Actually, I came here today to find a place for my forum article on the BedRent quest - since I get a question on that occasionally. But my haplessness to even find a place to ask for a place suggests that there is a need for a place that peripheral people like me can go to and ask such stuff.  Any ideas on either question ?

Where to put something ?[edit | edit source]

Actually, I came here today to find a place for my forum article on the BedRent quest - since I get a question on that occasionally. But my haplessness to even find a place to ask for a place suggests that there is a need for a place that peripheral people like me can go to and ask such stuff. Any ideas on either question ? Clavis0 20:53, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

not to offend anyone - but I consider no reaction an invitation to do this whatever way I deem reasonable :-) Clavis0 17:48, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
A perfectly reasonable reaction. In general, that's exactly what you should do. There is the Tutorials Category. There's also Useful Code, if you think it fits there. Wherever works for the tutorial is really where it should be.
As for questions, you should probably put policy questions like this on top of this page, so we can find it. Just below the intro/heading thing, and above older discussions.
Thanks for your contribution to the Wiki! Sorry I didn't notice this before!

The wiki has a Questions Category for questions, you can also place them on a talk page if they're about a specific article or to a specific user. Your forum article on the BedRent quest sounds like a tutorial, if that's what it is, put it in the tutorials section.
If you put something in the wrong place it will be moved by others eventually, so use your common sense and compare your article with others in that category but if you're not 100% sure it should go there, say so on the talk page and post it anyway.
One last thing, if there are a lot of changes on one day there's a chance your question gets missed, this is most likely what happened here. --Qazaaq 18:16, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
Hey, just updating this: the Questions category is now deleted, and questions that are not about a specific article should go on the Forums. You may put them on your Talk page, but this is not recommended as it is fairly unlikely that your question will actually get answered. The Forums will provide the quickest, most accurate and thorough answers, and by putting them there we avoid cluttering the Wiki. Thanks!
