The Lost Stone Mansion

Hello Paul, welcome back to the IFWiki.

Thank you for your contributions to the wiki page for your game, The Lost Stone Mansion. However, I direct your attention to the IFWiki Game page style guide.

Note that I do not speak on behalf of IFWiki, I'm just a user going by what the style guide says and what is the standard layout on other game pages. In particular, your large How It Begins section, your Notable Features section that is mostly unnotable or mentioned elsewhere on the page, your Reviews section that should be a link down in the links section, and your extra Additional Information and Actual Text Generated During Gameplay sections, and the non-standard Versions section (which has the only standard release sub-section orphaned into your Actual Text... section).

I think a lot of this content belongs on an off-site web page that is linked to in the links section.

Oh, also I recommend the use of the "Show preview" button to avoid saving as many revisions.

Thanks! --Peskie 10:53, 4 June 2009 (PDT)


Sadly, you left the game page for The Lost Stone Mansion with the version section mangled and the ifarchive link in the wrong section and with a broken use of the ifarchive template.

Given that and my above comments I've cleaned up the page, largely reverting your changes. The vast majority of your content was detailed/promotional and not suitable for IFWiki. Your changes are still accessible at http://ifwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Lost_Stone_Mansion&oldid=38585 so that you can move the content to another website should you wish (which IFWiki would then link to via the links section).

Please read the IFWiki Game page style guide before making any further edits to your game page.

Thank you. --Peskie 13:16, 4 June 2009 (PDT)
