Sorry if I made a mess of this page[edit]

I noticed this page was completely empty, so I decided to take a shot and add some information/an image/etc. As I'm a complete novice with editing wikis (I've only done a few minor things on here in the past), I imagine I've made a terrible mess of things. >.< You have my apologies -- though at least now the page has some information/a walkthrough for anyone who might need it. If you guys have any constructive criticism or advice on how to better my work here or how to better my editing/article creating in general, please let me know, as I'd love to be able to do a better job when trying to help out on here.

You should not worry. It is the content that matters. Formatting can be done later by others.
If you want advice on formatting I can really on see on major issue, and that is your use of break (<br>). It should never occur. If you want a new paragraph you should rather hit the enter button twice.
Of minor issues I see two. One is that bulletpoints are done with * in the beginning of the new line. The other is that the empty Notes section is revealed because you have accidentally deleted the "<!--" from the line over.
I believe you may also wish to use the preview button more. It will make it easier to experiment a bit without saving each time. In fact you also flood the Recent Edits list for those who are patrolling the recent edits to check on edit quality, so you make their job easier by using preview rather than saving several times during edit. —MortenOSlash (talk) 08:15, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks very much for all of the advice -- I really appreciate it. (And I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused with the multiple edits. Someone stopped by on my page to let me know about the hassle I'd caused for you guys with all that and I felt rather crappy I'd caused such a pain. >.< )
Your advice has been very helpful to me and I'll take care to make use of it on any future edits I do on here!~ Thanks again (and my apologies for the trouble).

You have no reason to feel that bad about anything. It is usually a phase most of us have gone through, so you may consider it part of the process of learning how to edit. Further, in general you do great job. If everyone of the editors should go around being afraid of making mistakes, there would not have been much done here. What is really appreciated is a positive attitude to learn new things and try them out, like you show. If you continue to try, you will get better, and in a few months, it might be you giving advice to new editors. —MortenOSlash (talk) 04:41, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
