Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Destroyermen has been reverted. Your edit here to Destroyermen was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://destroyermen.wikia.com/wiki/Destroyermen_Wiki) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an external Wiki, then please note that these links should generally not be included (see 'links to avoid' #12). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:55, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Help
Hello this is very different than the other Wikis. I've been working hard on the Destroyermen Wiki including getting the author of the series, Taylor Anderson involved. I do not understand the why of your policy and think it is a mistake in this cace. Tyalor has been supplying his own art beyond what is shown on his own site. I feel that including the Destroyermen Wiki as an external link would be a help to readers of the article in visualizing the series.

 * Though I am not an admin, here is the answer WP:RELY. Since Wikia can be edited by anyone, it doesn't qualify as reliable source. Still, I leave the template open. An admin will explain you better. But, I don't feel you need to ask this to an admin. There is a notice board for it. Visit WP:RSN. Still, the help template would be enough to address this problem. 117.222.91.108 (talk) 16:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)


 * And one more thing. You should read the links provided in above discussion. It is actually helpful. 117.222.91.108 (talk) 16:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It's true, you don't need an administrator for this. Wikipedia's external links guidline disallows wikis as external links (see WP:ELNO#12), so the Destroyermen wiki isn't an acceptable link. Sorry, but that's the way our guidelines work. You are welcome to dispute this at the relevant talkpage and try to get consensus for changing this rule, but as things stand, you can't link to other wikis. Yunshui 雲 水 10:36, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Ugh, the directed talk page does not allow talking about a specific link thus the specific link in question how can I talk about it without breaking the rules? Who wrote the rules Franz Kafka? Pokermind (talk) 18:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
