Here are some things you could try to be better respected on this wiki that seemed to work for me:


 * Get on chat once in a while. Getting on chat is a nice way to get to know the people of this wiki. Every active user on this wiki gets on there at least once every week. In fact, sometimes people are oblivious to your existence until you get on chat for the first time. The first time I got on chat wasn't until I had been a part of this wiki four two weeks. Apparently people were oblivious to my existence until then, because they were saying stuff as I got on like ":o noob" and "Behold! A new challenger approaches!"


 * Vote on every battle that interests you. Post a long an detailed vote on a battle when you can, and out perform all those comments that are all seven lines long at the most. Having the biggest and most carefully written vote of the battle tends to get you some recognition every once in a while.


 * Edit regularly. To be honest with you, the majority of my time here is spent editing pages. A proper page layout was established a few months ago, but this wiki is still recovering from all of those pages being improperly configured. See the current page layout, and adapt all improperly configured pages to that layout. See here for a list of pages that are properly configured. If you're having trouble getting something to work, view the source of properly configured pages. Or if you're still having trouble, contact a more experienced editor for some help. Adapt more pages to the proper layout, and your contribution the this wiki will be appreciated.


 * Be thoroughly educated on all of this wiki's policies so that you know exactly what is and isn't right. If you have any questions, feel free to contact an admin. (hint: if I were you, I'd either go for MrPacheco101, Drayco90, or Arrow7000)

As for making your battle in particular more popular, I recommend:


 * Have a well-formatted blog post. Sometimes, this can win people over, and having enough information in the blog post can enable people who know little about either warriors to formulate an opinion and vote.


 * Have warriors people have heard about. Poor SPARTAN 119. He puts so much effort into all of his blog posts, and his battles are very, very good. Unfortunately, he frequently uses warriors who are not very well-known at all, and attracts a very, very small audience. I'm not discouraging you from making a battle using a not very well-known warrior, but this can result in a very small audience, and people not wanting to vote on your battle even if you use the method below.

*A healthy amount of advertising on chat and on people's talk pages is allowed. In fact, it's quite rare that I go on chat and there's nobody asking anyone else to ote on their fight. So nobody's going to bite your head off if you get on chat and ask people to vote on you fight. Sometimes people will be willing to exchange votes if they have an active voting period.

This wiki is still growing, so your contributions to this wiki will be appreciated. Just sign in, edit do battles, be a civilized person, and you'll be liked in not time!
