It is okay to plan things out, but please do not upload things to the wiki until you actually create them in game.

If you look past the plot and the voice acting, Metroid: Other M was an okay game. Not a great game, but an adequate one.

Not using the Metroid item collect jingle though? That, was a mistake.

Actually, Stargazer, you can add stuff like that to the wikia, but the best place to do so would be on a user page, not a normal page. For example, let us say that you want to create an amazing race of mortals made out of pie. You'd go to loc-central.wikia.com/wiki/User:Stargaze... and start creating away. Then, when it gets created in game, you can addt he appropriate tags and either copy the page, or request that one of the admins move it (though I think only Toph and I tend to use the wikia much, so you'd probably want to ask either he or I).

Since wikia formatting can be a pain sometimes (well, most of the time), this allows you to get things to work ahead of time, rather than trying to figure out the formatting when you create the race as well.

EDIT: To note, a page for the map has been added to the wikia and linked to on the front page.

Eh? Where? I still can't find it. I would have expected "The World" or "Landmasses" to contain it, but both of those lead to blank pages.

Also -- what's this about Gates of Creation? That's not a thing!

I was just going to use the create a *** links to make the stuff. As for wikki so far I have managed to prety well figure out how to do whatever I need. It has ben very much more co-operative then these forums ever are. Just took me some getting used to. Did you see the page I Made for my god on the wikki? loc-central.wikia.com/wiki/Swift_Foot  I thought about doing more with that page but decided that it looked prety good as it was. 

I figured I would make the pages using the provided links but not actualy add the links in the proper section of wikki untill it happens in game like I did for my god basicaly.

Also when a new god is entered into the game how much of there creation, history/origin and whatnot does the player make and how much does the person introduceing them make. Just kinda wondering so I knew if I could do anything with the history/origin section yet or if that did inded need to wait till I was entered into the game. Figured the introduceing player progbably gave the basics of the new gods creation but wasn't entirely sure.

Anyhows back to watching the IC forum it's like a realy good book that you can only read paraghaph at a time and all leaving you hanging to see what happens next lol

That would be ill-advised. Just because it's not directly linked to doesn't mean it can't be found, especially if you're using the "Creat an X" templates, which auto-tag the created articles with their relevant category tags. Prospective players shouldn't be bumping into articles about things that don't yet exist in the game world. 

If, as Thought suggested, you keep prospective articles on your loc-central.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Sta... user talk page, you have all the advantages of having already made the article, and there will be no confusion about what does or doesn't exist. Finally, when you do get around to making the item in question, it's a simple matter of copy-pasting to the new article location.

You can even use the templates from the "Create an X", simply copy + paste the source to your talk page (loc-central.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Sta...) and delete the empty article. That gives you the genuine html to play around and prettify, if you care to.

It varies for each individual. You may PM a current player and ask that they help ascend you when your turn comes, giving you a chance to determine your origin.

I can just use programs on my comp to make the stuff and save it localy till it has time to be created then fine tune it no biggy I probably have plenty of prodjects with classes and junk I am making on the forums anyhows.

As for accention I was just wondering no biggy I am patient enough to wait and see what comes out, pluss leaving some to chance in anouthers hands gives more room to run with ideas.

did any1 need help stating anything int he mean while perhaps?
