>Add new comments below.

I removed the CW section because, as far as could be told, there was nothing in it.

Sorry if I'm doing this wrong you mentioned categories, how exactly do I do that? I really have no idea I'm sorry if my editing was against the rules.

What do you mean by Uncategorized? My stuff is getting deleted and i don't understand.

An apolicypse

Sorry for my bad formatting and syntax. Its my first story and im still learning how to do everything :) Tell me if you have any other suggestions that might improve how it turns out. An_apolicypse

The Greatest Weekend Ever

Hey, Can you tell me how to completely remove pages from a story? people have edited my story and i dont like the way they took it. User Talk: saleemyas3

okay thats what i did, but you messaged me to not do that, and you put all the text back in the pages.

What about Categorizing?

How do you categorize a page? And why do you get penalized when you don't? I certainly don't get the jist of why we have to

categorize when I don't know how to do it, and can't find out where, either.

Moving Story to Category

I'm a bit new here although ive had expierence editing with Wikia. How do i move the story im started, High School Sophomore Year, to the Adult Section? Loch

Something came to my attention...

Looks like a kid who's obviously under 18 added a story to the "Adult" section. I didn't remove it, but you may want to look at it.

This is the story.[1]

Page Needs Attention

As requested on the page I am bringing SttMF/Ask Him to Just Fuck You to your attention. It is linked from SttMF/Let Him Pleasure You.

Smutty Sex Romp

Hey Platypus, doing a great job as always.

Would you please review Smutty Sex Romp? The description on the main page claims 10,000 pages, but I just did a quick check, and it only have 636.

Smutty Sex Romp

From Lord X. I'd like to have the Church Little Lindsay section expanded including talking to the nun about what i did to lindsay i'm wondering if she's accepting

Greek Heroes

I'm doing Greek Heroes for a school project. It will be a story about Heracles. As you can see, I've already got a few CYOA's.

Smutt Sex Romp

Sorry, clearly I don't understand how everything works yet. I simply clicked on the page list and this is what it says:

Articles in category "Smutty Sex Romp" The following 199 pages are in this category, out of 646 total.

I assumed that the 646 total meant that was how many pages were part of the story.

RedOwl

No problemo, I'll be sure to make sure my grammar and tenses work better in whatever I add to SSR from now on.

Category page for Temporal

Hi there,

Thanks for setting up a category page for my new story "Temporal". I have only just started here and didn't realize I had to make one until just now, and noticed you had already done it for me. Appreciate it!

Birthday Boy

Thanks for catching the orphaned page!

Brai

I'm really sorry, As you can see it's a work in progress but I try to follow the rules.

Page Tagging

Hi Platapus,

I added a new feature to EDI today:

http://groups.google.com/group/editthisinfo/browse_thread/thread/9fb943f21e7f2953

I figure tagging might be something that would be pretty useful and important to this wiki. Feel free to fiddle with it and if you would like to set any standards for cyoa, I leave it up to your judgement.

Furry World Advice?

Okay since I'm a major idiot...I accidentally made an article tag and not a post...please just ignore that. I was working on some furry world postings the other day and I saw that you were a major contributor to it, I was just wondering if you were interested in taking a look at some of the things I've written...I don't know. Sorry to trouble you man.

Question

Whenever l try to edit Lady Helsing it says Permission error and l'm not allowed because l'm not user or a bureaucrat even when l have already logged in. Why's that?

Hi Platypus Thanks for the reminder for the the stats, I completely forgot them. Do you know if there is any way to change the header of the movie section from "movie" to "books"? The part i´m currently doing is based on the NJO books, so "movie" deoens´t really fit. THX Maramara2

Sorry

Oh gosh, I am really really sorry if I made a mistake on the Smutty story. It's my first day on this site, so I apologise if I fucked up. It won't happen again.

Bug Report?

Hi Platypus, I hope this goes here. I was going through the story University Daze and I came across a page that gives me the following message:

The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named "Ask her for the reagent". This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted. If this is not the case, you may have found a bug in the software. Please report this to an administrator, making note of the URL.

The link wasn't red and I tried refreshing several times to see if if it was a momentary glitch, but it kept happening, so I decided to report it here. I hope this is the correct procedure.

The page in question is http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/Ask_her_for_the_reagent and I got to it from http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/Tell_her_the_truth_and_say_no

Featured Stories

I believe the inyashas fantasy land story being on the Previous Featured Stories page is a mistake. It doesn't appear to have shown up on the Featured CYOA Nominations page, the grammar is laughably poor, and if my assumptions are correct, it seems to have been written by an InuYasha fan who can't even spell the name of his favorite show. I would correct this myself, but I know you're usually pretty on top of things, so I just wanted to make sure it was allowed to stay up in error. I don't want to step on your toes or anything. --Cannon 06:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Felix342018

I just wanted to alert you that Felix342018 changed the links in Plan B-Attack to go to an external website. I reverted his edit. It seems fairly clear to me that he has no intention of making any productive contributions. I believe you have the power to put an end to this, yes? --Cannon 07:08, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Oops on link removal

I only discovered that there were few or no dark alleys in the part of Manhattan relevant to Worlds End by looking it up in Google Street View, but I tried to preserve the story by relocating the action. (If you were to walk to the Hudson River from the Port Authority, which direction would you go in? West. Which street would you take? Probably somewhere around 42nd. Thus the editing decision there.) I try not to remove links/ rip pages out, though. Rickyrab 04:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

That being said, sorry about the page loss. Rickyrab 04:27, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
