Welcome to the wiki!

Hi there, welcome to the Guild Wars 2 Wiki!

I noticed your edit here. Please don't sign edits on articles. Signatures should only really be used on talk pages. Wikis are a collaborative effort, and they get very untidy very quickly if every edit on an article is accompanied by a signature. People will know an edit was made by you from looking at the History tab of an article or the list of your edits. Thanks for joining and helping! :) Khenmu 20:40, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Additionally I feel compelled to say that linking to a specific youtube video is generally not allowed. Ordinarily I wouldn't mention it, but in addition to it being self promotion, you also undid it when it was removed the first time, and they are the only edits you have made.

Please do not edit your video link back into the article again. Psycho Robot (talk) 22:34, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps it should be explained why, rather than just "please do not" >.>

Hello Ayelinn. If every user added a link to their own walkthrough videos on youtube, then we'd have a never ending sequence of addition and removal from other users competing with each other as to which is best. As there aren't really enough editors to check and compare every single youtube video, we created the {{YouTube search}} template, so that its as impartial as possible and searches youtube with the "<name of the page>" and "guild wars 2" as the search term.

I hope that you can understand our reasoning. (we have a policy for this kind of thing here)

If you do unfortunately decide to try and add a link to a specific video again, then your edits will be reverted, and other users will be within their rights to restore {{YouTube search}} to the page. --Chieftain Alex 12:14, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Additionally, your video is the top search result in this case, so why change anything? :) -Chieftain Alex 12:16, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
