Help:Getting Started
- Why would you want to contribute?
-
- You know some content is incorrect and wish to correct it
- You see a page empty, which you know what to fill with
- You know of missing content and wish to create it
- You have pictures which can be uploaded which are useful for pages
- Wish to help clean up and sort pages
- That's reason enough to wish to join in
- Just keep in mind to coordinate with MyraMidnight (the current Wiki-Writer) when adding large amount of information, so she can take a look at it and help add proper formatting
Joining the Wiki Team
You will need an account on the Wiki before you can begin contributing. At the moment only members of the Krafties Staff are able to have an account, which is distributed by Kris (the creator of Krafties).
Sandbox/Userpage
Every User can create page and content, and sometimes you wish to test out your wiki-coding somewhere before adding to the real content of the wiki. Making your User Page is a good place to create a personal sandbox and introducing yourself.
- Click your Username at the top, once you've created an account.
- Click Create to make the User:Username page for yourself.
- Have fun filling it with content
Creating Content
Creating Content is as easy as searching for it. If you can't find it, feel free to create it, because somebody else will probably search for it too at some point. Can browse the already made pages and categories, or simply use the Search function. If the search can't find it, it will give you the option of creating the missing page.
New Page
- When failing to find something with search, you will get:
- Create the page "NewPage" on this wiki!
- Click the red link to proceed to the creation page. Add content, category or redirect it to the proper place.
- Show preview of what you've made so far.
- Save page when you're done. You just made a page!
Edit Page
When you find a page lacking content, or wish to add your knowledge to the page, or simply wish to add links and thumbnails, then you edit.
- Click edit on the top of the page/part of page which you wish to edit.
- Add your content, press Show preview to see the results
- When to use the "This is a minor edit"
- When you were altering the format, visual changes, re-wording, adding thumbnails. Do not use this option if you were adding something new to the page.
- Press Save page when done.
Files
Files are images which are used within pages. These image Files can also be added to a category.
Upload File
- Press Upload file on Toolbox link list.
- Find your file to upload, and maybe add it to a category in the summary.
- If the the file for the very same subject exists, please go to it and update it.
Update File
When you are on a File Page, you can upload a updated version of that image, instead of uploading a new File and naming it nr.2 or something alike.
- Find the File Page among the List of Files
- Click the "Upload a new version of this file" which below the File History.
- Find your new File and upload
- If the file extension is different than the original you will simply have to make a New File since .jpg cannot be updated with a .png
