From Create Your Own Story
Please make sure to include the title of the story as a category on each page you post. If you don't know how to add categories, please review the Tutorial, especially Basic page format. --Dirty Me 08:54, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Umm, is STRICTLY PRIVATE the actual name of the story? You need to add the name of the story...and you need to add it correctly...
The stories should be in alphabetical order, so if that is the name, shouldn't it be under S, not all the way at the end? Also, you need to add the proper wiki elements, just like every other one includes...
I have fixed the entry, but you really need to make sure you entered your story name, not some random message, since that means your story will be called "STRICTLY PRIVATE"...

Umm, first, have you read the Tutorial? Second, it is better to leave messages for someone on their user talk page, which for me is: User talk:DirtyMeStoryTime. It isn't a matter of being good with computers, it is a matter of paying attention to what you are doing. The Rules are posted right on the front page. Writing on here secretly from your family doesn't really matter much for that. You can learn by doing, but it is better to read the rules, the tutorial, and maybe check a few pages from other stories to see how they are written. When you add a new story to an index page, like All Family-Friendly Stories, just see what it looks like when you hit edit. You will note it has things like |-, and that they all fall in together, not outside the }. Again, it is more a matter of paying attention. Other tips, make sure you include a category in every page you write. This is in the Tutorial. Make sure if you make a link, and the link already goes to another page, that you change that link, not the next page. As for why you are writing in secret, well, I have no clue why you would do that. --Dirty Me 07:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Better, now I got the You have a new message thing on my screen. Eh, not sure what to say about your mom. Seems strange. I mean, computers are everywhere, so it makes no sense. Although, I would understand, depending how old you are, why she might want to limit it. But, be careful on this website. It has lots of adult content that you should not be reading if you are under 18. Anyways, good luck with your story, and remember, just pay attention, and no one will bother you on the site. --Dirty Me 07:57, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Here, let me give you some tips I always use. When I make a story, the first page is always the name of the story, like Prank War. Then, each additional page, I use Prank War/next page, so it looks like [[Prank War/Ashley]], which will take you to Prank War/Ashley. To keep it from having that annoying / in the middle, I then add | and the next page name, like [[Prank War/Ashley|Ashley]], so you see Ashley. Then, I do not need to worry about "did someone create a page named Ashley?", and, it also makes it so I have this "< Prank War" at the top, so I can always click that and go to the first page of the story again if I want. You avoid putting links to other's stories, you get to pick the name you want, and you have all your story pages under the same folder, in my case, Prank War.
Also, you do not need to have a template. That was put there so you know how to make one if you want. It is not required, and is not useful if your story isn't going to use it. If it is, well, you can replace the template, but they are hard to figure out. Let me know if you need help on it. --Dirty Me 08:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
