    Hey, my name's Conkerkid11, and although I'm not exactly new, I have yet to do much around the boards. I've been putting it off for awhile, forgot how to even get here in the first place, then found it again just recently when emailed a link to it.

    I'll help out with almost everything, and I own an Xbox 360, a PS3, a Wii, a PC, and a Vita. I don't play much besides PC games, but like I said, I'll help out with almost everything. I plan on buying a Wii U, so I'll definitely be contributing to games specific to that console. I'm particularly a fan of the Halo series (just the games, if you ask me about the lore, I probably won't have a response). I most often play League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, Team Fortress 2, and will probably spend the rest of my time playing Halo 4 when it releases.

    I mostly began contributing because I fell in love with the FX television show American Horror Story and felt the Wiki needed some assistance. I was wrong however, and most of what I wrote was terribly worded and/or contained spoilers that had to be removed. I've gotten better (I certainly hope) at writing because of these wiki guides, and will hopefully provide better content for season 2 of the show. I came back to the editing scene when I noticed a contributor contest posted by Stephanie, and decided I wanted a Playstation Vita, and since then I've been lurking around contributing whenever possible. Just ignore everything I do in the comments section of the articles here, that's separate from my MyIGN life, lol.

    So thanks guys for luring me here with your awesome contests, and preventing me from ever leaving with the awesome community. I'm sorry once again for not making it to the IGN Meet n' Greet that was held at PAX, and I feel very bad about that after hearing about how great it was. Hopefully I can make it up to you guys, and hopefully you plan on holding another one at PAX Prime 2013, of which I also plan on going to.

    :D

    I think all new Mods should introduce themselves, but you're not exactly new [face_tongue]

    Make sure to bookmark this board if you can't remember how to get here. It's pretty simple since it's on the main ign.com/boards page. Just scroll down until you see the Wiki board.

    Do you know about the spoiler tags? It hides all spoiler text, but you can't use any mark-up code.

    Yeah, I ended up bookmarking this page. And I do believe a spoilers tab was added to the American Horror Story wiki guide because of the amount of spoilers present in the guide, as I don't see such a tab in any other guide (though of course the tags are still present). So yes, I know about them, but have yet to need to use them.

    ^ P.S. Unless it is the current episode (that hasn't aired), the Entertainment Editors prefer not to use spoilers at all in their wikis - since people are looking up information (voluntarily).

    Please see that they are properly addressed. Thanks.

    There's currently nothing in there that I would necessarily consider spoilers, though Matt Fowler might prove me wrong. The first season's already aired, and the second season will air on October 17th. The only information regarding the second season that's in the guide so far are the location that it will take place, and the actors as well as the characters they will portray, as released by Entertainment News.

    Also, I'm not sure if you've seen American Horror Story or not, but the seasons act as completely separate stories, and in no way affect each other. Therefore nothing about season 1 could spoil something in season 2. Thanks for the concern though, I'll definitely be more careful with this upcoming season than I was with the last.

    I'll leave that to Matt Fowler, if he sees it fit to order the episodes that way. I'm not sure why Person of Interest required that, as the episodes also have individual names, but before making any drastic changes to the guide, I'll ask Matt Fowler if it's even necessary. I can see where one might need to know which episode of which season a particular episode is, and it might just have to remain in the confines of that particular page rather than its title.

    ^ The episode numbers were as given on the official CBS site -- but yes, run it by Fowler if you like.

    I'm confused by this statement - are you referring to not using spoiler tags, or not having any content that could be considered spoilers?

    Ng meant to not use Spoiler Tags in wikis about movies and tv. I have no idea where that info came from, but disregard it -- use them whenever you feel it appropriate, I trust you all. Nobody knows how to use them anyway <spoiler>this is how</spoiler>.

    Who are the current entertainment guys anyways? Mark told me he's no longer working with the Wiki Guides.

    I had no idea that wiki even existed, and apparently neither did they. Those bios are so lonely, and Matt's still listed as an editor in there as well as on his profile. :/

    Hey Conker! I enjoyed doing the Game of Thrones wiki with you!!! Glad to be working with you [face_tongue]

    Also, I read Matt's reviews during the year. They were very good.

    Maybe we should sticky static wikis (those won't be found normally unless you are the Master of Wiki .... aka sng-ign) [face_peace]
