Contributors/WikiWrites
The Help: pages are made to assist those who contribute to the wiki. Tips and tricks, guides, tutorials and anything that might come in handy.
Being a Contributor
Anyone who adds and edits content of the wiki is a contributors, who help keep the wiki accurate and up to date.
- All Krafties staff can be contributors (ask the Admin to create account for you)
- It is a group effort to keep this wiki up to date and useful as it's contents grow
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
- Use it to hide text while you are rearranging or rewriting content
- Editing pages
- Summary
- If you are editing a section, this will automatically fill with it's title
- 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
- This does not hide the fact that the page was edited, it just allows contributors to "hide minor edits" (which can often drown the "recent changes" list)
- 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.
- This can become your private sandbox and a place to keep track of your ideas on the wiki
- Use your sandbox when testing out templates or creating new tables
- also, whenever you make a contribution (editing and adding content) it will link to your user page
Editing Guidelines
If you become a regular contributor to the site it is recommended you familiarize yourself with the general editing guidelines. It will help keep pages consistent throughout the site and make editing easier for yourself and other people.
