That's why we like to greet new users personally and provide a few handy suggestions to get them up to speed on how this particular wiki operates. In no time at all, you'll be helping to add to the knowledge base.

 * When leaving messages on discussion pages, always finish them by typing ~ . This automatically adds your username to the comment so everyone will know who it came from, and when.
 * When making edits to pages, please leave a short note as to what it was you did. There is a space at the bottom of each page you're editing just for this feature. This helps the other users and the administrators so that they can know at a glance any new changes. You can see all the new changes yourself by clicking on the "recent changes" link found on the left of every page.
 * You should always try to make new pages look like the pages already created. That way, they will all look uniform and the information they contain will always be in the same place. This makes it easier on everybody to find things.
 * For information about how to do wiki-related things, check out the FAQ for more tricks.

Pictures you do not own
Per guidelines we cannot post pictures that are not our own. This is a test 86 (talk) 15:12, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * I own hwtreasure.com. I have watermarked the pictures with my website name. ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 16:24, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * I saw that...so I reverted those. The 2016's are from ebay all from one specific seller. Are those yours as well? This is a test 86 (talk) 18:40, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Uh....yeah. Why would I break Wikia's rules...? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 22:42, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * The domain data names a different owner... [[image:wheel icon.png]] Tszuta  Talk [[image:wheel icon.png]]


 * @User:Tszuta For which ones? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 13:20, September 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alex Johns is not the owner of the hwtreasure.com domain.

You should not replace loose images with carded one all ready there. Loose images take priority over carded one. Editing rules are there for a reason. Carded first than Loose and than if a better image of a loose image can go on.

 * Ok. I'm sorry. I didn't know that. ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 12:45, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

Thumbnail Coding
I just wanted to let you know to stop using thumbnail coding in the tables. It does not belong there. It takes people like me a long time to go around and remove this spurious coding when we could be doing something else. So, try to remember not to use thumbnail coding in the various tables that tell about the different versions of the cars. Kenny HaarFager (talk) 22:25, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * @HaarFager I am sorry. I do not know how to get it off. I just use the Classic Editor and click something like "Add media." If I use the source editor, that takes a long time to do stuff with. How can I make it quit? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 22:28, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't really know what you're talking about. I just click the link at the top of each page that says, "edit this page." Then I go in and add whatever image I have to add, using the code already used by all the other pictures. If your edit doesn't look like everybody else's on the page, you did something wrong and undo it. Kenny HaarFager (talk) 22:51, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm...Are you using HTML to do it? I just use standard text... ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 22:53, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * @ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 It's very simple: switch to "Classic editor" and after that to "source mode". When in source mode search for the picture you added:

(Example:)



This is the line you added by adding a picture. Above or:



Or something like the above sentence. You should change both of those to:



Standard size of a photo for a page of a casting is 75px and for a wheel on a wheel page is 100px. So your code should look like this:



Stephan3321 (talk) 20:55, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * @Stephan3321 I am sorry. I didn't notice that it was doing it until I was notified. I have figured out how to do it. Thanks for your info. :D ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 20:59, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

260Z
FYI Datsun 260Z already exists. This is a test 86 (talk) 20:52, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about?? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:00, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Wait a second. Do you mean the Kadio 260Z? But that is a new model...never produced before... ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:01, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * The news about the Datson 260Z has come before. And someone else already made the page for the car. The name you gave it "Kaido" is the name given by the fan community.Stephan3321 (talk) 21:17, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * You created both Datsun 260Z and Kaido 260Z. They are the same thing. This is a test 86 (talk) 21:19, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, shoot. I'll put the delete tag on the Kaido one in a minute. ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:20, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * And this is exactly why I'm not a fan of the fact that the pages are created so early. It could be a very good custom that news sites are believing to be a real one. Why create pages so early. Why not wait until they are out to the public of officialy released? You do not gain status of honor is you're the first one to create a page.Stephan3321 (talk) 21:22, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * I know. I am not trying to do that. I am just trying to make this Wiki a better place for collectors. I mean...if nobody posted about them until they came out, how would collectors know what the newest Treasure Hunt is so they can be prepared?(Or something like that) ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:26, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Good point. In that case: keep up the good work!Stephan3321 (talk) 21:27, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Really? Or are you just being sarcastic...I'm confused. ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:28, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I really think you are doing a good job. Just make sure to also change that standard line:

