[edit] Using Show Preview

Hello MeowMeow, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, --DorianGray 03:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I know about that. Thanks for making sure I did, though! Also, I haven't been welcomed yet, so thanks for visiting my page!

Your friend, MeowMeow

You know about it, but you're still not using it. The rest of us don't need to see how many tries it took you to correctly format a link. I used the show preview button several times writing this. (Incidentally, if you put |right in the picture, like [[File:sterrance.png|right]], it will right justify like I think you were trying to do earlier.)

Okay! It can be hard for me to remember these things sometimes, so I'll try to work on it. I'm making an effort to try to use it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. - MeowMeow

Oh, and thanks for the advice, The Knights Who Say Ni! That was useful. Your grateful friend, MeowMeow

[edit] Signature

Hey there. I saw you made yourself a signature. The problem is, the signature needs to fit in this box:
File:sigbox.png MeowMeow
The image is way too tall to fit in that box. If you could go ahead and fix that, that would be great. — HoveringSombrero (talk)

Hi, HoveringSombrero!
MeowMeow here. Thank you so much for your friendly advice! I will do that right now. Have a great day!
Your grateful friend,
MeowMeow

MeowMeow
will show them together, which can be helpful. -113.37.226.89 04:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Stumes 2022?

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have proof that you were in fan stumes 2022? Like... an image of the tweet or some other confirming evidence? If we could get that kind of thing for the wiki, that would be good (and normally It's Dot Com checks for this, but today I am). Also, don't feel to bad getting asked about if you were really in the fan costumes commentary, it happened to me too. ----J∃ffJMan 14:41, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Also, welcome to the wiki. ----J∃ffJMan 14:41, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I super apreciate it. Unfortunatly, I can't give evidence. As I do not have evidence, I am going to remove it from the wiki. Also, thanks for welcoming me. <3<3<3

[edit] Replying to older posts on talk pages

Hello MeowMeow,

I noticed you recently replied to a few topics on Talk:Marzipan. Although joining in active discussions can be helpful, it's not that useful to reply after a certain time. For example, you commented in threads from 2006 or 2009, both well over a decade old. There are a couple reasons to avoid replying to long-inactive threads:

  • People might have found an answer on their own, not remember what they were talking about, or have changed their opinion in the meantime.
  • The users in the discussion could no longer be active on the wiki, and won't see your reply to their question. Since the site is over 20 years old (and is much less active than in the '00s) many HRWiki users have stopped posting over time. In this case, you replied to users who haven't logged in in fourteen years.
  • A lot of users (like me!) browse "Recent changes" to find active discussions. But excessive replies to off-topic threads are just distracting, since the discussion won't pick back up after such a long time.

Of course, an older article can always be updated with new information. But if you're looking to contribute to a discussion, just make sure it's reasonably active beforehand. You can also start a new topic if you have new information relevant to something brought up by an inactive user.

Hope that helps! -- Bleu Ninja 02:24, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Okay! Thanks a lot! - MeowMeow
