Why are some people called random numbers with dots in-between (e.g. 12.74.74.97.58)? Just wondering.[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 06:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

:Those are people who edit the wiki without an account, the string of numbers is the contributing user's IP address. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 14:54, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

can you change the name of [[User:MetaKirbo/Old Polls|this page]] to "User:MetaKirbo/Old Polls"?--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 16:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
:Done. Also, in future you can also [[Help:Moving pages|change page names yourself]] with the move button at the top of the page. (Also, moving pages doesn't affect links to the page, although by default a redirect is created so old links still work.) {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Does Wikirby use doxxing? <Big><big>I hope NOT</big></Big> since I really don't like the idea of someone stealing my E-mail address.--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 16:35, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
:The email tied to your account here is only used by the wiki software for notifications (primarily pages on your watchlist being edited) and password resets, you can see those settings in [[Special:Preferences]]. That being said, if you use the email another user function then I think it shows your email to whoever you sent that email to. If you don't use the email user function, then there's not a way for another user to see your email. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 20:39, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Ok, thank you--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 06:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
:Hi, sysadmin here. To clarify, the only people who can see your email address are you, me, my sysadmin partner [[User:Ampera|Ampera]] and users you send email to via the wiki (and you probably don't use this feature). Additionally, the admin who created your account could briefly see it when creating your account after approving your request, but only because we are unable to hide that information on account creation form. However, if you don't feel comfortable having your email address in the system, you may freely remove it in your preferences, it's only mandatory when requesting an account. The only big side effect of doing so is that you will be unable to recover your account if you forget its password, it won't affect contributing in any way. --[[User:Soveia|Soveia]] ([[User talk:Soveia|talk]]) 13:18, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

== Suggestions for improvement? ==
Hey, uhh, i joined the wiki sometime last year(made around 60 or so minor edits), but ive been very inactive over the last couple of months... But now, im hoping to actually become active and contribute and do my duty for the wiki. But i would like to ask for some general suggestions on how to start really getting into the wiki editing, especially in learning to write for the wiki and in finding sources & stuffs. Im not sure where exactly to start besides just doing some archiving of links, and i do feel like i need some guidence in terms of learning to write in the wiki style. So hopefully you'll be able to give some suggestions, but if you'd rather me go ask someone else i will delete this and do so.  :)

:Hi, welcome back to the wiki! I know I'm not the one you asked, but I can fill in a bit to help you. You'll want to take a look at [[Help:Contents]], which should tell you pretty much everything you'll want to know about editing WiKirby. From there, it's pretty much up to you whatever you would like to tackle. I'm sure you're aware of [[WiKirby:Project Clean-Up]], but there's also some ideas for things you can help out with on [[WiKirby:Current events]] as well. It doesn't have to be anything too major — even just archiving links or fixing typos helps a lot. We're happy to have you here!

::Also, for writing in wiki style there is [[WiKirby:Writing style]] and [[WiKirby:Writing specifics]]. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 22:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 
:::Ok, thanks for the help, i want to try rewriting a page or something a bit bigger than archiving. Im considering trying my hand at the Kirby fighters page(of course getting the version approved first), but i want to know if i shouldnt, or if there is more info or suggestions for rewriting that article.[[User:COnNoReXiStS|ConnorExists]] ([[User talk:COnNoReXiStS|talk]]) 20:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)ConnorExists