This Hot Wheels vehicle has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:

to

The INSERT CAR NAME HERE come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:

Except for that you are doing a good job!Stephan3321 (talk) 21:32, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why thank you. You are doing great too. :D I will remember to do that. Thanks!! ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 21:39, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

another edit needed on all new pages
at the bottom you will see { { DEFAULTSORT:Casting Name } } "Casting Name" should be changed to the casting's name and car names that begin with a number need a # sign first. Patty&#39;s Hot Wheels (talk) 23:14, September 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok. Is that when you create a new page only? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 00:05, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * when you use the casting page template, it starts with "Casting Name" - it needs to match the casting's name, sooner or later. Better when the page is first created. Not all are done right away. There's probably more not right.Patty&#39;s Hot Wheels (talk) 05:34, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I have been using it from what I know...do you mean where it says This Hot Wheels Vehicle has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions? Where you put the car's name in where it has it in italicized text? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 22:20, September 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * no. Look at the difference in the datsun 260Z.

Patty&#39;s Hot Wheels (talk) 00:43, September 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * That was a while ago...I have been doing it now. Why do you need it? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 13:07, September 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * Awhile ago? On Sep 11, just 3 days ago, you created the Side Ripper differenceand Stephan3321 edited the page 14 minutes later. And I see no pages edited by you to indicate you understand the Default Sort code. Did you follow the link I provided for the difference in the Datsun page? The link in this edit by me, is for the Side Ripper changes made by Stephan - please follow the link and notice all the edits made. And I'm not sure what you think I need, let alone why? Patty&#39;s Hot Wheels (talk) 17:44, September 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know...I will do it from now on, ok? I get it now and will use it.  ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99  (ℸαℓķ!) 19:37, September 14, 2015 (UTC)

BTTF Hover Mode
You created a duplicate page for the Hover Mode 20 minutes after I made one. This is a test 86 (talk) 20:16, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed that later. I searched for the page, but nothing close to it came up so I created a new page. It must not load new pages until later...? ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99 (ℸαℓķ!) 20:19, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey. I’m a big BTTF fan but new to the Hot Wheels wikia. Perhaps you could help me understand why the Retro Entertainment version of the “Hover Mode” Time Machine doesn’t belong on the Back to the Future Time Machine - Hover Mode page? (Your “Error Fixed” comment wasn’t much help I’m afraid.) Tonyruscoe (talk) 21:11, September 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure why we need another page either...I am just going with the flow. So...sorry I can't help you.  ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99  (ℸαℓķ!) 21:59, September 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean you can't help Tonyruscoe? You're the one who deleted the Entertainment version from the BTTF Hover Mode page. Why was it deleted in the first place? I just added it back in. The Hover Mode has a different page because it is a completely new and separate casting from the BTTF Time Machine from 2011. This is a test 86 (talk) 05:09, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

 * If you compare the difference between your edit and the previous one, you did delete it. This is a test 86 (talk) 14:55, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * If I did, it was an accident. <font color="#002CFD"><font color="#002CFD"><font color="#002CFD"> ℸℎℯℎℴℸωℎℯℯℓşℊμϒ99  <font color="#00FF00"><font color="#00FF00"><font color="#00FF00"> (ℸαℓķ!)   18:01, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

Thehotwheelsguy99,

That's a Custom Hot Wheel that somebody made, That doesn't belong in the VW Bug page. That would go in the custom page where people add photos of Hot Wheels they modified.

And no to the image size, it is still 75px.

Nerdo921 (talk)

 * Yes. That one is a custom. Sorry, I directed you to the wrong one.

Images
I am going to take a stand as one of the administrators here and ask you to stop posting images that are not yours. You may claim to have permission, but without proof, they can no longer be allowed. Asking you to provide proof for each and every image added is way too cumbersome for us. Post your images and that is all please. Tszuta Talk  17:21, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. Do you want me to send you a screen shot of the permission? <font color="#002CFD"><font color="#002CFD"><font color="#002CFD"> ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉  <font color="#32CD32"><font color="#32CD32"><font color="#32CD32"> (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!)   19:35, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
