Handy Notes (read this)
Links to everything you might need are in the header, but these are handy tips to keep in mind
- Removing content without deleting it
- You can use the
<!---and--->around content when editing, it will prevent it from actually appearing on the page.- Use it to remove text temporarily without deleting the content (if it might be useful info)
- Use it to add notes and memos to other contributors

- Editing pages
- Summary

- You can write here a quick explanation for your edit
- minor edits
- Only check the "minor edits" if you are fixing spelling errors or formatting

- Watch this Page
- If you wish to be notified whenever someone edits this specific page (will appear on your "watchlist" in the top corner)
- Templates Used (appear at the very bottom)
- All templates being used on this page (or section) will be listed at the bottom of the edit page, sometimes need to "show preview" first when editing sections for it to appear.
- You use this list to easily access the templates in action (to view their "explanation" or edit them)
UserPage / Sandbox
- When you have an account on the Krafties Wiki, you are able to create your User page, by clicking your name in the top-right.
