I'm a new member. I joined because I noticed something missing on the "Connie's Conversion saga" page: https://www.aiowiki.com/w/index.php?title=Connie%27s_Conversion_saga&action=edit&section=1

But now that I'm a member I realized I don't understand enough about Wiki editing to add what I need to add. I would hate to mess anything up. Can someone teach me? or perhaps it would be better if someone could make the edit on my behalf. That's another idea. What if this Wiki had a place where unskilled editors could make suggestions and those of you who know what you are doing can implement the changes.

I will leave a editing guide on you talk page!

On any article page, for example Connie's Conversion saga (PS wiki links are made like this [[Connie's Conversion saga]]) up at the top of the page you will find a "Discussion" tab. That is called the talk page (its only in red because the page does not exist yet). On a page's talk page you can discuss things about a page. The talk page is exactly the place you were talking about, a place where unskilled editors could make suggestions.

Now Connie's Conversion saga is a good example of how many pages are build, and why editing is not always easy or, straight forward. On Connie's Conversion saga you may of noticed the wikitext contains no list of episodes, that is because the list is built programmatically from the episode pages (like many, many of the page across the wiki).

Please do add on the talk page what needs to be changed. (remember to sign your edits on talk pages with ~~~~).

Thanks Aiow, what you shared is very helpful. Yes, the fact that the wikitext of Connie's Conversion saga does not contain a list of episodes is exactly where I ran into trouble. I will add to the talk page so that we can update that page. Luke.storer (talk) 12:41, 21 September 2020 (MDT)

I created a discussion on the Connie's Conversion Saga page on Monday. I haven't noticed any response. Does it sometimes take a while for anyone to interact with something like this? How long should I expect to wait?

Aiow (talkcontribs)

I saw it a few days ago (actually before you posted here about it), but I'm not sure how or who decides which episodes go into Connie's Conversion saga. Looking at the current list I'm not sure why Karen is in there. I'd like to get some of the others' opinions on to which episodes belong before making a change.

Thanks for the update Aiow. P.S. Karen is on the list because it was flashed back to in “Connie”.
