User blog:Ash9876/Hints and Tips: Beginning on FTF wiki, for beginners

Alright, this has been happening for a wee while so I'm making a blog post about it. Anyways. So, new users are popping up all over the place and don't seem to know what to do, what rules we have and whatnot. So I shall devise a simple process for all you new users to follow until you guys get the hang of things.

Step 1
CHECK THE RULES!

A very important thing on any wiki is it's rules. So when you get on here and ask an admin a question, PLEASE don't ask them if I can make a "Space-Time Dragon Slayer" or whatever, cause then the admins will be annoyed. When you get on here, go to an admin and preferably ask a link to THE RULES!. Once you find the rules and whatnot, READ THEM! . Everyone should know this, but rules are an essential part of the wiki and despite what people say about they are necessary for this fanon to function properly.

Step 2
Create a character!

So, you've read the rules thoroughly and whatnot, what's the next step? MAKE A CHARACTER! a very fun part about wiki, making characters :D. Now, for all those who are stuck on what type of character to make and how to make it, check out my other Hints and Tips blog for some advice. Do you need help with infoboxes? Don't be afraid to ask! We'll be glad to help and explain things to you :D.

A big thing that users don't seem to get is that POWER IS NOT EVERYTHING IN A CHARACTER. I do not mean to be antagonistic, but many new users seem to jump straight onto a Lost Magic, Slayer Magic and want a character for it! Then they seem to get these wild ideas on their heads about "Space-Time Slayers" and so many others that aren't necessary.

So, what do I recommend? Start of simple. Maybe make a character with normal Fire Magic instead of Dragon Slayer, and perhaps begin with Thought Projection instead of huge illusions? Don't rush into S-Class Mage level characters, maybe start off with a normal mage, learn to expand them and eventually grow from your limits, experiment with different things while staying with the rules. Maybe make a character totally specialised in one form of magic like my Thor Lucian, who specialises completely in Lightning Magic. It isn't hard, it just takes some diligence and patience, both of which are important virtues.
