much neater, and allows the possibility of customizing a link's display text; please refer to the related help page section for more information.

Additionally, please work towards correcting file usage links before adding the Delete template to files in need of deletion; please ensure that the files you're requesting to be deleted are not in use anywhere on the wiki, as the files' links will break upon the deletion being performed, leaving cleanup work for others. This file is in use on two pages as listed on the bottom of the page, so please tidy that up via replacing the old file links with the new one. Please do this for that specific file as well as any others you've added the Delete template to. If you need any help feel free to let me know! Yoshifan52 (talk) 05:54, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


 * oops my bad thank you for letting me know! I will do it in a second Stink182 (talk) 17:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * also as I understand it you're not supposed to make edits to other people's pages, so is this one situation where that'd be okay? Stink182 (talk) 17:18, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * When it comes to others' user pages or sandboxes, updating things such as file or template links are the exception to that rule :) Thanks for double-checking! Yoshifan52 (talk) 22:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Interwiki link formatting
Another tip for link formatting: when linking to NIWA wikis, or Wikipedia, it is considered more professional to use interwiki link formatting instead of external link formatting, because if the URL format is changed, or if we decide to style those links a certain way, all links will automatically be updated, but only if using the proper interwiki formatting.

You added an external link  to File:Alterna Logo Pangaea.png. You can correct it by changing the Wikipedia link to. For practice, please correct the file page File:Alterna Logo Pangaea.png, and any other pages you remember that could be improved by using interwiki link formatting.

A list of supported wikis and their interwiki prefix can be found at Special:Interwiki. As you may notice, Wikipedia could use  or. Please use interwiki link formatting going forward for any NIWA wiki or other supported wiki. Please let me know if you need any help with this type of linking!
