 * Need help? The Community Portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit. You may also try asking for help on the IRC channel, where some users may be able to help you!


 * Want someone to guide you along the way? Check out our user adoption program which is designed to help out new and possibly inexperienced users like yourself.


 * Spotted some vandalism? We have a team of administrators who will happily deal with vandalism when they see it. If you have found some vandalism from a user who hasn't been sanctioned, you can help by reporting it!

Editing note
Hi. Just a reminder: when editing, please be careful not to remove interwiki links or categories of the article.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:11, July 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Did I do that? I'm so sorry, I wasn't even trying to edit those. I'll be more careful, and thanks for being so nice about it. Apologies again. Vpetmad (talk) 09:15, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's okay, I'm sure it was an accident. While editing, are you using visual editor or source editor, if I may ask?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:39, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I usually use Visual as I'm not very familiar with using code. Vpetmad (talk) 09:29, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Visual editor is usually the culprit of glitchiness in the content. It's advisable that you get used to source code editing though. It's more practical and handy once you're used to it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:37, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm working on it. Vpetmad (talk) 11:46, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

About that Voodoo Doll edit...
Re:  http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Voodoo_doll?diff=698692

Just so you know, that wasn't a mistake on my part when I changed that part last year; "idle" is a verb too.

But it's no big deal, and you edited several other bits that did need fixing. So no worries.

 * Oh, ok thanks, I didn't know that. Always happy  to learn something new, especially about words!  Vpetmad   (talk)  06:32, September 22, 2015 (UTC)

Successful nomination for rollback
Congratulations on your successful nomination for rollback! Thought I might give you a short introduction on the rollback tool.

Rollback is a feature of the MediaWiki software that runs many websites, namely Wikipedia and Wikia. It allows all consecutive edits made by one user to be undone in one click.

What rollback does. Rollback only works on the latest edit (current revision) in an article. If you click on rollback, it acts immediately. Instructing the server to perform rollback will revert all consecutive edits made by one user to the last revision not made by that user. For instance, if User A made 6 edits in a row to The Sims 2, and no one else edited after them, using rollback will revert all 6 of those edits to the last edit not made by User A.

When to use it. Because rollback does not allow for a custom edit summary, it should only be used for obvious vandalism. It should not be used to revert good faith edits or edits that have good intentions. If a good faith edit needs to be reverted, use the undo function or manually revert the edit and provide an explanation in the edit summary.

You can use rollback to:
 * Revert obvious vandalism
 * Revert your own edits (AKA self-reverting)
 * Revert edits in your own userspace (e.g. your userpage or your user talk page)
 * Revert a large amount of edits that are deemed unhelpful, such as a malfunctioning bot, as long as an explanation is posted somewhere, perhaps at the talk page of the bot.

What if I accidentally click it? It happens, because rollback works instantly. If you do accidentally rollback an edit you didn't intend to revert, just manually revert the edit and explain it was a mistake.

What else do I do after reverting vandalism? It's not strictly required, but it would be appropriate to warn the vandal on their user talk page. You can either use a hand-written warning or, now that you are a rollbacker, you can use the pre-made warning templates.

Have any questions? You can ask me at my my talk page.

Thanks, and enjoy your new tool! --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  12:10, November 10, 2015 (UTC)
